We aren't doing our Jobs as Fans Either ...

There's nothing wrong with realism, but you gotta admit that some fans out there are acting like we are the Cleveland Browns -- as if our game against the Chiefs and Skins was as good as we can possibly hope to get, the highest peak the team can reach. This is it, we suck, and we are doomed to continue sucking -- as if this is all there is in store for us, forever in the future, we will limp along until draft day 2013 when MAYBE we can win a game.

Let's recap the exploits of the "headless chicken" Saints so far:

Game 1, Redskins - looked good for 1 drive on both sides of the ball, then fell apart
Game 2, Panthers - looked dominant for 1 quarter, then fell apart
Game 3, Chiefs -- looked good for one full half, then fell apart
Game 4, Packers - looked like "the normal Saints" of last year until what? 2:49 left in the 4th or something?

It's painful to watch these games, but it's also kinda difficult NOT to see a trend forming there. A trend of maybe a little less painful on the eyes?

This was the most "complete" game on offense and defense we have played so far, against the best team we've played, and while some of those other games were ugly and not ever as close as they appeared to be, this one was actually a close game. And some people here were predicting the Packers were going to drop 40 on us, that it would be this scorched earth blowout and all that.

Plus the last two games we have forced 4 turnovers on D, our O is getting back to normal, we are gradually getting better we just need better performance from D line, DB's and WR

I agree 100%

I do see improvement also. What I don't see any improvement in is the D line. In all the years I have been watching football, you have to atleast hurry the QB. We are putting the weight of the world on the offense. The pressure is getting to them. When it comes to having to have a play, they are dropping balls, getting stupid penalties etc. I will continue to hope and cheer for our boys but I am not going to get my hopes up. It don't hurt as much.
