Saints QB Drew Brees says those on the outside may think they're in a "crisis." Those people, he says, are wrong. Brees said the Saints expectation level was much higher than their 1-4 start, and they miss the game-planning and presence of suspended coach Sean Payton, whom he calls "one of the best offensive minds in the league." The bounty-gate scandal, which has been a distraction and sparked several suspensions and lawsuits, still lingers. But New Orleans, coming off its bye week and first win of the season against the Chargers, enters Sunday's matchup with the Bucs ready for a turnaround. "You start like that and you just go, 'Man, this is not what we all anticipated or expected," Brees said. "Yet you know, hey, life is going to throw that at you sometimes. I think the whole way we just have always felt like is as long as we do things the right way, good things are going to happen to us. We are going to catch a break." Source: Tampa Bay Times
