They must get back into game shape.
I believe that we will be much more stout on D in the coming weeks with their return.
I just don't get the all or nothing mentality.
They weren't perfect so f-em!
They were ok so they are all-world.
There is a middle ground.
That all goes out of the window when hyperbole is used to MAKE MY POINT!
The Saints won today.
It wasn't perfect and it wasn't an atrocity.
It was a w.
They didn't have to be all world, or unicorns. They just needed to be average against a terrible offense. Yet it was the worst performance of the year from that group, aside from getting the turnovers. You can't depend on turnovers. This team goes weeks without forcing turnovers, sometimes. You can't overlook just how bad it was that receivers were running completely unchecked, virtually the entire game. Or if you want, I guess you can. That's up to you.

Yes we won, and that's great. Everyone has given credit to the offense, and even to the D for at least managing to cause those turnovers. It's not an all or nothing mentality to say the defense played like garbage for most of the game.

Someone please show me where in the definition of being a fan that it says you have to act like a groupie and worship the team, heaping praise just for the sake of making people believe you are the biggest and greatest fan. And I'm not even saying that others can't be unrealistically positive. Just lay off on the holier than thou approach while you're doing it, please.
spkb25 and jonnyrotten like this.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

i could be way off, but it seemed like the gameplan was just terrible. whatever da's idea was did not translate to the game, at all. it was a really terrible exhibition, I am glad we won. BTW- the offense is frigan humming.

I am hoping that they guys just coming back get the timing etc downa nd it proves to be different going forward
