Regardless of who was playing tonight any team with 21 players missing should have had opportunity to move game like Cleveland the week before. Don’t be surprised to see games moved this weekend. I don’t necessarily believe the NFL is against the Saints I just believe the NFL has elected to let the government make the decisions for the with these CoVid rules. If your are asymptomatic get out there and play.

If all of those players were in fact fully vaccinated an Asymptomatic I dont understand why they aren't playing. NFL is definitely agaisnt the Saints then one of the announcers tried to down play 21 players being out with Covid because Indy won with a few players out. I guess your back ups should be first rounders as well

Substitute Dallas/Packers/Patriots for the Saints tonight and the league would have postponed this game so fast it would have made your head spin!

20 or more people out with Covid protocol, I would expect no less from a fourth round rookie quarterback. Can’t give up on him just yet but it definitely showed he will not be ready anytime soon

Did it? Taysom threw FOUR INTS in one of the losses out of 5. None of the QBs had to deal with this level of oline. Book def left some plays on the field, but I dont feel like either Taysom or Trevor are any truly better options. Taysom may have converted some first downs but I dont know if he could have won with this OLine who MISSED on every blitz pick up or damn near

My biggest criticism is not throwing the ball away and taking sacks. But also I read all along he is a running QB, and I saw no sign of that tonight.

Also half the offensive line probably didn't even know the protections.

Dude, I like Book. He didn't get a fair shake tonight. I'd like to see what he has and give him the nod the rest of the season.

Joe Montana would have looked like Joe Mantegna tonight.

Look I’m not a big fan of Taysom as quarterback but right now he’s your best option because of the threat he brings as a runner. Is he a better passer than book right now, absolutely, but he’s not the answer long term but this years playoff run is not long term it’s two more games and hopefully more. As I said on an earlier post I’ve been watching these guys since the late 70’s and went a long time without a playoff appearance much less a playoff win so I still appreciate just getting there. Any saints football I can get I will take. Just get there baby!!!

I'll wait for Coach Payton to watch the tape and give his real assessment on former 1st rounder Cesar Ruiz. I didn't even like him at center.

No sugar coating here but this guy is a trash can offensive lineman. He has no business starting on this line.
