Upon doing the math, this game is about a 32% indicator of how we'll play without Drew Brees in 2015.

With the Drew Factor, this game drops to a 13% indicator of future performance which, considering our strength of schedule combined with the changes made by all 16 of our opponents, and factoring in injuries to all 16 of our opponents I can truly verify that we'll absolutely finish somewhere between 2 and 15 wins.

Owwww. My heads hurts. Screw percentages... Win f--king games

I will say this, it looked like Garret Grayson will be more than ready in 2 years.

Evan Mathis and Red Bryant are still out there. bring them in for a look and see what they got left in the tank. keep an eye on the waiver wires big time.

Jahri Evans. I'm afraid he is done. Those backups better be ready. Interior O-line and D-line are huge question marks.

If we had cap room Evan Mathis would be a no brainer.

Jahri has gotten paid and he's just going through the motions...

We may have kept the wrong G.? Grubbs money was high but Evans was getting killed last season too. Grubbs would have looked good with our new C in the run game.

I can't lie, I'm more worried about OG than absolutely any position on this team.

I'm hoping Loomis at least has Evan Mathis' phone number on speed dial.

Then again, they may have several vets targeted and are simply waiting for those 1st round of cuts.

All I look at in preseason is rookies. Two rookie NT look great. Eulls and Richardson I think. Also liked a rookie lb from Virginia. Swann reminds me of Fred Thomas. Can run with anyone but poor ball skills. Marcus Murphy never dances. Just hits the hole. Hell help us. The WR Snead has a chance and Grayson is legit. Gonna be a great battle for backup qb. Football is back! WhoDat!

Our whole season depends on how well the O-Line can come together. The defense sure as hell ain't winning any games for us and if Brees can't step up in the pocket we're sunk.

Know Your Sean Payton Terminology - Hidden Yardage

Sean Payton made a point to identify a trio of New Orleans Saints who stood out for the right reasons in Thursday night’s preseason loss...

“I thought Murphy returned the ball exceptionally well,” Payton said of Murphy, who returned five kickoffs for 132 yards, with a long of 32...

...Payton said Murphy “showed great courage” and “thought his instincts were pretty good.”

Payton also mentioned rookie cornerback Damian Swann, who had one big interception and two costly penalties. Payton said Swann, “made a few good plays in the secondary; that was encouraging.”

Last but not least, Payton praised one of the Saints’ biggest acquisitions of the offseason -- new center Max Unger...

“I thought Max Unger in his first game did some really good things,” Payton said.

As for the bad and the ugly...Payton said the coaches officially counted the Saints as finishing minus-211 in “hidden yardage” because of things like yards gained after penalties that kept drives alive.

“That’s a real high number,” Payton emphasized.

The Saints had a whopping total of 16 penalties for 143 yards in the loss.
