Is anger missing in the New Orleans Saints locker room?

Is it just me, or is there something missing? To be clear, I’m not second guessing the desire to won or the lack of care. After almost every game recently, there seems to be a programmed response without any real anger.

So the Saints are 0-2, Who Dat Nation can understand, that this is where we are. Yes, the games have been close. Yes, the Saints could easily be 2-0 if a few plays would have gone another way. And yes, the Saints have made a ton of moves in the last three weeks. Would it be too much to ask to see a little frustration though?

The Sean Payton post game pressers seem like watching Al Gore back in 2000. There is concern here, but don’t worry. Don’t worry? What happened to the fiery coach that used to blow gaskets on the sideline? Does anyone in the media have the stones to ask Sean Payton if 7-9 is good enough again this year? Should Who Dat Nation get risky tatoos on their foreheads that says 8-8? This season is almost over!

No way, no how the Saints can afford to drop another game anytime soon. Really, the 0-2 start is a disaster. Sure there’s some great strides made by our offense especially last week. Wow, if the Saints could have just made one more play then…No we are not the Cleveland Browns! This is not acceptable. Someone, anyone needs to come out and voice their fury soon. This ship is sinking fast.

So some of the players came out and said there’s no panic in the locker room. The team is still confident. Panic really? The Black and Gold are fish out of water gasping for air right now. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not seeing any signs of a sense of urgency. Staying calm right now doesn’t seem to be working. Hopefully, there are players behind closed doors throwing chairs or something. This could be three straight losing seasons. I vote no!

No, this is not Saints football. No, this is not what our goal is for this year. No is the answer. Who Dat Nation is not going to tolerate this willy nilly reactions after a loss. This is simply getting stale. Stale bread never tastes good. Hopefully, this week the Saints will come out angry and win this game. When Mark Ingram is running well, you know what they call him? They say “Angry Ingram is running well.” Being angry is OK. Anger is the emotion that this team is lacking. Let’s hope the faces are red and the steam is coming out of the ears on Sunday against the Falcons.
