There has been a lot of talk in recent days about what is “wrong” with the Saints and head coach Sean Payton, after a 3 game-losing streak that includes two back-to-back “beatdowns” in their last 2 games.

I’ve spent a lot of time in the last several days before making my debut here with the Big Easy Believer, trying to figure just what — if anything — is actually wrong with them (and him) or not.

First, the question has to be asked: Has anyone seen Sean Payton? Because from what I see, he seems to be MIA.

Yeah, there is that guy standing on the Saints sideline with his Saints sun visor chewing his beloved juicy fruit gum, but no that is not the Sean Payton we know.

The Sean Payton we know would never let one player on the the other team SCARE him into what in my opinion was one of the worst game plans since he has been with the Saints.

The Sean Payton we know would never shell out 16 million dollars to bring in one of the leagues most explosive playmakers, then hardly use him. No, that is not him.

The Sean Payton that we know is never afraid to do anything at any moment. He has an abundance of tricks up his sleeve each and every week to put points on the board and keep the defense on their toes.

The Sean Payton that we know, well, he just is not ok with mediocrity.

The Sean Payton we know used to keep defensive coordinators up all night because of his masterful offensive game plans.

I have an idea of what may of happened to him, but we’ll get to that later on.

We’ll start with what I am seeing now, first of which is……….
