The Saints are gonna be ok

Everybody calm down. They're 1-1 now which is one game ahead of where they were last year at this time.  Most of us don't particularly care for the way they managed the clock at the end of that Browns game. But besides that, it was an entertaining stumble-fest between two teams trying to out-fail one another. And, really, that's pretty much what pro football is all about. 

In recent years, the Saints have been a prime example of the way NFL teams are treating the first two weeks almost as glorified preseason games. Late roster additions, lots of line-up shuffling, weird experiments with backup quarterbacks returning kicks, that sort of thing.  Cam Meredith hasn't even played yet. I think after week one, Payton said something about the defense to the general affect of, "We aren't sure the people playing are the people we should have playing yet."   We don't even know who is on this team yet, apparently.


Anyway, it's fine.  I just thought I'd poke in and say so here. Also I guess I wanted to mention this blog still does sports posts sometimes and should have more on all this stuff later in the week. I'm also treating this as late preseason.
