Saints don’t deserve this man. This is so sad. Rip to all the homies 

Yes they do. Their owners paid for the catholic church legal defense for child molestation charges. 

$62M of legal fees paid for by the Bensons.

Announcers comparing Nix to Elway and Brees are just setting him up to get ridiculed.

Almost like the Panthers and Cowboys just aren't good.

The Saints honored Drew Brees at halftime and are playing their old coach... if that doesn't fire them up to win this game, you have to wonder what will.

We just didn't know how how bad the Cowboys truly were at the time.

Having their starting QB and WRs?

Sean Payton is in his Mike Tomlin era, dude just finds a way to grind out ugly wins.

It's one of Bo's redeeming traits in that he doesn't take sacks or turn it over (usually). This allows our defense to grind out wins...it's the reason Russ last year for us ended up losing games. Turns out 3-8 yrd losses end up as drive killers

Saints need to really start a rebuild.  They could get a mid round pick for Kamara and Lattimore.  I am not sure if there is much that has value beyond those 2.  Certainly a decision on Olave needs to happen in the next year on whether he is worth handing a big contract to on a rebuilding team.  

Pretty wild considering they were looking like the greatest offense in the first 2 games.

This is fair. But I kept saying, "The cowboys just aren't good this year on defense." and no one believed me.

I suspect most of us were going "??" at how quiet they were in free agency and mostly ignored the so-called skill positions in general, but still expected a competitive team.

I hope the Saints score a TD just to give the sad Saint fans in the stands SOMETHING to cheer about.
