Yes they be...my Saints have had issues since game 1....The offense is asleep, the D is in need of a makeover...small DB's are thing of the past. Why the O game plan has not been including Graham till late in the games is beyond me...ohh and it is time to see about cashing in on Ingram for some D players. The Ingram project is done.... Although if they can get back on track they still can win the NFC South, 9 or 10 wins might get it. Saints sux right now...

Was there a large turnover on the defensive side of the ball? Because that D could be pretty fierce last year. They don't seem to have retained any of the toughness, tackling ability, or talent they had last year.

AAnd of course, they should have never given up sproles, esp for a sh*t round draft pick.

But good point at the end there...the south is wide open and all four teams have holes everywhere.

Good to see some life from Aaron Rodgers. Also good to see the Patriots become more of a non factor. Sea Hawks have a bi week, little early in the season but its all good.

Good Lord!  Thursday night games are proving to be hideous, half time is 28 - 0.  Not really pulling for either team, just want to see a good game.  Seems the NFL marketing money machine is starting to take a turn....

I don't know if i'd go that far with the last statement. Obviously tons of commercial $$$ still being made and tickets wise the stadiums seem to be doing well, at least from the TV view.

But true about them being terrible to watch. JJ's point is a good one...divisional games I think are the way to go...those games can be complete toss ups, given a full complement on both sides. I don't think this game would have been as bad if Ponder didn't have to start. But GB still should've had it.

Next week has a similar potential with Indy @ Houston. The good news is it isn't in Indy where Houston is yet to win, so it may be close somewhere in there.

I'm glad I'm mostly a fan of New Orleans for fantasy reasons. If I was a true fan I'd be pretty upset with eking out a victory over the Yucs.

Also, detriot fans, I suggest you flood management with requests to sign Prater immediately.

Trust me, it's at the top of our wish lists right now, along with a new O line.  Six sacks is unacceptable.  I went from a perfect Sports Sunday last week to a terrible one today.

Glad to see the Pats finally show up this season.

The News has reported that Henery drove into the Detroit River on his way out of town... Yes folks, he was wide right.

Holy crap, I just laughed out loud!

I'm hoping they get somebody that wasn't a throwaway somewhere else, aside from Prater (his drinking issues).

I just saw that Connor Barth, Prater, and Jay Feely are being worked out by the team.

Prater is obviously the choice out of those IMO.

Surprising, the Detroit O line has been one of the best pass blocking in recent years. Have there been changes? Or just a bad game or 2? They have played some tough defenses.
