C’mon Widge. Take the black and gold glasses off. The Saints aren’t a good team. Good teams find ways to win, and bad teams don’t. The Saints are average at best.
I didn't say they were a good team. They are a team with a very good defense and an offense that without McCoy is below average. So, they can't afford to make dumb mistakes like the ones that Shaheed and Carr made today. Of course that's true of most NFL teams. The Saints like most of the NFL are an average team that can't afford dumb mistakes or they lose. They are what their record says they are, a .500 team.
So, yes, relax, it's not all doom and gloom. This was always going to be a team that hovers around .500 with a couple breaks they could win 10 and with a couple things that go against them they could lose 9 or 10. So, if people expected this to be a 12 or 14 win team with a shot at the Super Bowl after the first 2 weeks, they needed to relax, and if people think this is a terrible football team that's can't possibly make the playoffs after the last two weeks then they need to relax too.
