Atlanta came to New Orleans for Monday night football and defeated the Saints. It was the 3rd straight loss of the new season for the Saints and the loss was larger than the score. The team is leaderless and looks like they feel they can win just by showing up. Like the first two games, Payton and Brees failed once more on their final offensive possession of the game and gave the football to Atlanta when they failed on 4th down.
The New England Patriots, playing with out quarterback Tom Brady for the third time won their 3rd game and have done so with two back up quarterbacks. Their coaching staff and team are still the most consistent team in the NFL and have been for years. The New Orleans sports writers continue to talk about Brees individual performance and records while the team keeps playing like a team in trouble.
Post game comments by Payton, Brees and some players are reruns of the past few years saying such things as: we are professionals; we are paid to win; we have to leave our ego at the door; we have to find a way to win and dig deep; we have to do our job, etc, etc and etc. It is past time for all the talk and time to walk the talk. It has turned into a sad situation for such highly paid professionals.
Bounty gate will forever haunt the Saints and the coaching staff until changes are made. And when that happens, you read it here in PolitiDose.
