We can’t look at the rest of our schedule. We can’t look at our division. We can’t look at anything other than how do we win this week? I feel like that’s the approach we’ve taken this entire season. I feel like we’ve gotten better every week with the exception of last week. Last week was extremely disappointing, the result of the game and our overall performance as a team, just did not play up to our standard, certainly with the hype going into that game and we were all hurt by it, but it also lights a fire within all of us that we don’t want that to be the lasting memory that people have of our team. We’re better than that and we need to show them on Monday night.”

Great and it only took them to lose 5 games already to realize it.

$100 million don't burn Drew. And it consumes what little talent there is on the team.

No, The SUPER BOWL that you WON lit a fire.

WITHIN US. THE FANS.

Now, play football, you now-paid-prima-donna!!!

blah, blah blah. The fire should have been lit on week 1.

Drew Brees is an exceptional QB. He is seriously a once in a lifetime event. With that said, he is on the down spiral of his career. He will indeed make a little noise and get close again, or do it again, who knows. What we do know is the defense is going to have a major rebuild after this season. The offense is not too far away, it is about 2 years into the future of having to rebuild that unit too.

I guess the point I am trying to make is time is quickly running out on the Saints. Right now is the time. It has been time for the past few years, but it didn't happen. Eventually Brees is going to be a washed up QB just trying to hang on. I just hope for the life of me the Saints don't have to go like 10 years before getting some hope.

That is the most absurd proclamation I have ever heard. Okay maybe not, but damn it is top 10 on this website. He just set the all time passing record in a single season last year, and just passed Unitas for all time in straight games with a td pass.

Outside of a shaky line this year, absolutely no running game, and a defense that many times has us down and in a position where we have to throw, where is the drop off?

I agree . What you are saying is just a reality.
I was one hopping Brees just had a two-year contract really good, though, paying him for what he did not get , but earned the first years.
Four -year contract is way too long.

I agree about the rebuliding years. This current team of many coaches, players, brining in new ones too HAD , HAD about another two years shelf life.

Seems, last year was it and now, is the start of downhill and folks after this year, it is really downhill.

Still, always,

Had he shown up to training camp on time instead of squeezing a few more million dollars out of the team we wouldn't need to have fires lit...

That I do blame him for... He didn't exactly play the greatest games week 1-3.
