NFLN's First On The Field Unanimously Pick Taints To Win

Sterling Sharpe, LaDainian, Melissa Stark, aaaand Lombardi all picked the Taints to win.

Additionally, on Gameday Morning, Kurt Warner just said he picked us as his "0-1 team on alert," not because we lost, but because of how we lost last week and mentioned our 13 carries for 10 yards. He then read off our schedule for the next 8 games and said after our heightened expectations coming into this season and our Superbowl claims, if we don't play good football today it could go downhill fast.

I'm not gonna lie, I may be the Obi Wan of overreaction sometimes, but removing emotion from the equation, this is truly a must-win in my opinion. Every week is important every year, but I don't ever remember this much urgency, this early in a season before.

Now this is truly a statement game. If we are to have any semblance of a "successful" season then we need to win this one. It is simply not a good look for us to allow the Saints** to come into our house and punk us after losing the way that we did last week. We appeared flat, lost, and out of sync (if not just plain out of touch) offensively. Either last week will be a much needed wake-up call for a young team to gel, or it will be the harbinger to the fait accompli of a once proud organization has truly lost its identity and way because of obvious mismanagement and trying to do things on the cheap.

As to what Warner said, I agree to an extent. If we come out and play poorly, continue to look unprepared and flat, then yes, I believe that we are in for a rough time this year.

If we lose, but it's a close game and we play well, then there is still hope.

Let's hope we don't have to find out.

      Bryce QB School Week 12

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is a wild statement it’s to late to save his season with six games left? That mountain of bad film as a rookie with trash coaching a weak azz line and dismal WRs. Guys that can’t catch on with other teams or guys traded to teams that are subpar at best. We put Bryce in a terrible situation to start his career does that matter to you or you feel he should’ve, as a rookie elevate this dumpster fire. If you’re giving him a fair assessment judge him off the last four games a good o-line decent WRs still not comparable to any other young QB WR room Hou (tank/nico..) Tua (Hill/Waddle) Caleb (Moore/Rome/Allen) let’s see what he can do with a decent structure around him for the next few weeks then let’s revisit how we’re going to grade or assess his performances.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By KSpan · Posted

      As a bit of counterpoint, if he wanted to continue his professional career then handling it like a mature adult was the only option. Dude had been playing like absolute ass and needed to own it. It's great that he did but it's not like he didn't have a large amount of self interest in doing so. Not picking on Bryce specifically here, as this applies to any player or even anyone struggling early in their career. And he still has a long way to go, but signs are positive.

      Ja'Tavion Sanders avoids serious injury

      By Captroop · Posted

      I agree he could still develop, but I think that could still be developed in practice. Just after a scary injury like that, I'm nervous to see him get reps in a live game situation when the best possible outcome is nothing more than worsening our draft selection. That said, I'm 100% not a doctor, so if he's clear to play, he wants to play, and there's no potential of aggravating this injury (which by all accounts it doesn't seem that is the case for this type of injury) then go for it, I guess.   But you hit the nail on the head. This draft class is really impressive. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a rookie that I'd actually prefer shutting him down. His game is so apparent that he doesn't need to prove anything at this point. Can't remember the last time that happened!
