Re: I'm afraid we're in trouble.

We definitely don't have the team to run the table. However, I can't help but think they have upgraded on D from last year. The preseason saw several teams drive right down and score with little dink plays on the Saints but on the other hand then we saw defensive adjustments that actually worked after those drives.
The LB's are a question, no doubt. Vaccaro is exciting, and Jordan is playing like he should. I no Will Smith to worry about at OLB. The Saints D will not dominate the league, but a mid range D with the offense is a great dynamic.
Tha Atlanta game will set the stage for the season.

Did someone pass out after the loss to the Panthers on Dec 30th and wake up this morning reading falconslife?

Did I mention that I've had Saints Season tickets for 25 years and have seen it all? The great, the good, the bad, the worse, the worst ... I've seen it all and my support for my Saints has never wavered. I'm just not blind.

Re: I'm afraid we're in trouble.

I bleed black and gold but I am also realistic I know that I can't always look through the back and gold spectacles either of course the defense has shown some improvement but I don't think its as big to say there mid pack even you have to remember those starter for some of those games weren't playing much beside they first few drives either and I don't think any didn't not score on the first drive plus with the exception of Houston none have very great offenses that scare anyone . Houston first team tore us up if you recall weather it was Johnson gouging us with big play after big play or it was 2nd Teamer Ben Tate gashing us for big runs. it was getting ugly Brees was getting hit and aside from the big screen our offense did nothing really

Get back to me after a game in the regular season, where the defense is in the actual scheme. (they stayed in a 4-3 that Houston game) And really why worry about the offense, you do understand that Payton/Brees have had a top 5 offense since they've been here...
