I do have to say, the Saints do not have the same mentality from 2011,
Thats an understatement.......lmao
The Saints though often seem cursed on defense like we are with the Colts at times. Although we tend to have a few "good" players who we live and die off of and then we hope the rest around them can play at a level above high school.
Our special teams though have rocked lately. The Saints special teams cost them the win vs. the Giants.

Mickey Loomis has been the Saints GM for the past 16 years, and they've only had a decent defense in 4 of those years. That's 1/4th of his entire term.
I'm just going to call it a purgatorial time loop like one of those articles on that site called it.
We know ahead of time the defense is going to suck too...and now I get why. That article broke it down how hiring Rob Ryan was like an alternate universe version of Gregg Williams. Same thing for Dennis Allen, he was here in 2009...and nothing has changed. Our players are still undisciplined and draw pass interference and personal foul penalties as they push receivers down before the ball is even thrown.
If you want a laugh, just look at this

That's our players, literally whining about the refs on a legal catch. A CATCH, and they're looking for some excuse...
Saints fans can say what they want about Harper, Jenkins, Porter, all those old players we used to have; but those guys didn't run to the media and blame the refs after close losses. They accepted it and moved on...our guys, were brought up in a toxic environment and it clearly shows with lack of veteran leadership when they run to the media and blame the refs after every loss.
