Say What? Sept. 28 — Oct. 4

"It's been a while since we felt that, but three years ago, we were 0-2. A little bit of a gut check, and yet we aren't playing well enough. Let's not fool ourselves. We're making too many mistakes. We aren't playing disciplined enough on both sides of the ball. That's really just the truth. You're frustrated as a coach because that starts with us. We have to do a better job. We have to get ready to play a better game against Detroit." — Saints coach Sean Payton
