Geez, it seems like you guys are disappointed we didn't lose.

near as I can tell, 'haps many in the Who Dat Nation are cautiously optimistic as we must consider quality of opponent. I understand that a win is a win is a win but could the quality of opponent not also be playing a factor in the rather subdued response

to this W?

I enjoyed the game of course but I think I would put myself squarely in that camp!

Who Dat!!!

The quality of opponent argument doesn’t hold water in my opinion. When you are down 6 pro bowl starters including the best receiver in the league, lose two more to injury during the game, and still have a pretty dominant showing it says a lot about your team.

It could also say a lot about your opponent.

Why are you down that many players? Bad draft picks?

No, not at all. Lack of almost everything preparatory to the season beginning was eliminated. It’s not just the Saints, lots of big names on IR across the league.

I agree with the exception of Davenport. And Peat. And Armstead.

Really, isn't these same guys hurt year in and year out and SP keeps giving them more money 🙄

Think you beat a not very good team and maybe the score being that close was less than reassuring.

Regardless of the opponent, 3quan Smith is making plays for this team ... again.

Serve me up with a plate of crow because now I see a guy getting open, making tough catches in traffic and winning a high percentage of his one on one match ups.

Congrats to Smith on the WIN & another solid performance.

Keep grinding.
