I want to support this, and because I'm optimistic by nature I'm climbing on board this wagon with you, but it's a bumpy road and I hope I don't fall off...

Even if we did play "two of the better teams" in the league, we were not even competitive in either of those games. Those two teams had us beat by half time. Therefore, there is no justifying our bad start, we just have a bad team. 4 years of the exact same stats and same patterns do not lie.

The Vikings were a disappointing 8-8 in 2016.
The Pats were without key cogs on offense AND defense.

IMO, two very winnable games for the Saints. Enough with the excuses.

Find a way to beat Carolina at their house on Sunday.

It is good you don't think that. The unfortunate reality is the 1000+ yards tends to disagree with you.

Maybe that all changes.

What does that mean for us verse the Panties?

Sorry, but your logic is faulty. Read back through and you'll catch where you went wrong. At least I hope you do.

Fine. You give up and wallow in self pity. I'm going into this coming weekend excited and ready for a great run!

So you think we suck. Right? Well ... no matter how much you ***** and moan the next game will be what it is. For myself, I'm going into it just like every game for the last 50 years. We're going to win.

I know you though, before that game you will post at least 100 posts lamenting about everything that is wrong and how the franchise is doomed.

I love you, Spike!

I'll say this about the defense. -not so much as an excuse, but something to factor in all the minutiae of the miserable start...

We've got Delvin Breaux, Trey Hendrickson, Stephone Anthony, Ken Crawley out and are starting two rookies in Anzalone and Williams...

I like where we are now compared to the past three seasons at this time...

Thank you for posting what you think of me vs what the Saints have done, etc. or the fact that they have let up 1000 yards
