Get used to this, New Orleans Saints fans.

There will be more days like these in the future. A season of high-anxiety and high-wire finishes beckons. Make sure your libation of choice is within arm's reach on Sundays. This was only the first dip in what figures to be a roller-coaster season.

By now, you should have grown accustomed to heartbreakers like Sunday's 35-34 season-opening loss to the Oakland Raiders. This is the reality of life in the NFL's middle class. You win some, you lose some, and you suffer a lot along the way.
