They’re not going after any QBs. Little man is ‘in’.
-
I guess we fans are allowed to look forward past this week’s game. Players better not be or it might not matter much.
-
so yea... the um Saints.... how do we beat them this time?

Saints are 1-5 in the Dome. They beat the NYG who Tankathon has in the top pick ahead of LV by slightly weaker SOS. The Saints’ win, cost them that top spot. They would be in the 1.1 right now. They aren’t good. I think show up and pass block because we are going to have to throw. Running a pass first plan with Bryce is risky as hell but they will likely stack the box again and force us to punt a lot or take some shots. OL really needs to keep their pass blocking straight. -

17 games with the kind of load where you gain over 200 yards a game even half the time there isn’t a back who won’t get beat down and that not show up on the field. I think the best answer is keep the OL strong enough for regular guys to run for gains. Let people sign our one year wonders to the bigger deals and just reload. The only real inhibitor there is pass blocking. You have to have guys that are decent at it. -

I asked in Person’s mail bag last season about who did the Texas surgery and who did the 2nd one and he never addressed it. Now there is finally something. Glad a different surgeon was used. And I disagree that he should not have been used last year. If he hadn’t we probably don’t have Dowdle, and are surprised when the knee fails - which it was going to do if it wasn’t right. So we tested his knee last year and found out what we had, and had no 2025 surprises. That was the right move. Unfortunate outcome but left us in a much better position to make adjustments. -
He has not showed himself to be TO. Not close. Your baggage, for some reason. This is tiresome. He doesn’t seem like that bad a kid. We know dad has a huge mouth and ego. I haven’t kept up to see what extent Deion has inserted himself into that situation in Cleveland but it seems like if he were causing trouble we would hear about it. He was a 5th round pick I think and was embarrassed nationally on draft day and also with the Falcons coach’s son prank calling him, it doesn’t appear that he has had an easy time of it and is getting a chance to play. I’ll judge him on what actually happens moving forward.

I haven’t looked at their tax returns but are they not professionals? With Masters and PhDs? I seriously doubt he lacked for any material stuff with that kind of base. I could be wrong but did they not move the family to facilitate his football dream? Pretty sure he was given every advantage they could give him. Deion is more connected and embedded in the football world and doesn’t lack financial resources, but Bryce’s parents were well funded.

Sycophants sold out to Young falsely portray doubters as not wanting to win. Lame. We want to win. Of course. But one barely winning season at 9-8 doesn’t prove poo in the big picture. It feels good, sure. Fine. It is more we don’t believe Young, so far, has demonstrated that he is the answer. And having the answer is far more important to us than a single season’s winning record. That maybe… maybe, happens by a game. How many real games has he had that can demand we bow down to a multi year commitment and declare the issue settled? Not enough for us. And that is the big picture objective. I would bet collectively we see the people who are sold off of the three or four good games while ignoring equal numbers of bad games - some that we somehow still won, some we lost - as not having high enough standards.
-
Also.. Let’s not mention the obvious double standard applied here. Look at our QB’s history of entitlement. His parents are well off and catered to him big time. Best schools, coaching, rosters, totally elite poo. His path was basically paved with gold. It continued in college and it continues here. He did not have a single competitive hurdle placed in between him and the starting job here. Just handed to him. The Sanders kid had to earn it for sure. Double standard. One for Bryce, one for Deion’s kid. Do I want him? Not really. A little gun shy of his dad’s meddling. Would prefer not to be opened up to that can of worms. But he is having to earn his place more than our guy has.
-
That sounds like your baggage. Can he play or not? That is the question.
-
Yeah. Well you want a clear path you don’t want to be blocked. Loser winner whatever.
-
Yeah. For sure we are no longer bottom tier, on the whole. We still have some days like that but overall the floor is higher to the point we are off the bottom. The rating in that graphic is really overrating us.
-
I am not on his jock but not sure why wanting to avoid being behind Lamar Jackson is worthy of scorn. That could be a 4 year sentence to having pine splinters in his butt. Which might be good for him for a couple of years… not 4 though.
-
Aren’t they getting Mike Evans back?
-
They should tell the NFL they won’t even consider more games until the rosters are expanded. The owners’ greed is killing this goose.
-
The fun is just starting for the sideline headset wearing owner women. They gave up their next two 1st round picks for a cornerback. And from what little I saw, really should not have done that.
-
Ultimate Bizarro World outcome.
-
We should be in the second tier. At best.
-
All the Saints had to do was lose to be in the top draft slot. I think they are 5th now. And Tennessee wins to knock themselves out.
-
I am glad people still want to upgrade. Seeing the name of almost any random is better to me than reading Bryce stans selling our future down the river again over maybe 15-20% worth of good performances while forgetting the bulk of his track record - and wanting more 1st round help for him to boot.
-
I guess. But head to head trumps that doesn’t it? What changes is Maybe we don’t need a sweep if we can overcome the head to head scoring and maintain division and conference parity.
-
This is good. Saints fall further from the 1st overall, we get square with TB, division loss tie breaker is neutralized, sets the Saints up to be overconfident next week. Maybe.
-
I mean we have no idea what will happen, with any certainty. But there is pudding that has proved he is totally capable of going right back to overwhelmed/outmatched the very next game following a record setting day. IOW he definitely looks like he has improved but has also looked like it is still 2023. Everybody wants to hand out the trophy now. Every time he plays well. Best to not do that and see what happens. Really looking forward to the Saints game.
