Disappointed, very

7-9 here we come

This is the same exact thing that happen in the last 2 seasons, started poorly, got to .500, finished 7-9. Why expect anything different?

why not? This is a decent team, and they're getting better.

We all said the same thing over the last 2 years...

I'm not going to be foolish, this team is pretending.

I didn't and nor did I feel that way. I felt the '14 team was frigan horrible. The defense had 6 sakcs, two more turnovers. we're getting there. not there yet, but getting there. could go 7-9, definitely, but I feel like this team is better and I see it. might not be there yet, but we have the makings of a good team. Just my opinion, and I think there is some evidence for that too

The defense is better. 5 sacks, two turnovers, and the stops needed to put the Saints in a position to win all happened today.
Giving up only 23 points with 4 turnovers by the offense is encouraging.

Honestly more than anything else this game was a "Welcome to the NFL Rookie" moment for Michael Thomas. What he learns and how he rebounds from it will be telling about the kid's character.

Also Atlanta lost.

Disappointed? Sure. discouraged? Not quite yet.

Taking out Carolina Thursday can more than make up for this loss.
