What I don't get is this...

[Guest DrewBreesIsGod]

No BS...I remember reading an SI before last year's season. You guys were picked to go 12-4 and make a run in the playoffs. How do you go from that to the current situation so fast? It amazes me how tight the fine line of pro sports is....

JR (owner) wanted to cut as much salary with the upcoming CBA expiring. We let go, cut, traded many veterans and now we have one of the youngest teams in the league. Combine that with a coach who has used the exact same play book for the last 6 years and here we are. Enjoy your W this week

[Gazi]

Did you see how many rookies were on Offense yesterday?

[Guest DrewBreesIsGod]

who else besides Jake did you let go? I didn't realize some vets had been cut.

As far as this week..have you seen our D? You might run for 300 on us.

[usmcpanthers]

just like how you guys went from poo to super with brees

[YourMomsLover]

I believe a lot of folks had high expectations for the players we drafted..and they haven't produced

[Fan4life]

Average 4 turnovers per game, Only scoring one TD per game.

Saints' 46 Panthers 12, Enjoy

Qb and 2nd WR play went way down.

[The Saltman]

Tampas run d is atrocious and we didnt set any rushing records, so I wouldnt worry Drew.

[CLTPanther]

We may run up the yardage on you guys this week, but I'm not counting on it. Our O-line went to poo somehow. We are missing a pro bowl RT and Gross suddenly couldn't block Betty White.

[Delhommey]

Same thing happened with Tampa. They went from tied for the NFC South to collapse to picking second in the draft in an eyeblink.

While not "great" players:

Jake

Hoov

Moose

Harris

Davis

etc.

being gone was/is going to make for some tough times.

[CLTPanther]

I think the loss of Davis hurts the worst. I still hope he isn't stupid enough to try to come back in November. Maybe he'll be okay by some miracle. I just hope his career doesn't get ended because of it.
