How does no KK hurt?  He's been a nonfactor all year.

I actually think Ron is going to literally throw the kitchen sink at Brees tonight.  I think Ron is going to unleash every blitz he has in the books. 

Means Brees will make some plays but Carolina might surprise. 

I still think we lose but I actually think people will be shocked at how competitive this game is.  I expect it to go like every game we have played this season.  Only 1 hasn't been a game.  This will be a game worth watching.

I mean today pretty signals the old saying.....you are never as bad as you think you are....or as good as you think you are. All the sudden we are now the 2010 Carolina Panthers.   When just 6 weeks ago, we were the playoffs are a lock Panthers. 

This is generally true and I agree with it, but we really are a lot like the 2010 team right now and we play like it too

EDIT: I take that back, we're like the 2001 team a lot more.

DJ Moore was literally in the endzone with a ball going between his hands.....on the last play of the game.  I mean, you can't say it was never close.   Maybe we didn't play well enough to really deserve that shot but we were still there taking it. 

I went to that playoff game.  It was close.  That game hit a stretch where every Saint fan around us in that stadium thought they were going to lose.  Cam had Funchess late in that game too.....but Funchess went up like he was 4ft tall and 90 lbs.

Yeah, good points, but i honestly wasn't speaking under the influence of the present...  none of those games last year against the saints felt close to me.  When an offense moves the ball at will on you for a majority of the game, it feels pretty helpless.

bout to say, we are nothing like the 2010 team.  That team has no shot.  The 2018 team literally has as shot to win every game at the end and we just implode.   I really can't name a comparable season. 

I mean the law of averages is eventually going to swing in our favor on the outcome of some of these games.

I agree. Like 2001, it won’t happen until the next season

A second loss like that and at home. yea the coach and GM should be fired Tuesday morning

that doesn't make us better. 

talent is our issue more than coaching.  

who do you hire that you know is better than Ron

Norv is doing great things with a hurt Cam.   Just imagine a healthy Cam in that O with a year of playing with Moore and Samuel. 

I don't see Tepper firing Ron.  Maybe if he loses out.

Giants game, and Philadelphia game come to mind as games were it swung in our favor.

they were.  

but it still is pretty slanted the other way IMO.   

I still find the 2001 comparison bad.   I mean every loss outside of 1 has been within a score this year.  Our record could easily look vastly different if a single throw worked out different late.  Can't say that about 01.   Without looking, I would say most of our loses in 2001 were by double digits.   We had some close ones but we also got the breaks off us often.

This team has been inconsistent for a long time its time for a fresh start

Think Dan Reeves,  Andy Reid,  Brian Billick  all with more success than RR

and i dont get paid to know who is the next Sean McVay or Doug Peterson  good teams have their eyes on the next great coach before they need him

Wrong, actually. We lost eight games by a touchdown or less in 2001. We went through a four-game stretch where our largest margin of defeat was four points, and it was from mid-November to early December, right before the team just laid down and took it up the ass the last few weeks.

Sound familiar?

The moment the Saints upgraded their o-line we became their bitch more or less. Nothing has changed.

Saints upgraded their Oline, our Dline has declined. Drew Brees + 0 pass rush + piss poor secondary coach by piss poor Richard Rodgers = serious ass kickin

As a Saints fan I'd feel much more comfortable were Armstead back from his pectoral issue.  Bushrod is serviceable at this late stage of his career, but Armstead is among the league's best LTs.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
