It is already a long season for the Who Dat Nation. Four games into it, and not a single win for the New Orleans Saints, even though they came the closest yet in a one-point defeat at Lambeau Field Sunday. And Monday morning, some fans said the Saints did look much-improved.
"I thought they did good," said one man, until that "heartbreaking" ending, as he called it.
"We was gonna get that win yesterday!" another fan said. "I thought sure we had it."
But others regressed to old Who Dat habits long dormant:
"It looked all right, but I didn't think so," said another.
"I really didn't watch the end of it" said another fan who admitted changing channels rather than see her Saints go down to defeat one more time. "I'm very disappointed."

We don't know the numbers, but he took a pay cut, and they added a year to his contract. I'm told the new deal has less guaranteed money.
