Unfortunately Streif and Bushrod are too bad to win with, unless the defense is a GOOD one...

Find it hard to believe that without the emotional drain that this offseason was, and without the loss of coach payton we are still 0-2, but we'd still have very real issues on the oline that Nicks helped mask, and that aging is taking the little skill from streif and bushrod they had away.

Goodell personally responsible for making this year no fun, but we'd have had to have been Giants-type lucky to win it all this year.

Have to hope to stumble across some very REAL talent at OT and at SS if we are to try to extend the "golden era" of saints football for a few years after this year.

This year is a lost cause-- a LOT like 2007 was for us... too many self-inflicted wounds, too many outside distractions, and too many REAL problems (OT and sucky secondary) to overcome.

We'll be fun to watch in a few games, but I seriously doubt we feel we are true CONTENDERS at any point in this season--at least to the extent that we enjoyed the last 3 years--and THIS without really very many injuries!!

Where has Colston gone? (Drew doesn't get time)
Where does Graham go for 2.5 quarters in the middle of the game?
Where are these LBers that are going to "save" our run defense, taking away the most repeatable way to beat the Saints?

We can't protect Drew. We cant stop the run, we can't generate pressure, and we have no leader on the sidelines. We are 0-2, with both losses against the NFC.

Yeah, I know this is some serious venting, but unfortunately I think its painfully accurate.

Maybe the Interim GM and interim coaching staff can pull off a trade of one of our RBs for a decent OT, and we can still turn this around... then again, maybe we'll win one of these games where we're down 15 with less than 3 minutes to play and need miracles...THE EFFING GIANTS ALWAYS SEEM TO GET THEM!
