As awful as Katrina was and how overwhelming that the team responded in the way they did, I had an awful feeling long before the game started.

All this so called "emotion" going into the game I felt would not be a factor and this is the reason;

We have 3 players on the roster from 2006, Brees, Evans and Harper

If we had a solid roster, Harper and Evans wouldn't have been re-signed.

The rest of our roster would have been about 10 years old when it happened, undoubtedly it was an awful tradegy, but you can't get players to play with emotion from a tragedy that they were never part of.

Side Note - Why Re-sign Harper, he is worse than he was in his before we released him.

We are relying on past success to try and motivate us to play harder, it ain't working!

I agree. It is staring us right in the face and the team needs to reinvent itself.

We have the most accurate pocket passer in the league and 3 outstanding young receivers with excellent hands - Thomas, Cooks, Snead. Maybe 4 if Lewis comes along. It's probably the best receiving core that Brees has had, and they are young and improving! Ingram and Hightower are solid at runningback.

This offense has great potential and Payton and Carmichael are not doing enough to tap into the talent around Brees. Brees is just making crazy-accurate throws year to guys who are covered. We could be a whole lot better if we had schemes to actually get these guys open. Instead, we have Kuhn split out wide as if he is Jimmy Graham. It's nostalgia combined with milking the same new plays over and over again.
