Re: MOST FRUSTRATING LOST of the Season.
 

I prefer "LOST" to "LOSS" in the title.
Pretty fitting description of our much loved and often extremely confusing Saints organization.

Re: MOST FRUSTRATING LOST of the Season.
 

just wait until they lose to the Jags, some people are going to have their knives hidden on them

Re: MOST FRUSTRATING LOST of the Season.
 

How was this confusing? Our team has been crap. The only reason we won 3 in a row is because our offense played well. Our defense gave up back to back 20 point leads. It is unreasonable for anyone to expect an offense to keep up with that kind of deficit. The Titans have a great defense, good enough to slow us down enough for their ****ty offense to torch our even ****tier defense. You cannot expect a team to spot other teams 20 points and still win. We are as bad as the Titans are. We are exactly that kind of football team this year. Good offense, bad special teams and horrible defense with just not enough experience.

Enjoy the season for what it is but I dont see how anyone can be surprised about a loss. We are just that damn bad.

As frustrated as I am, and as easy as it is to poo poo everything that's going on, I still consider your post a knee jerk reaction. We didn't spot them 20 points. We were up 14-3. We lost the lead to a horrible team.

We didn't just suck on defense, we also only scored 7 points in the second half. That's not some ho-hum thing to dismiss.

We didn't blow the lead against the Colts. We lead the whole game, and they got two lucky touchdowns on us. We actually looked good on defense other than two plays in that game. That's why people had higher expectations than what we're seeing now.

By the way, no one is SURPRISED by this. People are angry because they're sick of constantly losing these kinds of games. We ARE better than the Titans, but this organization doesn't get up for the little guys.

Re: MOST FRUSTRATING LOST of the Season.
 

Yup...nailed it. A 60 yd TD that doinked off of 2 DBs? A potential game-winning FG stooged up only to be partially blocked? A rookie QB who looked like a Pro Bowler in the Dome? An offense that disappears for about 2 quarters?

If anyone was blindsided by any of these has not watched in awhile.

Re: MOST FRUSTRATING LOST of the Season.
 

It happens at least twice a year where this team is looking good the first half and then just sleep walks and thinks their reputation will win in the second half only to lose to inferior opponents. Which is odd because this team hasn't done a thing to even have that kind of mindset.

While I'm angry about the lose its not really a surprise

Re: MOST FRUSTRATING LOST of the Season.
 

That lies with the head coach entirely.

There used to be a time when Payton was called one of the best at half time adjustments, all he does now is take his foot off the pedal and lets teams embarrass us.

Re: MOST FRUSTRATING LOST of the Season.
 

Not surprised at all.
We would have played the Packers better.
Struggling team with an interim coach and QB back from where ever and at home.
Couldn't get it done.
That's this team.
Nobody stepped up when we needed it.
Nobody made a play when we needed it.
We need play makers on both sides of the ball.

Re: MOST FRUSTRATING LOST of the Season.
 

Payton just might have lost this team. We won't know until next season under a new DC and we have played about this number of games.
