Is this year's collapse worse than last year's?

I\'d have to agree with Whodat that this year is worse that last year. With all of the talent this team has on offense, i.e. Brooks leading the league in TDs, Horn putting up phenomenal numbers (even with limited receptions), a very talented receiving corps, Duece breaking records returning kicks, a very special Special Teams unit and Duece setting a new standard for SAINTS\' rushers, we should have the world at our feat. but we don\'t. The SAINTS have once again squandered a golden opportunity.

What makes it worse this year is that Everyone believed the SAINTS were legitimate contenders. Not just us diehard SAINTS fans, but the whole league and the rest of the nation for that matter. The SAINTS had finally earned Everyone\'s respect by beating the giants of the league. They seemed unstoppable. The only way they could lose was if they beat themselves. And they did once again. They last their drive to win and blew it!

So just as quickly as they won Everyone\'s respect, they lost it. Along with that respect, they may have blown their potential shot at even a wildcard berth into the playoffs. That\'s what\'s so disappointing.

I\'m frustrated and disappointed as I\'m sure you all are. But if you are like me, you\'ll hang in there and hope that one of these years the SAINTS will put it all together and actually win the big one.

Just my thoughts...

Go SAINTS!!!!!
