How do we go about finding enjoyment the rest of the season?

I hate losing and I think we are going to see a lot of that.

The offense this past Sunday puttered off of once Taysom went out.

The right side of the line kept getting blown up.

We don't have a pass rush to speak of.

The defense can be called mostly good but has a knack of giving yards when the game is on the line.

These injuries are unbelievable and will more than likely prevent them for putting out a quality product.

I can’t speak for “we”, but I only get a couple saints games a year. I’m going to enjoy them.

I had no expectations for this team coming into the year, but they’ve definitely shown flashes of being relatively good. I’m going to stay optimistic we eventually get healthy and see that product again.

We will win Monday and that will kickstart a nice little winning streak for us.

Book it!

Everyone is in complete meltdown mode after 2 losses in a row but lets keep in mind that we could just as easily be sitting at 4-0 if the defense made plays on the last drive. Against two teams that will be in or fighting for the playoffs

The game plan was obviously very heavy on Taysom. They started moving the ball in the 2nd half once they had time to make adjustments

no arguement here. The right side was fricking horrendous

This may have been the most frustrating aspect other than shaheeds fumble. The D line could not get any pressure whatsoever on two back up lineman

worst part is you knew it was coming. I feel like an all out blitz on every play would have given us a better chance at keeping them from a long play or PI

injuries suck but if you look around the league every team is going through the same thing. Luckily, so far, none of ours seem to be season ending.

The last two games have not been enjoyable games. I know injuries happen and its the NFL, so anyone can beat anyone, but the games are just not fun to watch. The only encouraging thing is the next two games end the hardest part of our schedule. Unfortunately, we can very easily be 2-4 at the end of it and the season would already be lost.

well, I didn't have them really doing shite this season anyway, and while that 2 game anomaly happened to start the year, i decided to remain cautious about getting too carried away about it...

basically, they are still very much on track for the 6-7 wins i figured they'd have this season

I think if life is better when not watching then do that. If life is better watching then do that.

ask yourself this: are we the Browns?

did we win a Super Bowl?

the Saints won a Super Bowl and are not the Browns, so it’s all gravy from here on out bro.
just relax enjoy watching football before the sport is inevitably banned in this country

you are welcome

Remember that every loss is one day closer to finally getting rid of that idiot, Allen, and smile.

But then you realize that Loomis is still there, so...

I honestly think we've gone too far negative. We could easily be 4-0 and should be 3-1.

We have a 50/50 shot to beat the Chiefs on MNF. They are about as banged up as we are, and we match up very well with them.

Let's see how we feel after that game and/or after Tampa.

When it gets to the 2 Minute Warning, turn the channel to the Home Shopping Network and make yourself a sandwich.
Fifteen minutes later - look at the scores on NFL Channel or ESPN and, as expected, be prepared to knowingly laugh derisively and sarcastically.

I was thinking 0-4 to begin with so 2-2 ain’t that bad. It sucks that injures are a thing, especially after seeing what a healthy team could do, but that’s just part of it. I truly believe, even with the injuries the Saints can go into KC and come out with a win.

I feel like the offense is way better than before because there is a commitment to the run like we haven't had in a few years.

The passing game around the league is n't like it once was and I feel like some teams are trying to go back to running the ball more.

I'm not sure our defense is built to be a good run stop unit though. It's kind of a bugaboo in my opinion the last few seasons.

To me the defensive line isn't as consistent as it needs to be rushing the passer. I would still take our defense over a bunch of others. Don't get me wrong but it is flawed.

Other than Shaheed muffing The punt the other day. Special teams play has been very reliable so far. Hopefully that continues.

The defense is kind of falling apart at the end of the game because number one they can't get a rush on the quarterback and number two. The man-to-man coverage has a breakdown for whatever reason.

Still 2-2 but nothing about that schedule really gets me fired up looking at the rest of it.
