Why are you 0-2 with your back against the wall?

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I'm not even sure that either of these teams are any good. Both had around the same record as we did last year and the Giants were in an easier division with Romo being hurt and all. Yes we played ...

Re: Why are you 0-2 with your back against the wall?

I'm not even sure that either of these teams are any good. Both had around the same record as we did last year and the Giants were in an easier division with Romo being hurt and all.
Yes we played hard and with heart but good teams win these close games. We lost because we weren't the better team.

Main thing I am exited about is it looks like by next year our defense could be special. It will likely be Brees last shot at a SB with us so I would like to see improvement throughout the season. Let's face it though, we aren't winning anything this year. Our schedule only gets harder.

Had we been manhandled in either game then dooming and glooming might be appropriate. But considering we have all divisional games remaining and sit only a game out of first it is too early to be giving up.
I am sorry, telling the truth about our record is now considered doom and gloom and giving up?

The wheels haven't fallen off yet but I think we need to get our sh!+ together.
I work with a Failcon. As dirty as a bird can get.
We even that score and we are right back in it.
We don't look deep enough to go deep, but we are capable of some good football.
We have lost games at the very end or by small margins for 3 straight seasons, it didn't get cleaned up then and i have a hard time believing it will get sorted until we get rid of Payton and his buddies.

We lost those games because the defense couldn't stop anyone. You cannot argue the fact that the defense does look much improved.

Not going to argue because I agree, vs the giants and for 3 quarters of the Raiders game our D looked much, much better.

Tackling in the Giants game was very solid all around.

We beat the Falcons and we jump ahead of them.
Haven't yet played the other two either.
We're only 2 games into a 16 game season.
Somebody just hold the tail...
