Well, Rattler sucks, so there is not much reason to be excited.

I don't understand such excitement for one over the other.

I'm excited that football in general is returning. This is likely going to be a rough season, so it's hard to get excited about the Saints when my expectations are basically zero. I'll cook good food and make the most out of the 17 weeks of Saints football.

My issue with this is that it seems like there is a component of this decision that should not be there. There is a segment of the fanbase that is very loud that wants Rattler, and it seems like they are starting Rattler that way when he struggles they can say “see this is why drafted Shough”. Then put Shough in afterwards.


Kellen Moore would not risk his career to appease the fanbase. Rattler is starting because the coach believes that is his best chance to win. The offensive line is bad right now. Hopefully they play better as the season goes.
If the offense is stagnant, they will make a change.

The strength of this team is defense(although I do worry about the corner back play) If we have a chance in the 4th quarter to win games it will be because of the defense. I'm excited about that.

The Saints will have to avoid turnovers to beat the Cardinals but it is a very winnable game. Saints beat the Cardinals then the 49ers game also becomes very winnable.

I'm flying down from Denver for the game. I'm excited. Do I expect the Saints to be a very good team? No. Am I ready for Saints football? Absolutely.

Are people really thinking Arizona & Seattle aren't winnable games? Not saying we will win, or should even be favored, but they are not what I would call "brutal".


I think it just shows just how little pundits, Vegas, etc think of our chances this year. Our roster is not highly regarded at all nationally. Hell even some of the local shows here in Florida mention us in passing like “at least we’re in better shape than the saints.”

The Saints sucked. Dennis Allen sucked. You think we are worse than last year? I don't care if we win 5 games or 3 games we are better off but rattler will have to be completely dogshit to not get a win in 3 weeks.

IMO, every single Rattler rep is a wasted rep. It is either Shough or its whoever we draft in the top 5 next year. Rattler is a poor man's Chase Daniel.

Shough isn't ready dummy. You know so much why aren't you coaching the Saints?
