I refuse to accept this
 

Im not buying it. There is no way our team is this bad. It looks bad but I am not giving up yet. Other teams have gotten to the playoffs with their #2 QB at the healm. Other teams have had crap defenses that amazingly got it together around week 4 and finished the season more than decent. Payton has earned my respect and has earned the benifit of the doubt as far as I am concerned. Im only speaking for myself. Its obvious now that there was a reason and method behind his puzzling play calling yesterday. In 06 he came in and we had no idea what we are going to get. Our players over achieved that year. It wasnt just Brees, all the players stepped up.
Our defense although not great is playing with passion and heart. They are young and they will learn. Its not going to get any worse in that department barring more injury.
Two years ago Carolina started 0-2 and looked horrible doing it. They were ready to run Newton and their coach out of town. They turned it around and had a damn good season.
We lose 2 more and dont look like we have improved I am done. I will watch them for fun and just hope they play spoiler to Atl, Car, Tampa and maybe knock a wild card out of the hunt.
It sucks today but it is much better than 2 months ago. At least there is football.

Good news is we'll get Keenan Lewis back soon. That will help A LOT.

What worries me is hearing that Byrd's career is over and the Saints will be trying to recoup some of that money.

I'll say it again, it's week two.

0-2 & no Brees. Looks grim.
