Ask me after next game

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

If the offense can continue to score 30+ a game you're right. But that's what it's going to take, because our defense sucks chipmunk balls.

who the heck thought that?

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

I am VERY cynical right now, but ask me again later. I think if we can just stay at .500 or better until we get Vitt back, we can put together a serious run. It felt like a blowout, but there were several turning points in this game where it could have gone the other way and gotten the Saints back in it -- but it just didn't happen.

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

Defense just has to hold teams to 20ish.
Even ugly like we put up 30's. That's enough to beat most...
We are going to have to start pulling Brees for pitch-count.
That's rediculous. FIFTY-TWO? dayum!
Defense will get better.
I believe we can still do it.

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

good news is Drew took full responsibility in his press conference and said the offense WILL get better...

So will the defense, have to still be learning the nuances of the new scheme.

Remember we lost the first game last year too...

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

Really sets up a hell of a do or die game next week, cause the panties lost today

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

everyone has pointed out the bad stats from today

YET

we almost pulled the game out of the fire.

the season just started :)

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

So true, and tell ya what man if not for that terrible 12 man on the field penalty, who knows what might have been

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

10 wins?

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

90% of the posters on this board.

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

As it turns out, perhaps letting Meachem go was a mistake. He drew lots of attention and worked well in our offensive schemes. After Henderson left the game with injury, we had no speedsters (except Sproles).

I feel this is going to be a looooooooong season. I'm already eyeing the paper bags. Sigh.

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

11-5

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

11-5

or better

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

I don't think anybody wanted to lose Meachum. I think it was more of a salary cap issue. With Colston and Brees' contracts up too, somebody was going to pay one of them more than we could.

You're right though, he's definitely missed.

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

Still a lot of season left.
Of course we did start 0-1 last season, and didn't look very good in the 1st game either.

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

meh. Shrug it off and let's go again.

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

Would like just enough to get home field advantage for the playoffs...

10 and all the tie-breakers for other teams in the playoff would be fine.

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

RG3 is going to be a great one. The kids got it all.

How many teams could play as badly as we did yesterday and still come within one play of winning the game? Let's not forget that this was the first time Kroemer has ever been the head man at any level. If he's as sharp as everyone says he is he'll learn from yesterdays mistakes and be better next week.

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

IIRC the Saints played some of thier best football after being embarrassed by the Rams.
Hopefully this happens again

Re: still think we are a 12-14 win team
 

Yes I expect at least 11-5.

Yes! Jesus!
