In both losses we were a couple of key plays from being 2-0 and leading the south.
Everybody else is 1-1.
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 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...

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.

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.

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.

This team needs to learn how to close and finish.

Two very winnable games.

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

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

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.

Last time I checked our record is 0-2

Meanwhile the dirty birds put up 35 on a Oakland team many believe are a legitimate playoff contender.

Saints better get in a good week of preparation, film study and treatment. Division rival games are never easy.

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.

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.

I am sorry, telling the truth about our record is now considered doom and gloom and giving up?

Reading some of these comments is comical. We are 0-2 but we looked good doing it lol. That is funny thanks The fact of the matter is your 0-2. In your last 14 games preseason included your 3-11. In 5 years you have started 0-2 or worse 4 times that's awful no matter how much you try and spit shine a turd it's still a turd

lee909 09-21-2016 09:16 AM

Re: Why are you 0-2 with your back against the wall?
 
7-19 inc preseason since August 2015. That tells you everything. Yes injuries and suspension happen but they happen to everyone. Yes we have lost close games but good teams wins more than they loose.


There is no "it was a close game" come next week. Its win or bust.

Re: Why are you 0-2 with your back against the wall?
 
As long as the defense can keep their **** together and keep getting better; the offense will come around and the wins will come..

I wonder if Carmichael was calling the plays in the Giants game or did Payton's ego trump all and he took back over

Feels like it's been so long since I have seen a saints win...

I haven't been very positive on the team after starting 0-2, but haven't given up yet. We need to be at least 4-4 by midseason, that's when we get healthy. That being said, if we start 0-4 again you can call the season over, no way to come back from that.

we will probably win this one because we are at home on a Monday night, but like PH said- it will be a small step that some will attempt to show as a giant one.

I have actually said if we could get to 2-4, meaning play 500 ball over the net 4 games and start to get healthy then it is possible we could get 8-10 wins...but we beat the Falcons last year and it was a feel good story and we only ended up 7-9.

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.
