Not to mention Carolina lost their key weapon in Greg Olsen to a broken foot. He is the one that always kills us.

Greg Olsen will not be missed.

I know better than this.
Some FB that no one has ever heard of smoked the Saints D last week.

Please don't act like it takes a player of Olsen's talent to "kill" the Saints D.

The running joke around here is that we don't want a starting QB to go down because a rookie always kills us.

Truth Time!!!!!!!

Any NFL talent that have Coordinators with a pulse, will "kill" the Saints.

It has been this way for five years.

This includes any opposing D Coordinator with half a brain.

Sean Payton in a bad coach right now.
He has been a bad coach for years now.

Nothing else makes sense.

Guess it's time to sell the TV and move to Peru.

For myself, I'm going to continue to expect a win every week. Anything else is not under my control. I can't wait until Sunday. The winning streak begins!

That's good for you. Do what makes YOU feel good. I don't see anything wrong with you holding out hope, but if this is how he feels so be it. Either counter his argument with facts or be quiet. Simply attacking a poster for what they posted doesn't offer anything constructive. It just comes across as *****ing and complaining. The board is here for people to let out their frustrations. Allow him to be a member of the board and do what he needs to do to feel better. You're not going to change how he thinks or feels by simply complaining about how he thinks or feels. If you don't have anything constructive to offer about what he thinks then maybe you should not say anything.

I agree. Minn has the 3rd best winning record at home and the Patriots are, well the patriots. So 0-2 is not a surprise. Now this team did absolutely NOTHING to prevent either of those losses, but if they can get in sync on both sides of the ball, they can get competitive. Not make a run, just get competitive.
Carolina lost Olsen, which is a huge advantage for us. If we are 2-2 going into the bye, which would be awesome,who knows. It's not time to throw in the towel yet.

As I said in other threads I think we took a baby step in the right direction. Sure my stomach turned but i was not grabbing the waste basket ever other play like in game 1.

What we are seeing on the field is how weak our bench is

I disagree on the depth part. On paper, we actually have quite a bit of depth at all positions except OL and DT. Especially compared to recent years. By this time we are usually scouring the free agent pool for LB's and DB's.

I agree also and was referring to the bench we are seeing on the field now.

If we go 2-4 or 1-5 through the first six we'll have to go 7-3 the rest of the way just to break even. We have the Panthers, Miami, Detroit and Green Bay the next 4 games.

Then in the final 10 we have Atlanta twice, Bucs twice and the Panthers once more.

I see us beating the Bears, Bills, Jets, Rams and maybe the Redskins and even beating these teams we would still have to win another 3 just to break even and while that could happen it probably won't get us into the playoffs but get us a draft pick that we always get, middle of the road.
