WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Anybody? Somebody give me a scenario that might even be remotely hopeful...

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Play the Lions?

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

We just need to get a few players back. Kamara should be back. Hopefully Taysom starts. Also hopefully Payton held both Armstead and Ramsczyk out to be able to play Thursday. The Bills have not been playing that great. They've lost three of their last five only beating the Jets and the Dolphins.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

How about stopping the opposing team on third downs? Would that help?

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

OUCH

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Cajun Fried Turkey and all the fix-ins plenty of cold beer and a bottle of Ezra Brooks.
By Kick-Off time all you'll see is Black Jerseys out there you'll think your watching the Saints but you won't be sure.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

That was mostly a dig at the Lions. Mostly.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

TRUE DAT - but they probably would have killed us today.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Thursday feels like a get right game for Buffalo. Sadly.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Passes that don’t quack and hands that do not spasm on contact. A little bit of discipline and a lot fewer penalties. We look like sh1t and do not tell me that starters are out, with the exception of QB and Center all starters generally rotate with the person that is starting for them now.

If you can not survive past your starting lineup in the NFL you shouldn’t be there.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Honestly, I've lowered my expectations for the 2021 season.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Me too. Now it's 15-5.

:bng:

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Interesting.

SMOKE SOME THC

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Guido...I blocked you but unfortunately I still see your posts when people quote you. That being said..15-5? Dude...being optimistic is one thing. But 15-5?

That's not logical or rational. Or realistic.

Must be a neat little world you live in. Is there fairy's and talking animals? Are the houses made of cupcakes and the rivers are chocolate?

Lol...dude...if your true and absolute expectation is 15-5...you should stop drinking this early in the morning. But I think you just say that because you LOOOOVE that attention. Lol.

I respect everyone's right to their own opinion. But what you're saying isn't opinion. it's just BS.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

I'm sorry, but why must I try to come up with some realistic expectations? I am a fan. I hope for a win every week. Those hopes are periodically not met but I will continue to have them. If that somehow bothers you or anyone else then that is your issue.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

I always have and always will expect the very best when it comes to my Saints whether or not others feel it is realistic. Is this somehow wrong? I have never gone into a Saints game since 1967 thinking that the Saints were going to lose. I am usually able to accept the fact when they do not, but I see nothing to gain by having the expectation.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Same. Its why I want to see Book. It has nothing to do with diminished hope. For me its looking forward. I'm old enough to remember Troy Aikman getting the hell kicked out of him his rookie year. 1 win. It. Was. Brutal.

Put the kid in. Under pressure. If he sucks or is overwhelmed put Taysom or Trevor back in. Preach it to the team so they rally around the kid. Let him play it out the rest of the way. Jameis is your starter next year unless this kid pulls a Brady or a Delhomme or even a Brooks. If he's competent at all you know our fans will get behind him. We are starving for a leader.

I would be blown away if Coach actually did it, but I wouldn't be mad at him if he did. I fully expect we're about to drop at least one of our next two. I'd say we will be expected to lose 2 of our next three. If that plays out, maybe Sean would consider it.

Look, we had a WR over the middle...Calloway against Slay I think. Good ball and good coverage. Thomas would have caught it. Colston would have caught it. Irvin would have caught it. Calloway is an NFL WR, but he's not one of those kinds of receivers. That's why he didn't catch it. Brees would have led him a little more. It would have been an even better ball, but still good coverage and I swear Calloway would still drop it. It's why you pay MT a lot more than you pay Calloway.

Book doesn't fix that. We don't have anybody on the roster that'll fix that. These guys will flash. Hope springs eternal. We drafted the kid. Put him in and keep hoping.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

My wife and I went to the Packers/Cowboys game his rookie year. The Cowboys were horrible. They had nothing to lose putting Aikman in there. The playoffs were not even a dream. But, it was the Cowboys' plan to start Aikman day one. It was why he was drafted. Book wasn't drafted to play at all in 2021 and the playoffs are still a very real possibility. Perhaps if we were somehow mathematically eliminated it might be a possibility. But, with the way things are looking in the NFC the final couple of wild cards spots may very well be open to half the teams in the conference up until the final week.

A winning Thanksgiving? Only eat turkeys that commit suicide.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

I swear, that turkey ran right into my axe and chopped his head off. Worst case of suicide I ever saw !

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Cleaning up the penalties alone will result in 7-10 points. Would be nice to be able to include the kicking game into the game plan. Getting healthy would help.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Why would he hold them back in a conference game so they can be healthy for a non conference game? If he held them back it’s because they couldn’t go. You don’t try to “save players” in a meaningful game. I’ve seen you argue that point a million times on here.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

I'm saying they may have been able to play if absolutely needed, but if five additional days of rest prepares them for more of the upcoming season then it may be worth it.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Change his focal point and watch him change his argument. You'll know he's lost when he goes personal.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

We have to make a change at QB. We can't change our receivers at this point. The offense is just not there. If our receivers can't separate, and they don't seem to we need to have a credible running weapon at QB that the Defense has to respect. Maybe that will help open up the passing game. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result...

Stir it up, saintfan. Stir it up. :D

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Andrus Peat doing something that voids his contract.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Trevor throws 4 picks before halftime. Hill goes in and gets concussed on the last play of the 1st half. We're down 3 scores. Book comes in, plays out of his mind and leads the team to the big Thanksgiving win.

Loomis immediately signs Ian to a 5 year 250 million dollar contract.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Trevor and Taysom both have potential to be our starter imo. I'm fine with Trevor, I don't think the dude is playing bad(his advanced statistics show that he's playing pretty well). He has nobody around him. We need to get some of our line back and we need someone to catch the ball. Kamara coming back would help a lot. If we had a healthy line, Michael Thomas, perhaps another good receiver, and a healthy Kamara, I think we can compete for a Super Bowl with Trevor and I think Sean knows this, which is why he is out there.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Hey that's my fever dream!


Well, not the 250 million contract. We need money for receivers and stuff.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

#9 returns tonight. It’ll be like WWE. He’ll run out of the tunnel and the world will go crazy. The screams of Jim Ross will be heard all around the world! “MY GOD!”

Drew Brees making a surprise visit at qb

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

And The Undertaker comes out as our new TE.

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

+2 or more on turnovers
5 or less penalties

and most importantly make all of our flocking extra points

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Could somebody get Drew to play today? Maybe call Marcus Colston too? LOL

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Deuce is in the house
we are short at RB

Re: WHAT CAN POSSIBLY MAKE THIS A WINNING THANKSGIVING?
 

Wonder if Bobby could still see the field.
