We passionate Who Dats have short memories. Sean Payton has won very few opening games since 2013. But I'll take this back a few years to show all to forget the loss and to know this team is good, probably really good.
Everyone knows we have gone 13-3, 13-3 and 11-5 over the past 3-years and below is how the team starts under SP:
2020 - Loss to Raiders, 1st Road game
2019 - Loss to a bad Rams team by 18 points, 1st road game
2018 - Loss to Bucs in season opener in the Dome
2017 - Loss 1st 2 games by 10 points or more. Vikes on the road, Pats in the Dome
2016 - Loss to Raiders in 1st game at the Dome and Giants in 2nd game on the Road
This is almost a ritual for us Who Dats to freak out in the beginning of the season. In retro, I think this is just how SP gets his teams ready. He wants his team's on fire coming into the playoff and every year there are these bizarre No-Show losses in the beginning of the year.
I want to be concerned about Brees accuracy and arm strength, the destruction of Malcom Jenkins, the coronation of TE Waller, but when I step back and see how SP teams start, it's all good and we are headed to the playoffs again. Simply, this is just normal
