Saints defense crumbles

But it wasn't one game... I didn't see very many flashes of brilliance during the reason either.

I think its funny all the talk on the forums and predictions about us and all to be over-hype non-sense. No body could wait to play a game first before the predictions and power rankings come out.

I had a feeling it was gonna happen. Every time people in the media start to say that we are going to win the superbowl this happens. The falcons offense when healthy is good at home but our D was just as bad as they where good. We will DESTROY them in our dome.

IF anyone truly thought we were going to pick up where we left off last year they are delusional. Even with the new additions. Going from worst ever to 4th overall is a major achievement but is an overacheivment. To expect that again is unreasonable. I never expected us to be any better than above average this year. Which is fine by me because with our offense we don't have to be top five. You don't rebuild a crappy defense in one year. Even if we are just above average this year it is still a major achievement. If we can stay middle of the pack to above average on defense we should win a lot of games.
I did not see anything about this defense yesterday encouraging, but I am willing to write it off as first game confusion and division rivalry. I doubt they are that bad.
