I not sure where this complaint of lack of aggressiveness comes from; throwing the ball from our own 2 yd line for a TD isn't exactly passive.

Takeaway a Brees fumble and a blocked kick the Saints would be 2-0.

Injuries are a factor as well, not using that as an excuse.

The defense and the offensive line are playing better than we all expected.

The Saints will put it together!

Takeaway Sean Payton and the saints would be 2-0.

How in the hell do you come up with that?

The fact that Sean Payton, his decision making and not preparing the players correctly is what's holding us back.

Signing Fleener for 5 years and 36 mil
Cutting Spiller when Cadet is awful
Putting Brandon Coleman in the game when he's useless

Look at the patriots, 2-0 and missing their starting QB and best receiver.

The grass is always going to look greener elsewhere when we are 0-2. But you have to consider things look worse because of what had been done before -

coaching Colston into a ProBowl caliber receiver
finding and coaching up Grubbs, Nicks and Evans on the OL
finding and coaching up Lance Moore, PT and Ivory on the offense
Fujita, Vilma, Sharper - balled out for us completely and became leaders
Shockey - playing fairly well and adding spirit and aggression to the team

The production and fire has ebbed off. Outside of Snead, we are no longer overachievers. That's why, as fans, we are starting to scratch our heads. It's not the same - Payton needs to find a way to reinvent his approach, or things could go pretty badly.
