This was not any game. This was a season opening HOME game, after the worst offseason in NFL history. We, the fans, have vigorously defended them all offseason and so there are a lot of fired up people waiting to see this team punch someone in the mouth. Then add the fact that the area just got hit by another Hurricane, and that should have been even more motivation to play hard for the fans... And THEN add in the overturned suspensions.

How many more reason can a team possibly have to be motivated for a game? Losing is not what bothered me the most. I know that happens. The Saints lost to an inferior team, and never looked all that concerned about how they were playing. I didn't see excitement, nor anger. Just a bunch of blank stares. THAT is why this loss is disgusting. I'm not giving, not ever. But I couldn't get over how all the hype could lead to a steaming pile of horse crap.

I think that's fair, but I think people just mean the sky hasn't fallen, the season isn't over. I think they are all feeling the same type of frustration as you, I know I am

Well said! Said it better than I could. Utter disappointment about sums it up.

Gotta give credit where it is due. Y'all stomped us. We looked pathetic and RG3 looked to be the real deal. Congrats.

True dat, big win for them.

I give them their props. They figured out early on that our defense still sucks and they abused it all day long.

Look fellas I will say this now. I just got back to my hotel room. The Saint Hotel on canal.... A block and 1/2 fron Bourbon. You guys have to be the coolest bunch of people I have ever met. Just because of what went down at the game today a handful of awesome people wearing black shook my hand, hung out with me, and bought shots.

I truly love this city and have nothing but respect for you guys. Go beat them cowboys, giants, and eagles this year and the rest of the NFC. I bought a Brees shirt and I'll rep those colors when you play anybody but the Redskins. Thank you guys for a wonderful time!! Next time the Skins are out here... ( maybe even the playoffs this year... One can hope haha) I'll be back. All are welcome to come have some drinks on me!

Going to give Shanahan is props for sticking to one running back and punching us in the mouth. RG3's legs are going to make him a star. His ability to extend plays and make throws on the run was a treat to watch.

Smarter more accurate Michael Vick... that's pretty damn scary.

The Refs suck. Cost us 7 points. I know I'm off topic.
