OK, so we're 1 game off pace...

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I think they can win 11 games. But, reality creeps back in and I see them winning 6. The offense just has no margin of error with this defense. A simple penalty, dropped pass, or turnover leaves them coming up ...

Re: OK, so we're 1 game off pace...

I think they can win 11 games. But, reality creeps back in and I see them winning 6. The offense just has no margin of error with this defense. A simple penalty, dropped pass, or turnover leaves them coming up short.

The defense has no pass rush and isn't good at stopping the run. They have no play-makers at all and frankly just aren't coached well on top of that.

I love my Saints and so far have no problem rooting for and being hopeful on Sundays. They are competing. They have been in every game at the end. This week against a Romo and Bryant less team, at home in the dome, is the season. If they can't rise up, show up, and make something happen, it's time to pull the plug on the aging veterans and coaching staff.

It's not that we're losing.

It's the ways we're losing. Dropped passes, no pressure, wide open receivers....breakdown after breakdown.

So the consensus was after 5 games we'd be 2-3 or 3-2 at best.

If we win our next two we're right back on our 10-6 pace.

I ain't bailing.
The very definition of Sunshine!

I think it's safe to say that if the Saints scored more points than their opposition they would win!!

Yeah there's a reason Browner was a number 2 corner. We should have taken TWill.
