Out of sheer boredom, game by game breakdown 2005

.. I'll tell you.. right out of the gate @ Carolina is one of those games that can set the tone for your season for a myrad of reasons...

.. first, the emotions are going to be high, with the passing of Mills and Mark Fields' condition. Side note: sad to see that Mills' passing means nothing to our current Saints.. I digress...

..then you have the Panthers (most likely) at full force, remembering who put them out of the playoffs last year...

..and I would not want to be Aaron Brooks on 9/18 should the Panthers win and should Jake have a better game...

..lastly, a bad loss, and I don't mean scorewise, but those losses when you get your butt manhandle, could really hurt the psyche of the players, should they be still "riding the wave" of last season's finale. I surely hope the coaches are stressing that 2004 was 2004, and that this is a new season...

... I want the Saints to win the game, but I don't expect them to... I just hope that it is one of those close games that build up for the next one..
