Great coaches win

We are barely hovering above .500 with Payton, one more losing season and we'll be 5-5 in terms of winning and losing seasons.

How much longer is he going to be classed as a successful coach? We won a superbowl nearly 7 years ago and have made 3 trips to the playoffs since.

We'll see how this season plays out, preseason is not making it look promising but another non-playoff season and I absolutely have to believe Payton is on his way out.

Re: 5-11 to 7-9

Some "Well Respected" member of this board claims to have two sources on the "inside" of the Saints Front Office. Two years ago he claimed the Saints had "No Plan" for the upcoming draft. The one that ended up almost all defense!

What say you now?



Don't forget: "We may have lost the game but they'll be hurting today" That's what's most important!!!

No way I see this team being able to win 10 games. Let's just face it. We do not have good players at least not enough good ones to compete. The evaluation of talent has been horrible what is high character without talent. It has been a steady slide downward to the point that it is almost comical. With this offensive line I do not see Brees being able to get through the year injury free. It has almost turned me off to watching football.

The OLine is a concern. But, they are solid if healthy. The offense will be good. With Brees, Cooks, Snead, Thomas, Fleener, and a healthy Spiller added to the mix, I'm not worried about the offense. The defensive lack of pressure is a concern. The loss of Rankins in the mix is big. Now, they're going to have to try and create pressure. Which in turn puts more pressure on a young, albeit, talented secondary. The LB's are solid. Things have to bounce right, but this team could go 10-6.

what evidence can you show that demonstrates the oline is good when healthy?

I once found this beautiful turd outside. I cleaned it and polished it every day. It was very shiny, but at the end of the day it was still a turd

Re: 5-11 to 7-9

Yeah I share in the frustration. You come home give us something to get excited about first 4 series give us something and then coast. There was little to nothing I can take away that we are a play off team.

The D is still a major problem and not our O-line is going to get Bree's killed. We still don't have a running game. I never liked Ingram for the most part and he hasn't changed that one bit.

Seems like this is the season our only dreams are to see who gets the top picks in the draft.

Re: 5-11 to 7-9

I should have know, when I hear on the radio that the Defense looks good at camp. Out doing the O, int's on brees. Sacks from the from line if they were in a game.
Christ, they are both just bad. Young to experience just bad.
I feel like someone just sold me a lemon car off of ebay.

You have to "Want" to buy! Was it "Sold" to you or did you "BUY" it?
