Like. Heart. Love. This post is WONDERFUL and INSIGHTFUL and everyone who posts here should read it.

It's fun to debate things...to argue with a twinkle in your eye. That's what we're here for. But we have to deal with the people here who fit the above description. Because people who fit the above description are

holes.

We were fairly competitive while we were outmanned. Even the WR are still trying, they just suck. Sean will turn it around in time, but right now losing to the JETS is a very real possibility.

I don't give those to whom you are referring the benefit of being considered an a-hole. They are the neighborhood brat. The little squid down the street that no one really likes.

Lamb is quick and can shake DB's on those out routes that were killing us all night. Two high zone on 3rd downs was not cutting it.
Harris was the star of that WR corps last night. Aside for a couple drops, he and Vannett kept most of the passing game alive.
O line functioned pretty well as a unit most of the night in spite of being a patchwork solution.
D front 7 shut down the run game effectively with the exception of that ridiculous long run by Pollard. (WTF, was up with Williams letting him run the sideline like that when he had the angle? Was he afraid of whiffing a solo tackle? Again?)
Then there was Taysom. His rushing was nothing short of glorious and Dallas had little answer for it. Kudos. But then, when he had to pass the ball? 1) Staring down your receivers; 2) No touch; 3) Short arming passes; 4) Throwing into double coverage; 5)When there were receivers open (which, surprisingly, they were several times last night), inability to lead them on crossing and fade routes to hit them in stride.

Short of some radical changes, Taysom is NOT the answer at QB. I wasn't thrilled with JW at first, but he proved he could move and score with this Offense. The front office would better serve the team short term by securing Winston. Otherwise, I see a long and painful walk to NFL relevance again.

To paraphrase Jack Nicholson's Joker: This offense needs an enema!

So, we need to flush Peat and Ruiz?

At the moment we're just not a good team between injuries and losing players to get under the salary cap this offseason. I would never want the Saints to tank for a higher draft pick, but the fact is that the rest of this season looks daunting at best.

If we can win 5 games in a row like some on here believe is possible then we will lose at least 2 or 3 of them. This year we lost several games because we played down to the competition as usual. I want to win but I'm becoming more of a realist every day. The rest of the future for winning several more games this season is not very bright.

We have excellent management and coaching. Restock this offseason, bring Winston back, draft well and the future looks so bright I've go to wear shades.
