Another season of Rivera mediocrity. Probably the same in 2018

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Y'all should really join the nihilism panthers crew. This team isn't winning a sb any time soon. Super Bowl 50 was when "got it" and have since followed the panthers with bemused interest. Call me a fair weather, I don't give a fug. At least my Sundays are free bitches

Firing Shula would go a long way for this team. A better OC would make this team look amazing. 

What exactly do you think can be done with the current offensive "talent?"

That non-call against the saints...the neutral zone infraction...was a HUGE non call that affected how the game went after that.  Can't blame Ron for that.  The Saints are a pretty good team so any little thing such as that non-call could be decisive as far as how the game goes.  

Matt Kalil cost us in a couple spots today, as well as that fumble by Clay.  Sometimes things are just stacked against you.  I honestly didn't expect to win today so I'm not upset over the loss, just the way it happened.

As far as Rivera...isn't he our most winningest coach?

Just imagine what it will do for your post counts. Fire eveybody Dilly Dilly

This is all Jerry. There's a reason we STILL have no back to back winning seasons. It's a trend. We'll have multiple mediocre seasons. Then we'll have a magical season where fans get their hopes back up thinking we turned a corner. And then we come back the following year and crumble yet again. JR does just enough to field a competent team, and then sits back while his enjoys his "family atmosphere" business.

With better playcalling, I see us in better position than we are now. Play calling is a huge factor.

I honestly think that you guys are overrating our offensive talent.

[Randolph Panther]

Im def not a fan of Shula but lets not act like our offense is really talented that is being wasted.  Outside of Newton our offense is absolute garbage. 

[Rags]

Out of all the games to be mad at Rivera about

This isn't even close to one.

This is one time he can say we didn't execute and it actually be accurate.

Peppers dumb penalty, the fumble on the punt, the drops, the poor pass protection, the poor coverage in the secondary and missed tackles everywhere.

Play calling was. Mostly okay. A few headscracthers and just running out the clock at half was confusing,  but we had plenty of chances to win this game, with some very good playcall (Stew makes that block it's a TD to Byrd, for example.)

Secondary and WR core have to be a focus this offseason.

8-4, still number one in the wild card race, most of the other wild card threats lost this week, and we just lost to a team with one of the best offenses in the lead. We will be fine. 

No, we won't. This coaching staff is inept. We may make the playoffs, but we will get blown out in the 1st game. No adjustments, no fire, no discipline. 

[JARROD]

Dave all over this team, the gift that keeps on giving.

Lets cheap Ginn who loves playing for Carolina walk,... again,.. drafts terrible mccaffrey who was a 4th rounder at best number 8, Kalil the single handed drive killer? Omg for real?

then these coaches,.. holy rotten Bat man,

and we are stuck with it all.

Just bad enough to not contend.

Just good enough to not get fired.

 

Such is the way.

 

I'm drunk. Someone come tuck me in.

Calm down, the Saints were always going to win the division. Not a good performance but life goes on. We're gonna be fine.

What was it 1:02 left, at the 30, 2 time outs, down by 7, away game.  

WHO THE FREAK plays to halftime?  Ronald Riviera 

[TheRed]

Run game was my biggest concern before the game, and lo and behold it still is.

Guess who our leading rusher was?

Not our 8th overall pick, that's for sure.
