Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

3 "PAINFUL TO WATCH" games have passed with all of them being devastating to watch because they were so close and within our grasp of winning.
We have the ref's bad calls, the bounty crap lingering, injuries piling on and bad playcalling..

I've created a poll to find out what most Saints fans find most frustrating about this season so far 3 games in with an even tougher schedule coming up.

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

I'm a die hard fan, but I have to be honest and at the end of that game tonight, it really didn't matter to me if we won because of how terrible we played. KC wanted the game more than us. You tell by the second half performance.

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

The most frustrating rather disappointing thing about this season is not having Payton around the team.

EVERYTHING

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

The most frustrating thing is that the players themselves seem so "whatever" about the whole thing. There's no winning spirit out there, they seem totally ok to lose.

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

Roger Goodell's overzealous attempt to make an example of this organization with unprecedented punishments reached using inconclusive evidence.

Then, in no particular order:

Defense
Offense
Bad play calls and bad replay calls

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

I doubt that seriously.

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

I too doubt that they are totally ok to lose, but that's not what I see on the field.

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

Agree with this, no passion, no pride, dumbass decisions when we have an 18 point lead,

Drew you wouldn't normally throw to a WR when he's that we'll covered, so why did you when we have an 18 point lead?

The most depressing thing is watching the O being lathargic and looking like they want to get off the field, then putting the D out there for 13 mins per quarter and expecting a stop

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

I kind of expect and still expect the defense to struggle as it adapts, makes adjustments... so I'm frustrated with the defense, but not at all surprised. This may sound rather bizarre, considering the fact that the KC running game just tore us to shreds, but I've seen some things that have been improved this year as opposed to the previous years. Of course there is still a ton of work to be done, but i'm really optimistic that it'll get there.

Not having Payton coaching right when our talent is at our peak is frustrating.

The offense is where the biggest frustration comes from for me currently.. especially the offensive line. The unit has just looked downright horrible in pass protection. I'm not sure if the reason is Payton not being there... or the fact that we have some replacement players taking over for guys in previous years; but something really has to be done. To me so far, it's the biggest difference from last year and tbh if we got the same production out of the O-line as we had in previous years, we'd be 3-0 right now.

That the Falcons are good, and they are. They are a good team. I don't think they'll beat GB, but they are definitely top 3 or 4 in the NFC

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

The majority of this team won a Superbowl together and went through the worst offseason in NFL history (more than once).

You guys are smoking crack if you think they don't want to win.

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

Yes, Atlanta is good again - maybe even better than ever.

But they still haven't won a playoff game.

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

No Sean Payton.

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

I'm most frustrated with our offense. I didn't expect the defense to play great, but our offense is just as pathetic.

Graham? Has he NOT dropped a pass in every game?

Colston? Has he NOT dropped a pass in every game?

Devery? He looks slower than usual.

O-line? - Went from best in the NFL to one of the worst.

Drew? - Forced into really ugly plays. He looks positively average.

3 and outs? - We've had more in 3 games than the last 4 years combined, and then multiplied together.

This wasn't supposed to happen to our offense.

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

IMHO the skill players are trying TOO HARD, knowing they need to score 7 every flaming time they are on the field because they know that the D couldn't stop a junior high team from marching up and down the field...

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

Can I also add seeing players on both sides of the ball (Graham, Will Smith) acting like they just won the freaking Superbowl because they make one good play (and then screw up 3 others)???

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

3 n outs ....

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

The line of scrimmage, on Both sides. We are getting owned at the LOS, and it's extremely hard to watch.

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

Payton not being there. He would be on someones a$$ if they screwed up, there is an old sayin'"When the cats away the mouse will play" this season I see no disipline at all, Payton commands disipline and will not tolerate any player that is not. I feel sorry for Kromer he just is not head coaching material at this point in his career but don't be surprised if he learns from this and one day becomes a very good coach, I wish him well I really do, he has a lot on his shoulders, too much.

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

The most frustrating thing to me is that this is basically the same group of guys who won 13 games last year, and were serious Super Bowl contenders coming into this season.

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

I picked Spags & the defense because they have not lived up to expectations and watching both the Saints secondary and the Lions secondary every Sunday is starting to have a negative affect on my usually positive & sunny disposition, :sad:.

I would have picked 'being last in the division' and 'Payton not being around' also, but haven't got the hang of multiple choice polls. How do you guys pick multiple picks? It closes out the poll whenever I make my first pick.

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

Pretty much sums it up

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

I expected defense to get a slow start this year.

Our team was built on offense and scoring, and controlling the ball. If you do that, defense doesnt matter--- see previous seasons..

the OFFENSE.

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

Payton not being there. He would of benched or cut Patrick Robinson by now. He would of lit a fire under this team to deal with all the distractions of this offseason. The Oline is struggling, their coach has to deal with coaching the whole team now, lets just hope that Vitt can right this ship somehow when he returns

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

We have issues... at the same time Atlanta is 3-0 and people are already crowing them NFC Champs.
And we all know they aren't that good...
Yeah that what bothers me most

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

The way they're looking now, we'd better enjoy saying this while we can

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

1. The quote "the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome" being ignored. Weeks 1/2/3 all same game plan it seems and all had the same outcome.

2. Cadet and Ivory not dressing out and playing. Why do we have players on the 53 not active?

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

By rule, teams can only have 45 dress on game day, 8 are always inactive...

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

grassy azz...

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

It's actually now 46 this year, but to dress 46 you have to carry 3 QBs on gameday,

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

Why is this a freaking poll?

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

Shanle 3rd QB

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

Was there any performance at all?

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

Polls are chic!

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

Polls are the Dallas Cowboys of fan forums.

Dallas Cowboys are chic!

Re: Whats the "MOST" frustrating about this season?
 

You left one out. The team playing without any heart, desire or pride.

I know there are going to be wins and losses in a season, I can deal with that. I know there will be a game or two each season that you should have won but didn't for whatever reason, but what I just cannot abide is a team that doesn't even try. If you're gonna be in a fight at least make the other guy know you were there. At least get a few licks in. This team is losing and liking it, it seems. No one is upset, no one is angry, no one is chewing any butt, this team is showing no signs of life and to me, that's the most disgusting thing I'm seeing. I'm not saying point fingers, but at least in the locker room kick some chairs or throw a water cooler or something!
