As Saints fans we are emotional, angry, sad, and want to place blame for the 1-4 start. This week the fingers are pointing to the timeless fan favorite of "Sean Payton's play calling is TERRIBLE!" My emails this week and people yelling at me on Twitter are all, "Payton has lost the fire, he's not aggressive, he needs to let Pete Carmichael call plays!"

I've never been big on "If the Saints would just call better plays, they'd win" eulogizing.

The theory of "Pete Carmichael called plays in 2011 and 2012 and the Saints offense was GREAT, so do that and things will get better" is delusion and denial on a magnificent scale. The 2015 Saints are like the 2011 Saints the same way Earnest Hemingway and I are both writers. Both things appear exactly alike from 20,000 miles away. It's only up close you realize things are very different.

As fans it's very difficult for us to let go of what the Saints were. Oh sure during the week we tell ourselves the Saints are rebuilding and they aren't any good on offense anymore but on game day Drew Brees is still the quarterback and we want the MAGIC! Why can't Sean Payton find it? It has to be in there somewhere?

Forecast: Saints problems are from lack of talent, not play-calling
