How do you see the first two games of the Saints’ season?

It was fun as heck and I thought we were a contender in the NFC.

Thoroughly enjoyed those two weeks.

The entire city (and Who Dat community everywhere) was abuzz with excitement about the ease at which we rolled to those first two victories. Even if Carolina & Dallas are as pitiful as everyone claims, they were beaten as soundly as you'd expect a true contender to dominate them.

With the injuries that followed, the lack of depth became apparent. When there were less injuries, we played the next two games with a legitimate chance to pull out victories in both. But as the ever-increasing list of key players on the injury report fell into the 'OUT' column, the team became less & less competitive.

What we have now is a team that is a mere shadow of what it was to start the season, and the lack of effectiveness at almost every position is evident. If anyone believes that our current Win/Loss record is the result of anything other than the depletion of so many starters on our active roster, then you don't know professional football as well as you think you do. Without all these injuries I can dare say that our record would be better than it is right now.
