Just before kickoff, the familiar chant went up from the plaza to the terrace, lusty and defiant and just a tad liquored up on Hurricanes:
“Who dat? Who dat? Who dat say they gonna beat dem Saints?”
Six years ago, it was former LSU and Cowboys linebacker Bradie James who offered a stinging retort after Dallas stopped the Saints’ 13-0 start cold with a 24-17 win.
“Who dat?” James asked mockingly. “We dat!”
That was a different time.
Sunday night, the Saints were a far different team.
The Saints came in 0-for-2015, not having even won in the preseason, 0-3 when the games really count.
