That was one player. Byrd was also injury prone and we knew that! those were just bad signings. You don't quit just because of that. I wanted us to get the league's attention this offseason, we didn't. People still think we're gonna suck outside of this fanbase.

Have you not been paying attention? What Moreau pick?

How can I be optimistic when we didn't go all out for a big game-changing player. We could have gotten two. This FO has made it seem like we were several pieces away.

I agree, I agree! Who are the two you're talking about?

This team is doing everything to piss me off. This isn't the winning team attitude of the past.

Who are the two "game changing" players the Saints had the cap room and need to get?

Brees and Sharper.

Which one of your teams are you talking about, now?

Seriously Will, if I went through life thinking like you all the time I would jump off a skyscraper.

Try to find some optimism in your post bro.

YOU MUST WIN the TURNOVER BATTLE and BE GREAT or DIE TRYING....
This may be hard to believe but... I can't take out team being a bunch of puzzies.

I made a serious valid post asking for where our turnovers were coming from and people wanted to make a big deal out of it. Whatever, it's the truth, we gave up a one-two punch half in our offense just to not have a disruptive defense?

The schedule's better than last year for offenses against us or have the right balance to counter attack us.

Green Bay, New England are good on offense
Detroit, Minnesota, Chicago, Buffalo, LA are good on defense.

So we want to improve defensively to force punts but when we force them against the likes of the defensive teams, they're going to hit back. The saints, without turnovers, will not be able to execute the quick strike with Ingram like they did against TB.

Something tells me though we will win the division next year because the division is gonna suck.

Dude, why did you come back if this is the trash you're bringing to the forum?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I don't agree with you at all. The moves thus far have been great for the D. Not to mention the new position coaches... Great offseason so far and the draft is still to come. All we need is Butler and a starting DE from the draft, we could be looking at a top ten D.

If you don't think that's possible just remember where we were in 2012 and how we rebounded on D in 2013, from last to 4th in one year.
