Payton/Brees are 1-4 in road openers
 

And if you look at the history for late afternoon games, we don't play that well in them. I would honestly like to wait until after next week when we have a home game on our belt before passing judgement. And if we have a hard time that will be TB wanting payback. I think our first real test on offense will be week 4 and on defense week 3.

I don't care what time of day we play it is no excuse. Time to let Payton & Loomis go. We need something to be optimistic about and a fresh start will do that.

Re: Payton/Brees are 1-4 in road openers
 

Agreed. No one should be ready to burn roster or jump off a bridge. Lots of football left this season.

Re: Payton/Brees are 1-4 in road openers
 

Coaching and play calling are our weaknesses. Sean, put down the damn play sheet and give Drew the reins.

At this point, it looks like another year of mediocrity.

You think a woman will know how to find the right GM? Rooney isn't gonna let them go anyway. He's fulfilled and happy with hi sb win. SP and Loomis have free reign basically. And when he passes I don't believe Gail i going to have a clue on how to hire and fire.

Time to let Payton & Loomis go. REALLY!!!!

Re: Payton/Brees are 1-4 in road openers
 

Payton stay, Loomis demoted to bean counter

Not listening.

Re: Payton/Brees are 1-4 in road openers
 

We are only 0-1. Calm down.

Re: Payton/Brees are 1-4 in road openers
 

1-1 after next week.
We will all feel better.
The deficiencies in coaching and play making will still exist.

Yep! it's official.........the sky is falling. :bang:

Re: Payton/Brees are 1-4 in road openers
 

It would be nice to say things will get back to normal next week because of "Dome Sweet Dome" but in reality we're 0-5 in our last home games. Oh, and feeling like we'll destroy a rookie QB in his first road game... I don't have that feeling of superiority anymore. Learned that lesson with RG3.

And replace them with who? The grass is always greener ...

Re: Payton/Brees are 1-4 in road openers
 

We lost our last five home games because we had bad offensive lines and played without Armstead against Atlanta on top of weakness at center and LG already. Also it just so happens our home games were tougher than our road games. We are not the first team to get bit by a homestand of Cincinatti and Baltimore. San Diego had it happen in 2012 when they, like us, were dealing with ol problems. Those are among the worst teams to play if you can't protect. But if we had an ounce of defense we could have won those games.

Listening to Deke and Bobby, they proved my point exactly on Benson. He is not gonna let them go because like I said they gave him a superbowl trophy.

Re: Payton/Brees are 1-4 in road openers
 

Since the NFL home field advantage overall is about 60%, the NFL average for 5 road games 2-3.

But I can't find a stat on home openers. I'd imagine its higher than the normal 60%

So we're 1-4, and stats show we should be 2-3.

A 1 game delta from the norm isn't really a big deal is it?

Re: Payton/Brees are 1-4 in road openers
 

Ok so were off to a good start. RELAX!

Re: Payton/Brees are 1-4 in road openers
 

Where are you all planning on going cuz Coach isn't going anywhere.
I still think RR needs to move on SP could be preoccupied worrying about the Defense. Just don't see the cohesion there and actually never did from the opening bell.

Re: Payton/Brees are 1-4 in road openers
 

And there's the rub...Last week was painful to watch, hopefully the defense can rattle a rookie QB.

Re: Payton/Brees are 1-4 in road openers
 

Am I hearing this correctly? Payton and Loomis should go?!?! Seriously?

Re: Payton/Brees are 1-4 in road openers
 

That's correct.

The sky has been falling since at least 2014.
