What do fans of other teams think of the Saints' shocking start?

Payton play called them out of today's game. Should've fed Ingram and the other RB's considering they were gashing them. They just get too pass happy at times.

Wasn't surprised with a loss against the Falcons considering how close those games are usually.

I am shocked at the D's struggles this year.

It's the defense or lack there of. The offense still moves the ball, might move it better if Sproles was still there, but the defense had some catastrophic event(s) this offseason I guess.

Roman Harper plays for the Panthers now, I'll ask him what happened.

It's somewhat surprising, but I wouldn't say "shocking." It's difficult to win on the road in the NFL.

Their defense has been very shocking though.

Their idiot fans deserve a shite season.

That being said.... I think they'll bounce back.

FWIW, I picked the Browns in my office pick 'em

I don't think it's all that shocking. I expected the defense to fall off, as a lot of defenses do following a great year with a new D coordinator. I think they get it together and get 8-9 wins and are fighting for a wild card spot going into the last week of the season

They'll be fine. They're so strong at home, that gives them 6-8 wins. Then just win a couple on the road, and likely get a WC spot

I think they were a top 4 team in the NFC coming in, but the hype was very excessive. I acknowledge their improvement on defense last yr, but they were the worst in the league the yr before....basically the top 5 ranking last year was misleading imo and they have come back down to earth!! the Byrd signing was ridiculously overstated, his contract will kill them down the road.

But the addition of Cooks is huge and Brees gives them a chance to win every game. They should run the ball more obviously. I still expect the Saints to kick arse in the Dome and be a playoff contender, but their struggles on the road are obviously still an issue...even though Seattle lost today I still think they are a shoe in for the 1 seed which eliminates just about any possiblity of the Saints getting to the SB...but they still win 10 games

Seattle
SF
Carolina
GB
Saints
Philly is how i rank em right now

Sean Payton's ego is the size of a small barn.

Rob Ryan isn't as good a defensive coordinator as y'all thought. Payton was getting in his arse today too. That was funny.

I'm surprised by how porous their defense has been but honestly it's not shocking they're 0-2.....it's pretty much what I expect of them, absolute juggernaut at home but very ordinary once they get out of the comfort of their dome. I still expect them to run the table at home and steal a couple road games and finish 10-6 or so

We had the best road record in the NFL from 2009 through last year.

Think we were second since 2006
