What a difference a year makes
 

For the past two years we have had the same stinking record. We felt like losers, defense was actually getting worse, and we had no discipline. It was hard to watch and surely wasn't entertaining.

This year is different. Same record but totally different team personnel wise, scheme wise, and attitude wise. These games are entertaining. Yes we are losing but we look damn sure good doing it. Feels good don't it?

Yes it does.

What was the question again?

Re: What a difference a year makes
 

No, I can't say being 5-6 felt good. 5-7 is just a little more confirming that no matter what they do in any game, you can never count on them following it up.

Re: What a difference a year makes
 

We don't look good losing because we are putting ourselves in holes that we can't possibly get out of, that is not the mark of a good looking team.

As burningmetal said, all this does is confirm that after a big win, we always, always, come crashing back down to earth.

Couple that with the fact we have started at least 0-3 for the past 3 seasons.

You could see it on players' faces today. The "thousand-yard stare".

Re: What a difference a year makes
 

Surely didn't look good today. We got our a$$ handed to us today in the dome, I don't get being excited about that.

Such loser talk in this forum right now.

A different feeling? Maybe that feeling is just you, and others getting used to losing and lowering your expectations. It's a natural progression given that we have 3 losing seasons in a row.

There is no passion from the coaching staff, nothing has changed.

Fun to watch... yes. Tired of every game coming down to the last quarter... yes... I think Cooks is gone in the off season for running his mouth. Trade 'em, get a defensive player for him.

2017 is the year for the saints to make their roster moves
