Anyone else a bit concerned about our offense?

Brees has 2 more interceptions today.

Well look what he did in St Louis with their defense and he was using 3rd string CBs.

This has me excited this season because I am expecting the defense to really be good, their is no more of this other team scoring 20+ pts all the time this season.

We'd be walking in high cotton if the Saints were just better than average at;
yards per rush allowed,
yards per pass attempt allowed,
and had a positive turn over ratio,

all in the same season.

Our offense is known to have sluggish weeks. Tampa, Seattle.... Hopefully next will be back to badassery as usual.

Not concerned at all, it's the same team, thus lots of familiarity with each other. Only natural that our defense would pick up a step or two...plus we have an actual DC this season...

The whole team could possibly suck this year.
Or we could possibly win the Super Bowl.
I like to think the O getting manhandled in practice is a product of a new
attitude from Spags, and from fresh blood / new players.

I recall how terrible we looked in preseason in 2006.
(I drove away from Shreveport, completely distraught over the
preseason loss to the Cowboys, getting torched by a rookie named Romo. )

Then came the Dome Opener.

If i remember correctly our offense had a bad camp last year?

I was at that game too. I had some loud, drunk, obnoxious boys fans (I know obnoxious boys fan is redundant) behind me heckling the whole game. I thought we'd probably finish up around 3-13 again. Remember how it poured cats and dogs.

The whole night sucked. One of my many low points as a Saints fan.

Yeah I think you're pretty right. Plus, I joked about this in another thread, but keep in mind-- Drew's wife is about to drop a baby, like, ANY MINUTE NOW. He will get his game face back on, once that all gets sorted out.

Wait we signed Brees ! Sproles, Colston, Graham, PT, Henderson, and Give me more Moore. And Very solid O-Line.
