Well, we were all excited for this season to start so the Saints could unleash vengeance upon the league, but it didn't quite work out that way as the Saints fell to the upstart Washington Redskins and their talented rookie QB, Robert Griffin III, 40-32.
I know it's painful, but choose a player of the game and then make the jump to check out the offensive stats, salve your wounds and discuss the 2012 season opening loss with your CSC comrades in the comment thread.
At this point, I'm not sure if there will be a post-game podcast, but check in with CSC throughout the afternoon to find out!
