Looks like not having preseason hurt us the most out of anyone in the league.

These phantom PIs have killed us!!!

Everyone didn't have a preseason, and unlike most teams both sides of the ball largely returned the same players for the Saints as last year.

There's zero reason for the Saints to look this bad.

This season feels just like 2014. We go in with high expectations cuz we'd done well the previous year and just keep finding ways to lose. Yeah, the refs did fix this one but we've bungled so many stupid things that I'm beginning to wonder if the refs even had to fix this for GB to win. 3-5 at midseason may be our upside.

 

[El Caliente]

When the team plays like a bunch of retards trying to screw a door knob it’s easy for the refs to screw the team with bad penalties.

 

[Broad St. Saint]

People keep saying it’s not the refs, last 2 weeks penalty yardage 212-23. Nearly 2 football fields difference. That is absolutely unexplainable.

there are only two explanations.

saints are unprofessional.

refs are unprofessional.

 

[SystemShock]

He fired Rob Ryan midseason. If they're this inept week after week, what else do you do?

Probably because Rob Ryan talked back.

Bucs have a great chance to be the NFCS winners... their defense is legit

 

[NMS]

this game is on Sean.

 

[Devildog]

I have been a brees apologist, but after tonight, between him only throwing about three passes past 5 yards and our secondary...I realize this team is not going anywhere.

Yeah, Brees is totally the reason we lost this game.

/s

 

[Lustmord]

How has this defense taken such a colossal step back to 2014? I mean the ref and penalties suck, but man it's painful to watch

 

[SaintsIn2009]

This is a great game ruined by the refs. How can anyone be upset at the Saints when 4 of the 8 penalties were bogus phantom crap calls. Seriously, 3 PIs and missed OPI. Insane when the refs take control of a game and there isn’t anything you can do about it

 

[Gump]

That’s a surprise

 

[HouseCall]

I am not so sure the Saints even make it to the playoffs this year.

I don’t think that’s a stretch to say that. This is not a very good team and even with the extra playoff spot, the NFC West is stacked. We won’t limp into a 7 seed at 8-8.

 

[BooBirdSaint]

You ball against the Saints, you get the call so says everyone... And Refs

 

[gavinj]

Gonna be tied with the Panthers and one game up on the worst Falcons team of all time. This party is over.

Jordan doesn't look like he's in as good shape this season. He's bigger. It's noticeable. He's probably been the most disappointing player on the team so far.
