Welcome To 0-2

The 0-2 start honestly does not concern me all that much... really. We can come back from it if we play real Saints ball.

What truly concerns me is what I see when looking at the players on the field and how we are playing regardless of the score. It's not like these are close losses. They are blow-outs and the passion I see from the players is worse than the passion I see from the coaches. So, regardless of our record, and just using what I see from our players on the field we have no chance this season unless we get some passion out of our guys.

I like what you are saying. I know I am sounding like a broken record tonight, but Joe Vitt = passion. He is literally the guy that Payton sends to yell at people for him. Players fear him, respect him, and listen when he talks. He is a piece we are missing along with Payton right now. I think when he comes back the team will look a lot more Payton-like, meaner, tougher, smarter, fewer mistakes, all that type of stuff.

It may be too late by then...

That's a "blow out"?

Don't kid yourself... Both games we were outplayed on many levels. Although minor plays could have affected the outcome in both games, I still feel washington and Carolina controlled both games.

we only lost by 8 because we scored late in the 4th in both games. 35-20 mid way through the 4th quarter is the biggest blow-out the Saints have seen in the last 6 years.
