it was a awesome kick hes one of my fav kickers ever. 63 yards dam

halo it's not working for me

Talib, boom or bust? I agree, most of the time when we say boom or bust that person usually becomes a bust.

I don't see anything Halo.

Wait a minute, the last thing I read that you wrote said Payton needs to be a Coordinator and not a Head Coach because he needs "Supervision". Now you want him to be the coach for 10 years.

Not only do you not know what you are talking about, you don't even know what you want. I know what I want, I want your posts to stop showing up on the main page of B&G so I won't keep thinking there might be some insightful commentary there and read it.

He has some ups and some downs as a head coach. He has not done everything perfectly. Sean Payton, like everyone else, learns through trial and error.

When he starts being consistently retarded like Haslett was, I'll jump on your bandwagon. Until then, you need to get a grasp on the fact that if every head coach was replaced when they made a mistake, there would be NO head coaches in this league.

Everyone is upset with the loss to the Bears, and last years disappointing season. We still have a good team, and a good coach. Replacing Payton would be RETARDED at this point.

Frankly, I don't even know why I am responding to this post because it was a waste of time to read in the first place.

one word popped up in my head when I read this "idiot"...are you serious? everything you just wrote was retarded...basically you are saying he is a bad coach because we lost the nfc championship...shut up

this was very good, in my opinion. i also agree that the o-line needs more recognition. they played very well this year. and we badly need lb's with speed. that alone would help both the d-line and the cb's

Good read Kev.

By the way...love the "Buddy Christ".

Maybe he'll let me try out for challenge analyst. That would be sweet. I'd do the Saints proud.

Sean! I forgive you! The past is over! Let's get it done this year!

WHO DAT!

P.S. Is there any way I could tryout to be your challenge analyst? Seriously, I won't disappoint!

Payton has been humbled a bit this year. This is a good thing. We all, at one time or another, need to be knocked down a few pegs. Now lets see how he gets back up.

humbled a bit i am sure

we stayed healthy!!!!!! this year we have a long list of injuries. No excuses for the 0-4 start though

Nice job. I agree with almost all of it. The defense was a bit harsh but understandable. They do need a big youth movement like GB did two years ago. Carmonte ? CB the thing I have noticed in watching tapes on him is lack of willingness to hit.

Hindsight is a lot better a year later. The man took the team from 3-13 to the NFC championship game and you are doubting a bad decision he made??? Thats crazy!

We over acheived and thats is all. Now here is reality in your face deal with it. Coaches are human as well as players, they all make mistakes and this off season we will see what Sean has learned from this past year.

The coach has got to be solid first! We can't build on a sand foundation.

I'm not sure why people think that the Saints are going to suddenly become a consistent division winner and playoff team when this has never been the case in the FOUR DECADES of their existence.

The Saints are INDEED who I thought they were.

I have to agree with you hagan. The defense has been left alone too long. I'm surprised some of them aren't playing with walkers yet. The Saints need big help up the middle. Hawk would have been a godsend. Connor or Maualuga may be the draft choices to take. DT is another position which needs a lot of help.
Great job summing up the defense. You hit the nail on the head.

It's hard to say where the Saints should go in the draft. From watching them play a few times on Television, there are a lot of holes to fill. An offensive tackle would be a good choice. However, I believe Payton and company should concentrate on the defensive side of the ball. Particularly with the front seven. Or should I say front 5 because Grant and Smith are set at the end positions. A DT and LB's are needed badly. The middle of the defense is just bad. Yes, they make plays occasionally. But not consistantly enough. It may seem like a CB would be the obvious choice here, but if there was any kind of pass rush, the CBs on the roster would be adequate. Opposing quarterbacks just have way too much time to pass the ball. So, Maualuga or Connor would be my choices in round 1. If they are off the board, then one of the CBs mentioned would be fine. A RB could be taken in the later rounds. I think the Saints need to give Pierre Thomas a shot. He doesn't get enough carries. He may be the answer to pound the ball up the middle.
On the offensive side of the ball, an OT is needed to shift Brown back to RT. If a suitable replacement can not be found, then Rucker seems like an interesting pick. He's a very big target. He'd be good across the middle. But like I said, the Saints need to concentrate on the defensive side of the ball in the first round or two.
