Remind Me Not to Get Excited

The Saints have started 0-2 four times in the last 10 seasons (2007, 2012, 2014, 2015) and every time the team has crawled back to .500 between weeks 8-10, but they’ve never climbed back to a winning record. Not a single time.

OK, here's something else to keep you down,

We had the worst defense in the NFL before this game.

We're almost on a 2012 pace for worse defense in NFL history.

Does that help?

after we bade good riddance to Spags, I didn't care where he went, and didn't know he was at NY. Ironic that he comes back and gets 600 yards laid on him Karma.

Am I the only one seeing thru the numbers
on this defense?
- Yes we were the worst D in football for several weeks. If you go purely
by stats, they're horrible.
- but I saw aggressiveness, pressure, some ball hawking, giants runners
stuffed at the line.
- also sunday, they made the stop that counted. the last one that forced a punt.

- yall know ive been critical, but im starting to like this defense, and our
young guns

100% agree. Statistically, they are horrible. But, they have not quit and have made plays when they had to. They'll continue to improve and gel.

statistically bad, yes, I agree with you that it doesn't mean much in a win

here's my big concern:
14 points by Atl in the 4th Q
21 points by Indy in the last 18 minutes
28 2nd half points by the Giants

are we tired on defense, or are everybody's adjustments working and ours aren't?

arsaint · 11-01-2015, 07:17 PM
