I don't think sharing your honest opinion is negative. In sports people are very honest. Sports are not like the corporate or academic world. They don't really offer the poop sandwich. You know where you put the poop in the middle and the fluff is on top and bottom to soften the blow that you're eating a poop sandwich. Sports are a tough business. People on this board being honest is just that. Calling it negative isn't really accurate. Some people think one thing and other people think something else. The one thing we have in common is our love for the team.

That's my opinion

Please, let's not go through this again. We're on the same team. To me it is negative. Accept that. To you it isn't. I accept that. Expecting another 7-9 after one game is negative in my mind. Not so in yours. No problem.

And I prefer fried gator poboys to poop sandwiches.

Well I was referencing Dude since he said do you really need to read all the negative posts. Not you. But an honest opinion is neither negative or positive. It just is an opinion. No adjective needed.

Here is good article for you to read and anyone on the board. It puts to rest the idea that this game sits inside some vacuum. It is just another piece of data. I have no idea what to expect from this team, but we don't look much different. And until they prove to me otherwise we are 0-1 and look poor in many aspects of football right now. We look like the same bad team we have been. I hope we aren't. I hope we run off 3 or 4 straight wins. All I want to do is get back to winning. It has been far too long and I am tired of watching this garbage Sean puts on TV every Sunday

Wasn't this season supposed to be different for the Saints? | NOLA.com

This excerpt pretty much summed it up "Rudderless Group"

The Saints' offense started with an efficient, effective balanced attack against a stout Vikings defense. It transformed into a rudderless group struggling to move the football once right tackle Zach Strief exited with a knee injury.

Yep and you know what extremely frustrating? Watching SP not adjust to the fact that we did not have the blocking for plays that take time to develop down the field and Brees kept getting 0 time. You could tell the Vikings thought we were going to bring heat and that was why they only threw quick passes to start the game. Then they switched it up and started going down the field.

I could tell our D wasn't the same as preseason right from the very start, when they got beat on 3rd down twice by the same exact play, a drag route.
Right before the snap, the entire LB and DB group were just pointing and shouting to each other like they didn't know their assignments.

But our "number 1 offense" refused to throw to anyone that wasn't a RB. We needed to take shots downfield, yet Payton force fed the ball to Kamara and AP.

No slants to MT. I counted one. One of the worst plays I saw was the swing pass to kamara...I mean I just looked like it was in slow mo wondering when are we going to throw him the ball.
