I think it's only fitting for this thread to rear it's ugly head once a year!What better time than after GAME ONE!
I'll admit it was tough watching our D struggle like they did,but guess what there's still a LITTLE BIT of time to right the ship.

JUST SAY NO TO SOFT COVERAGE!!!(AND SLIPPING)

Pick one and wear it proudly:
:bng: :mad: :) :brood: :annoy: :confused: :o :disgusted::bng:

Everybody shout in unison one time...
WHO-DAT
YOU-DAT
WHO-DAT SAY DEY GONNA BEAT DEM SAINTS!
Packers got us...Bring chicago to the SUPERDOME!!!!!!!

:smile: (uppity...no positive...Hell yeah!!)

The Saints defense reads and reacts instead of attacking and doesn't play with an attitude. That could be scheme or talent or more likely a combination of both. The only time the Saints defense hit someone last night was when Jenkins hit Driver. Other than that, it was alot of reaching and grabbing. As far as the criticism of last night game goes, the majority of what I've seen is well deserved. Yet, as I said in another thread, as good as the Packers played and as bad as the Saints played, the Saints still could have won that game.

That is an outright lie.
If you lie, I'll call you a liar. Be forewarned.

Try to be more loyal to your own team. Thanks.

What the bump?

Chill the heck out people. I for one have been on this train since 1979-1980. I am not jumping off now.

I've only been on the big fluffy Saints bandwagon since 1982. Such a cakewalk, and no one ever laughed at me for my Saints gear, or made it
a point to tell me how great the Cowboys were.

We have the greatest quarterback in the game, and a sucky defense.
You old guys probably feel like its Back to the Future now. But there
is a distinct possibility we might completely suck this year.

On the other hand, dating back to 1984. It is past my annual time to
proclaim:

This is gonna be our year. This is it! Here we come!

Now, if we go 15-1, or 1-15, I'll be in my Terrace seat in the Superdome for the home games, and at Ragin Cajun in Houston for the roaders. I go.
I yell. I stay till the end.

Like I heard someone say on the pregame - the loser of that game had no reason to hang their heads because it would be the toughest game on their schedule.

If we can get the D firing on all cyclinders (and creating some turnovers) we are in great shape.


1) We played the Superbowl champs
2) We played them at their place
3) Everyone said we had no chance
4) We lost the TO battle
5) We went down big early
6) We gave up a 108 yard TD KR
7) We had a few questionable plays called

AND WE STILL HAD A CHANCE TO BE TIED IN OUR GRASP!


Just beat the Bears and keep trucking from there.

We got a mulligan in the NFCS, so the race for the division starts Sunday.

Falcons have the Iggles (could easily lose)
Panthers have the Packers (would almost bet the house on the Pack)
Bucs are at the Viqueens (never know - it could happen)

We have a chance to be alone at the top of the division after this weekend - just need to take care of business...

Upset of the week...Pack exposed...lol:twisted:

I'd bet several of the 1-0 NFC teams go down next Sunday, but something tells me the Packers won't be one of them...

Too Early???
:bng::bng::bng::bng::bng::bng:

PLEASE batten down the hatches WHO-DATS!


Not one but TWO scramblin' azz QB's in a row in RG3&The Newt..
That has got to be a half-azz nightmare for any Defense.

Re: "Chicken Little Epidemic" now in full swing
 

I feel a 'perfect storm' of distractions stuck the Saints:

1. The bounty-gate mess

2. Brees' contract negotiations

3. Installing a new defense

4. Uncertainty of who would be coach the Saints during Vitts suspension.

All of that has to be mentally exhausting to the players; just a thought.

Some things just never die :dunce:

I'm Totally with you 656, but dammit let's not follow in Go To Hell Goodells way of excuses!(I Know you're just stating the facts 656:smile:)We're better than that:bng:
But Yes again,I'm totally with you in that we ACTUALLY do have just a LITTLE bit stacked against us!NO DOUBT!

We need Coach back next year with the least amount of gray hair possible(not that this is a bad thing mind you)

Coach is gunna catch hell watching this season from afar instead of being where he's truly needed!ON OUR SIDELINE GIVING THOSE GRIMMACING STARES THAT SHOULD CHILL YOU TO THE CORE AS A PLAYER!
:couch:
Only difference is..
OUR COACH AINT SCARED!

Pure Tenacity on the sideline from him is a huge frikkin loss to our demeanor BUT we will fare well!Joe Vitt @ least please when he's not any longer punished by all that is in total power.

ROGER needs to make like a RABBIT and find himself a hole!:flush:
