Official Game Day Thread

[diabsoule]

I had this sick gut feeling that we would lose and sure enough... Our defense just played terrible. There are no other words to describe it than that. We sucked in all aspects of the D. Hopefully this year we'll be able to add some impact players in free agency and be able to draft some guys who will see the field.

On a positive note, Pierre Thomas had his coming out party today and I think he did very well. I think he still needs a couple more years of experience but he looks like he will be a stud someday, hopefully for us. Usama Young looked promising, but it also looked like he needed to see the field more.

Well, here's to next season. Cheers.

Week Three: Saints @ Broncos

Big game. We usually win games that I think we're gonna lose and lose games where we should win, but.. this game.. eek.

Go Saints!

This might be the game to get Jeremy Shockey jumpstarted, tight ends usually do well against the Broncos because of their SLBs and safeties.

[saintsfan912]

Agreed. Shockey is gonna have to come up big Sunday.

Is it just me or does Brees hang alot of guys out to dry when he hangs those swing passes in the air so damn high?

[CJSchneider]

He does, LOL.

In other Saints news:

Saints sign Harrington

[NOLAFan]

Damn Saints, you fail me again. We had what is thought to be an automatic 3-points but no the damn kicker screws us over.

I will say it wasn't just the kicker, our D was horrid.

Ugh Top-15 pick here we come.

[saintsfan912]

So does anybody else think we will be drafting a HB/CB with our first 2 picks?

And Mike McKenzie looked pretty good considering this was his first action in a year. Glad to have him back.

And why doesn't Jason David just retire? He knows he's a terrible corner and everybody in NO hates him, why stay?

[NOLAFan]

I can see a CB. I don't think they are ready to give up on Bush just yet, and when they do give up on him i think they turn to Thomas.

Why didn't they atleast give Deuce a few carries? I don't understand that.

[saintsfan912]

I'm not talking about Bush, I love him. I just think he needs a compliment and that guy could be Scott, Beanie, or another one of the big bruisers.

[Geo]

Why didn't they atleast give Deuce a few carries? I don't understand that.

This is just my thought, but Deuce is past his prime imo. I don't even know why the Saints have him on the roster, my guess is they were thinking with their hearts instead of their heads. Noble, but not very helpful to the football team.

But hopefully the haters who probably didn't even watch this game like most all Saints game can keep telling us that Reggie Bush is a bust. You know, because a bust can make plays that few if any other backs can make, when he has the opportunity.

[NOLAFan]

Oh ok. So basically a Thunder to his Lightening? Yeah i would like that but i don't think they will do that in the next draft,pending on what happens this season of course.

Yeah Deuce may be past his prime, but Thomas and Bush weren't doing anything, atleast they could do is send Deuce in and see what he could do.

I really liked Bush tonight, he was making many stupid mistakes, besides that damn fumble. If he could play like that all the time i would atleast be pleased with him.

The problem is our offensive line. Outside of Jahri Evans and Jammal Brown our offensive line is very lackluster. I see them getting absolutely zero push in the run game, which is where we need help the most. Jon Stinchcomb is garbage and so is Jamar Nesbit.

And I'm finally starting to warm up to Reggie as he seems to be following his open field blocking more.

[wicket]

I'd like to have a bruiser back just like the before mentioned scott, however the main worry for me is our secondary, its great to see porter developing a bit but mckenzie is becoming old and we need another safety as well. Also the olb are a bigger need in my book than a bruiser.

Yup.

Funny, even Reggie's biggest critics are starting to see it. I'd love to say Reggie is the problem and just find a RB to fill the void, that would be a hell of a lot easier than building 60% of an offensive line.

Hopefully we can still make some real noise this season, but it would be nice to see Nicks get in there, but we really need another mauler. Duke Robinson anyone? I heard something like he hasn't allowed a tackle from the guy he is assigned to in each play in like 4 of the last 6 games.

I don't think it's coincidence that all the top running backs each year play behind stellar lines.

[Flyboy]

That was a tough loss to swallow. Ugh.
