Saints vs Packers

AsylumGuido · 09-26-2020, 01:56 PM

Does anyone here realize that we are only two games into a season with no off-season activities at all and having lost our top offensive weapon for a couple of games and still up one full game in our division?

Then again, I can go back to our post second game threads from the past three years and read the same sort of doom and gloom posts as I see above and by many of the same members.

I said the same thing back then that I'm saying now.

Just relax and wait and see. We'll challenge for the #1 seed after winning our forth straight NFC South title. The defense will gel. The offense will click.

I'm still optimistic but we sure don't look like contenders on the field.

And how large a sample have we seen? You can expect the first several games by all teams to be basically preseason even more than the last few years with the practice cutbacks via the CBA's. How many others games have you seen? I've seen much of most. There's not many teams looking like contenders yet.

I only watch the Saints and will watch the competition so I'm knowledgeable about our opponents. Nonetheless, from what I've read they are playing crisply like we thought we were going to be before we imploded. 2-0 vs 1-1 team that barely squeaked by doesn't inspire confidence. Don't get me wrong I still believe and I'm optimistic but I'm not as optimistic as I was listening to the media hype us up.

There is no doubt that we look sloppy and sluggish.
