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

Sometimes it is how you lose. Pass interference calls killed us game one, a game we lost inside of one minute. That is correctable and in game two we saw less of it. In game two a blocked FG returned for a TD killed us in a game we lost on a last second kick. That is also correctable. 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.

IT IS NEVER HOW YOU LOSE!!!

Dude its always about WINNING. You win or go home. Doesn't matter how you lose at the end of the day you get a number added to the L column.

Reasons/excuses or for losers.

No. How you lose is important in evaluating a team going forward.

It is to late for that.

I don't know what they were doing in the off season but adding O line and other players who you end up starting the week before your opening game is absolutely horrible.

They were behind from the begining.

They were not able to establish a winning culture in the off season and just was walking though the motions and didn't do what winning ball clubs do and that is be prepared for the start of the season.

We basically rebuilt our whole team with the exception of about three or four players without sinking to a 1 or 2 win season. Payton had us expecting to win every game almost every week for multiple years. We are on the right track. You also cant control injuries unless ur the pats and then it doesn't even matter who plays. I hate losing but I love the progress being made.

Ah, but for our defense it is a 'win' just to be in the game in the 4th quarter.

Yep.

This is the third straight season the Saints have started out 0-2. Both seasons ended with 7-9 records.

Monday is a must win.

I never said it was a victory. What I was pointing out is that it isn't as dismal as it has been. Life isn't only black and white. There are many shades of gray.
