The Saints have a better record than us and they just knocked off the Bucs with Trevor Siemian while we had to dig deep to put away Matty Melt. Maybe if we had put a better effort into the backup qb position there would be more hope but we've got what we've got.

Tampa Tom is now 0-3 vs the Saints.

I think most reasonable people said .500 at the end of the year would be a huge success. We got spoiled by the 3-0 start. 

Well, this year that would have to be 8-8-1. 

Sparky comments aside, I would be thrilled to finish around .500. Especially since four of the games would be coming against the tough part of our schedule.

ffs.  Stop it.  Even if some crazy crap happens and we end up in the playoffs we are not a good team yet.  We were never supposed to be.  THIS YEAR.

Next year squeaking into the playoffs should be a reasonable expectation, if we can identify and acquire an NFL QB while fixing the most egregious of our OLine problems.  We aren't going to fix everything next offseason.

Someone please tell me how the Saints beat the Bucs after Crab Legs got injured early in the game.  How'd they do it?  Was TB missing key players?  Didn't see the game.

I think that they were not prepared for Trevor. He is not great, but is serviceable. Brees was on Football night in America on NBC and said that Trevor is the right guy to run the Saints offense in a pinch. Plus he has played for  the Saints before. 
So the fact that he knows the offense and Tampa probably went into the game without watching any, or very little film on him allowed the Saints offense to play at a similar level that they had been. 
Also, the Saints defense has something on Tampa’s offense. Tom looked confused at times and threw costly INT’s that cost them the game.

This is a season that is being greatly defined by injuries. Our last four games were definitely defined by injuries. New Orleans just took a big hit. The same could happen to any of the front runners.

We are, crazily, just at the halfway-ish spot in the season, with a lot of football left to play. A couple of injuries here and there for our opponents could see some weird things happen in the play offs. Once there, well, anything can happen.

Of course, our concussed QB puts a difficult wrinkle into our plans...

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
