For those of you with the hopes that the Saints may have an outside shot at the playoffs, you just witnessed them disappear like sand through a sieve. That was a pathetic display of football. Once again, no defense. Once again, they wait until their backs are against the wall to get on the scoreboard. Once again, they just flat out stunk. At least Donte' showed up today. When he learns a little hand-eye coordination, he may be able to get his hands on the deep ball.

So what happened with Boo? He still dropping critical 3rd down passes? And why could Deuce get going? Poor effort or Denver defense that good?

Pathetic
 

It seemed like every time Brooks threw to Boo he was in coverage. Poor pass selection by Brooks there. Deuce couldn\'t get it going, because they went with the pass most of the game. Reason? The Saints defense made the Saints offense play with their backs against the wall.....AGAIN!!!! When Brooks throws nearly 60 passes in a game, then there isn\'t much opportunity for Deuce to run the ball. Did have a good game receiving out of the backfield, though.

But even at 20-0 down at the end of the 1st quarter; strong balanced play on offence and strong play of the defence could have still brought us back into the game.

Franly the fact we only scored 13 at the half was NOT the defences fault. They could have had 21 points but for offensive penalties and electing not to thorw the ball away on one of the only plays that Brooks had time but instead lost 12 yards on the play.

I am looking forward to hear haslett praise how well our defensive coordinator called such a good game, how well our defensive game plan was. I just love Haslett and Venturi

Pathetic
 

You\'re right. But instead of Haslett at a press conference, I\'d rather see Benson speaking and announcing he was cleaning house: Gone is the entire coaching staff and the front office and... oh yeah, he\'s gonna sell the team to someone that knows something about football.


Well, I can dream, can\'t I?!


Tom Benson may have made his money selling cars but he\'s done nothing but park a lemon on the football field for the last too many years. I wonder how many car buyers got screwed buying an automobile from this guy. I know a lot of us have buyer\'s remorse from the product he\'s shoved on us that he\'s called a football team.


Jeeeeeez...when does it end?!

Pathetic
 

Hey blake6900 - you post almost as much as me. LOL!

where does it all end? - I do not know. I just dearly wish I could enjoy an NFL season. It is like a drug. I suffer, but keep coming back.

Pathetic
 

Looks like the coaches were still to high from the KC game (which wasn\'t even that good). But honestly, who actually thought that we would win this game?

Pathetic
 

I\'ll tell you what - if Tom Benson wants to gain a little public support for his 17 trillion dollar stadium and payments deal, he\'ll fire the coaching staff Monday. Yeah, the two really ahve little to do with each other, but it buys Benson some goodwill with the fans - many of whom would have to create public pressure for the Governor to change her tune.

Pathetic
 

Hey, when brilliant folks like us have something to say, we just gotta say it, right?


Where does it all end? I don\'t know but I know this: It will never get any better with this coaching staff. Haslett\'s a hothead who doesn\'t practice what he preaches (just ask Kyle Turley), Mike McCarthy is Carl Smith in disquise, Rick Venturi is a good linebackers coach who shouldn\'t be a defensive coordinator. I\'d keep John Pease, defensive line coach but I\'m not sure I\'d want anyone else to stay.


The GM Mickey Loomis is a smart money guy who couldn\'t evaluate football talent is his life depended on it. Either he has bad personnel evaluation skills or he\'s been listening to Haslett too much, either of which has been unsuccessful so far and probably will continue to be.


But, my first wish is for Tom Benson to have mercy on all of us and sell the team to someone who knows a little more about football than when to twirl a parasol.

Pathetic
 

Too true. I guess we must all have been very bad in a previous life.

Everything seems so pointless. I cannot even fathom what the Saints should fix first to get a result next week. :(

Pathetic
 

Hello I am new to the site , Sort of a long time reader first time responder.
I would like to respond to the thought of a new owner who knows a little about football. I am not thrilled with the thought of having a owner who get envolved in the every day running of the team. I think Mr Benson should clean house yes, but I dont want him selling the team to some one who will be envolved in play calling or selecting players. I dont think people thought he didnt know much about football when he choose Mr. Jim Finks or Mr Muller.

Pathetic
 

He\'s predictable at times, but I don\'t remember the Carl Smith Saints scoring 20 to 30 points 13 weeks a season.

You\'re right he shouldn\'t be a defensive coordinator... I have a hrd time believing he should be a coach at all. If his strong point is coaching linebackers and our LB corp is what you get, he has no business getting near a high school team.

Probably true, but then the D-line hasn\'t exactly been effective this season either.

Pathetic
 

:casstet: Saints coaching is pathetic. 12 men in the huddle at the one yard line -- no excuse for mental errors like that. As for the defense -- they did settle down in the second and third quarter -- of course maybe denver wasn\'t trying to score -- all in all though - really poor performance by all,.

Pathetic
 

Just think - the Saints are the ONLY team this year not to score on an opening drive. Those plays are SCRIPTED. These are the 15 plays that the coaching staff spends all week breaking down film and strategizing to get out fast. These are the plays our coordinators think will work best against the other team. It makes me want to vomit.

You\'re right but consider this: Pease has been their one year. Clearly he\'s been unable to light a fire under Sullivan but some of the players that have shown up since he\'s been here have been an improvement. Young, Green. etc.

Pathetic
 

Actaully, Young came in recognized as a high motor guy and Green has the distinction of being better than Sullivan, which means diddly-poo. We had no other options. Have any of our d-lineman tackled any rb for a loss this year? I don\'t blame this on Pease, I blame it on Haslett\'s lack of an ability to recognize any talent and Venturi being a horrible coordinator.
