6 concerns moving forward

Just so no one can say that Lattimore struggling in camp was "made up news"

Lattimore played like a top-five cornerback last year, but he struggled a bit in training camp. The assumption was that most cornerbacks struggle against Michael Thomas and that Lattimore would turn it on once the games began.

Thomas is a fantastic receiver, but he was embarrassing Lattimore in camp, this wasnt Thomas just being great, this was Lattimore regressing whilst Thomas was being great. If you watch their one on ones, Lattimore was getting nowhere near Thomas and could barely stay on his feet half the time. Drank too much kool aid?

Typical sophomore slump. He thought he had the league figured out. Now he has to learn how to train and prepare like an NFL player and not rely on natural talent.

Defense. Drew's health. Panthers just somehow win. Defense. Kamara's workload. Defense.

If we would have played the Cowboys (like Carolina), would we be having this conversation.
The Saints totally unestimated Tampa and it showed.

Guido insisted it didn’t happen and he wasn’t struggling because nobody posted a link although it was common knowledge.

Yeah, just gloat. Makes you happy, huh? Let's just cut the guy. I can just imagine the smug smile upon your face because the Saints suck, right? Already smugly calling a sure loss next week I see, too. Since the season is already lost in your mind why don't you just move on somewhere else?

This is not a very positive post.
Yet again you confuse criticism with the desire for the Saints to lose.

No, I think you actually wish they lose so you can prove yourself right. You are the person that bet me $20 that the Saints wouldn't win seven games last season. I learned a long time ago from a successful gambler that you only bet on what you WANT to happen to ever come out on top.

I would hope you have heard of the term "constructive criticism"? It comprises of contributing with what might be done in a positive manner that would make the end product better. All I have ever seen from you is total negativity and then relishing in the fact in anything or any outcome that would support your negative input.

Listen, Dude, you recently got banned for a blatant racist post. What do you do? You come back with a blatant sexist post prefacing it with the fact that you say it isn't such. Dude, you can't be that dense.

All you seem to do is deride the Saints in one way or another. Sure, there has been that one token post out of every 100 that seems to be somewhat supportive, but that is obviously not the way you roll.
