Just my opinion . . .

We might better get ready for more games like the one yesterday. I think we have been in denial through the 5 games this season because the dreaded Super Bowl Hangover is alive and well in the Who Dat Nation. All of us, fans and team, have been riding on last years accompplishments. We all have a bad case of the "Big Head". We are no longer humble . . . our swagger from last year has been replaced by over-confidence. All of the Two Dat talk has clouded our focus on reality. Until we, the fans and the team, become humble we can continue to suffer many more games like yesterday. At this point we will be lucky to have a remote chance at a wild card. Just my opinion . . .

Yeah I've been hit with the stupid stick. But I don't feel bad because Hebert had us at 1 loss going into the Pitt game.

I hate it when reality rains on the Superbowl Hangover Parade. But this is Nawlins. Rain won't stop a parade.

Let's get Sharp and Superbowl hero back on the defense and start the winning all over again!

Earth to Saints fans...

Earth to Saints fans...

Time to return to Earth

I think it comes down to one thing... until the Saints show us otherwise, I'm not drinking the cool-aid.

Suggest the same for everyone else too.

More like Houston (and every other NFL team) we, New Orleans, have a problem!

Been telling everyone this all along. We just don't have the same intensity as last year for all the reasons I've stated in other posts.

The main thing to remember is that we aren't going to win the Super Bowl every year from now on. As far as being out of it; c'mon, we're 3-2, the league's best record is 4-1 and that's only because those teams are getting the luck we were blessed with last year.

Just relax and try to enjoy the season and hope we can make a run if we ever get all our injured players back.

That's what I'm thinking. We are missing some key players.

We have the foundation in place to be damn good for a long time maybe we just need to reignite the intensity.

I really don't think the intensity will return this year. We're competitive because we're a good team but we are NOT playing with the heart we did last year. We're emotionally exhausted and that goes from the front office all the way down to the fans. I'm as guilty of having a Super Bowl hangover as anyone. I've only made ONE home game so far and that was to watch them drop the banner! I've only made hotel reservations for one more and that's the steelers game. I just haven't been able to get excited this year. As a matter of fact, I'm not even as disappointed as I think I should be when we lose. After looking at the schedule, I actually am more excited about next year when we have the Colts and Texans coming to town. The fans will be hungry again and refreshed, the players will be ready to get back to kicking our opponents around and all will be right again. As for this year, I think we'll make the playoffs, I just don't think we will go very far. It's just not our year.

That game reminded of how saints football was played in the past. It's definately not midnight but this stagecoach is starting to turn into a pumpkin early.
