CSP just refuses to evolve as a playcaller. Same tired crap every drive. If I as just some guy can tell what he'll call before he calls it, I know damn sure every football coach from JV on up in the entire country does.

All offseason, fans clamor for more runs and a more balanced attack. We get more runs and do ok moving the ball until Strief goes out. If we get TDs on those first 2 drives and don't lose Strief, it's a totally different game.

Losing Snead hurt us more than I think that any of us expected. He makes a huge difference in the game as well because he is a big weapon in the intermediary routes. We did not have that in our offense at all tonight.

We were in the red zone 5 times and inside the 5, 4 times. We have to get TDs there and not settle for FGs. That issue can be corrected.

You do realize that this is the youngest team in the NFC South in average age and that includes Brees who is old as shite to bring our average up. We will experience growing pains. This may be the season that bucks the trend of having to start strong early due to our youth. We have 3 rookies on D and 2 on O starting. That's not counting the fact that PJ Williams has all of 6 quarters of game experience.

When CSP called for the 4th quarter FG down 17 in the red zone, I said, "he's been neutered."

Yep that was a pussy move. Kept it a 3 score game after the Vikings field goal.

That's how the coach can blame the team instead of his play calll. If he goes for it and whiffs, he gets blamed for the call. If he plays safe and goes for easy pts, then saints can't come back, he doesn't get blame for the call.

Lost his balls.

amen, you said it......

Well, Drew's contract is up this year, so........

It was a terrible loss, not the end of the world or your life, the overreaction is a little over the top right now. They are gonna win and lose some games, lots of young guys with short memories, brees will play better with more snaps now; none of these guys on d have played together. I wouldn't expect the team to turn into world beaters, but it's not time to burn the world down.

15 more games in the season, haters gonna get tired

EXACTLY......

Saints aint shite and havent been shite for years

this opener tonight was really disappointing.

I admit.. I took the cheese on the D from the preseason but as the game went on tonight.. it was clear they still have some of the same ole issues on that side of the ball.

the offense faced a good Vikings D but Strief's injury could end up being a big blow. Hopefully Snead will make a difference when he gets back. If Brees has to check down all the time to Kamara and Ingram its fixin' to be a long year.
