I know many of us had high expectations going into the season. I certainly did. And through the first few games of the season, I blamed a lot of the losses on injuries, lack of defensive consistency and special teams.

Now with three games remaining on the schedule and a winning season out of reach, 8-8 is the absolute best that can be had. The playoffs, although technically still reachable, are a pipe dream, even if the Saints finish the season with three straight wins.

The fact is that the loss to the Bucs crushed what little hope fans (and probably players and team officials) had of reaching the post season and calling the season a success.

Disappointed. Frustrated. Pissed off. All of the above.

Fans are calling for the head coach and GM to be fired and replaced, the entire organization to be overhauled, and now after the last two performances, some are even calling for the illustrious Drew Brees to be traded or replaced.

Lot of hate going on. Some of it well warranted. Some of it a little extreme (IMO).

The season isn't over yet. Theres three games left. And to me it's important that they finish on a strong note. I'd like to see the defense continue to improve and the offense to get back on track.

Whatever happens in the off season is not in any of our control. But I do know that no matter what, I'd like to see some moves that will improve both lines on both sides of the ball and overall team depth.

Regardless, it's been a good season with all of you. I'm not throwing in the towel yet, but that's just me.

Just wanted to say a few words about it all. I'll see you all in chat and forums.
