With brutal slate ahead, Saints need street-fighter mentality for a puncher's chance

OK, so the Saints' season opener didn't turn out quite the way you expected.

You winced while watching Sam Bradford - Sam Bleepin' Bradford!?! - strafe the Saints' secondary for 346 yards and three touchdowns.

You sat incredulous as the defense lined up for its first snap of the season with only 10 men on the field. We New Orleanians are known for our hospitality, but that's taking it a little too far, isn't it?

You were ready to see the "new and improved" New Orleans Saints and found yourself staring at the same old, same old, or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
