I only got to watch two partial games and some highlights and somewhat agree, it just didn't look like the Saints I've grown accustomed to since 2011 or so ... remember thinking at one point they looked like they were still in pre-season mode. Whatever it is, I still gotta' think Payton will pull them out of their funk ... at this point, :).

I gotta' tell you guys (again), this whole situation just smacks of yet another similarity between the Lions/Saints. It's almost identical to the situation Detroit has gotten themselves into with Suh's contract, except they didn't have the premium talent to jettison, :lol: ... but it has still tied their hands enough for them to finally realize that they'd probably be better off letting him go & get more value for those contract dollars.

I've been kinda' anticipating seeing how Vaccarro would fare against Calvin, myself ... but signing Golden Tate has taken some of the spotlight off of Megatron ... that guy (Tate) is "Mr. Yards-after-the-Catch" and it's easy to see how he was Seattle's most productive (yds) receiver ... if I'm not mistaken, :).

I have thought this type of thing, too. In fact I wonder if there may actually be two or three smaller separate things going on internally right now. John Jenkins is "healthy" but doesn't make the trip?? Why so few "rainbow" deep shots from Brees anymore, these days? And where the heck is Pierre Thomas?

To me this game was eerily reminiscent of the Saints/Broncos game in 2012, where fan hopes were high and the wheels totally fell off, in the middle of the road, for all to see.

Unfortunately "something internal is wrong with the team" is kinda what I'm smelling. There is clearly a disconnect between what is happening inside the Saints locker room/coaching bubble, and what is happening out on the field. Not sure if it's Payton-related, Ryan-related, or something else.

Re: WTH is going on, WhoDats?!?!

Colston and jimmy almost seem like they are intentionally not catching passes. Colston's no targets a couple of weeks ago and his demeanor seem to also be passive aggressive. I really think there is locker room mutiny going on.

Re: WTH is going on, WhoDats?!?!

Good point about Pierre Thomas!

It seems like he's vanished without trace!

I just don't get it! :-(

Yea I totally agree and posted something real similar last night except I sort of blamed it all on JG.(unfair of course but). He was very outspoken about disliking the release of Sproles and Vilma. Plus he's still mad at Brees because after Brees signed his huge deal he went on ESPN and campaigned for the Saints to be able to pay JG as a TE. Then he said if we lost Graham because we couldn't sign him, we'd be fine without him.

Every bit of that is made up.

Nah, they've started fast outta' the gate before & in recent history only to go something like 1-7/2-6 the second half of their schedule ... Wk #7 is when they start playing the good teams & we'll see if they're for real then, ;) ... it makes for good conversation, but I gotta' think by the time Wk#7 rolls around, the Saints'll be good & tired of what's been going on thus far and be using the Lions game to "make a statement".
