im not losing my mind after one game, its only week one. but, how many times have we started the season badly in the 5 years, and ended the season well? none.

theres a lot of things we need corrected.

defensively, our linebackers looked like crap. granted, they're coming back from injuries. too many missed tackles by the defense as a whole. secondary wasnt too bad, but, certainly far from great. the defensive line got pressure, but, couldnt bring down the qb until the 4th. granted, not all qb's are that hard to bring down!

offensively, the offense was, for the most part, offensive. recievers had trouble getting open and had troubles bringing in the ball. we failed to utilize sproles like we did last year. what happened to utilizing him MORE this year?

and the biggest gaping hole of a problem i saw was the gaping holes we were leaving for the redskins linebackers and dt's to come after drew. the o-line was by far the worst facet of the game today.

rebound saints. get your stuff together. get ready for carolina. and rebound. cause if we dont, its gonna look a lot like it did today next week against cam.

The Saints lost by 8 in the opening game last season too. They went 13-3.

you're seriously going to compare that game to this game? we played great that game and should've won against a great team that was playing at home; they won the super bowl the previous year.

we played horrible today and the game was never as close as the final score indicated. we were never in the game today. and it was against a rookie qb in OUR dome.

not even close.

Yes, I am comparing that game to this one. We lost by 8 points on the first game of the season. Pretty darn similar. We even gave up more points last year. We also lost to much worse teams than this one last season. We still finished up 13-3. I'm still hoping for a similar season.
