Swaggerless New Orleans Saints must adjust without Sean Payton
 

Overreaction Monday has yielded to Acceptance Tuesday and Turn-the-corner Thursday at Saints camp as the team prepares for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers.

And yet around the Who Dat Nation, the fallout from the demoralizing 40-32 still lingers, like storm debris on our city's curbs.

By all accounts, the setback was one of the most shocking in recent memory, not so much for what happened by how it happened. The Saints were almost unrecognizable in their lack of discipline and sense of urgency, anything but the irresistible force we've come to expect at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
