We need to cut Peat and Loomis, cap be damned. We need a light at the end of the tunnel not settling to live in cap hell forever.

Re: AS FANS, WE DESERVE BETTER. PERIOD.

It wasn't impressive by any means, but taking everything into consideration - it went pretty much as well as it could have.

The offense was just a shadow of what the Saints could field on the paper if all players were available, so that in mind I can accept that performance and move on.

The same goes for the whole season. The amount of setbacks and challenges the Saints have faced would be insurmountable to any team, and even with all of that the team is looking at a chance of having a winning record. To me that says a lot about the organization, the coaches and the players the Saints have.

Do you guys really think the Bucs' offensive numbers would look like they do if Evans hadn't played all year, Kyle Trask would be slinging the ball instead of Brady and they'd be missing Marpet, Smith and Wirfs on the O-line?!

During the game, a graphic flashed which said the Saints have had 57 different starters this season, which was a new NFL record with two games to go (one when comparing to 16 game seasons). They have a bunch of players on the IR, they've had to deal with suspensions (Onyenata and Harris/Harty), and had 22 players sidelined by Covid against Miami.

I don't know why this game wasn't actually postponed, because I think one of the games was just moved when one of the teams had 25 players on the Covid list, and I'm pretty sure they didn't have as many players on the IR as the Saints - maybe because it was MNF.

All in all, it isn't all gloom and doom. The defense has been really impressive and the offense is fighting for survival with guys signed off the street.

His name is coming up way too often in the trenches last two seasons. He's not a good guard. Weird draft choice. The same could be said with Peat.

A lot of folks were mystified by those picks ... and here we are.

My confidence meter in his ability is low.

Mine as well.

Is it me or does Payton have more tolerance with o lineman than other positions? Could it come from his QB days?
