I'm here at the game and we suck the life out of our own home fans!

This was walking into the game from Champion Square. Granted it was 100 degrees so lots of people taking shelter in shade. You could feel the enthusiasm and excitement.

Midway through the 3rd quarter after there was only 1(one) time fans had to cheer about anything the entire game. People started filing out in droves. In the 40 plus years I've attended opening home games, this was one of the worst. Just remember, the Saints have NOT won a single game this year including preseason. Again, fans would start to get revved up only to be squashed by penalty, turnover, drop pass, long run, bad everything.

Frankly I am not surprised. I followed every snap and at a distance it was ominous. Alas.

I agree, but I only remember one stretch (not counting before kickoff) during the game where I felt like the fans were really getting revved up and not waiting for the other shoe to drop. So then when it did, it was instant deflation. I get the feel that if it is not a blow out, there is no faith.
Not that I am saying there should be, just saying.
