If you look at the Saints previous season records. They are a very streaky team. Personally I didn't expect a huge year out of them.

OK maybe not streaky, but have been mostly an average team. Their D is pretty weak, and the Offense has no rhythm

Let's look at the teams that the Saints have lost to so far...The Colts are the Super Bowl champs. The Titans nearly beat the Colts in week 2 and look to be one of the NFL's up and comers. The Saints have been beaten by two strong teams that will be playoff contenders. The only game they've lost so far that they should've won was against Tampa Bay. Being in a weak NFC conference, New Orleans still has a chance to turn it around.

Last year they were fresh from scratch. A new mastermind at coach, drafted Bush, acquired Brees, hit the jackpot in the draft with Colson. Now teams have 16 game films of them to study from last year and are now preparing better for their offensive scheme.

That's what I think too. They started watching espn, reading the newspaper and doing commercials, and forgot that they still had to go out there and play football. Plus, when you start signing free agents, like Jason David, and David Patten you start to lose chemistry with your teammates. Take it from me, I'm a Redskins fan.

what happened? Staring the season with 2 road games doesn't help. They can still turn it around but it's going to be a steep hill.

the reason they are losing is because they were not handing the ball off enough to deuce mcalister who is now injured so basically the playoffs is out of the hands of New Orleans, who hasnt won in 6 games when Deuce hasnt had atleast 20 carries

Payton is not a good coach and now it shows
He was a scab QB on one of the strikes and caught up to his demeanor
