re: Excitement Level for this Season

The saints are like a battleship that has been though many battles and instead of doing full repairs and upgrades. We have been patching and adding were we can to keep up performance in battles, but we aren't winning as much because we lost our big gun.

We have most of the parts and pieces to be a great team. Teams are rarely lucky enough to have a HOF anything. We had Brees/Payton Brees retired and Payton is past his prime....until we get more creative (looking at you DA/Kubiak) and we have some special players, we aren't going to be better than a 9-10 win team.

All of this is fine with me... we need to clear out some debt and be able to plan for the future. I am happy that we arent doing it all at once and at least trying to put forward a somewhat quality team while we plan/work on the future Saints.
