AS FANS, WE DESERVE BETTER. PERIOD.

The whole mess, Brees retiring, injuries, Blovid 19 mindf*ck, Salary Cap, etc., and here we are. It's ok to be depressed, angry. Actually, it is necessary for a Fan to go through this when everything goes pear-shaped. And when I say that this is the UGLIEST in our History, of course y'all gonna talk about the seventies and eighties - but that doesn't make this sting any less. It's UGLY. PERIOD. We did not prepare for this at many levels, and "rebuilding" is looking ugly too. So yeah, gotta get up and go to work tomorrow and hope that it might be less embarrassing next week. Right? Most importantly, WE FANS best not troll on and fight with each other, while Millionaires get paid. We got a lotta Heart. WHO DAT!

Yeah it was ugly, but not due to mismanagement. It's reality. We have to rebuild the offense. Hard decisions are coming in a few weeks. Time to move on from some people.

The "reality" is that nearly every other team is managing reality better than us this year.

Sinner, you have to take a deep breath. One of my best friends out here is a friggin Jets fan. Do you want to talk about a struggling franchise!

I hear you - My cousin is a Jets Fan - But if we do a battle of bad highlights reels, after tonight, I think I got him beat.

None of those other teams have dealt with near the "reality" that the Saints have dealt with this season. If fact, no team in history has. I read last night that the Saints set an NFL record with 56 different starting players in a single season. 56!

Ruiz and Peat would be a good place to start. I know that they are under contract and we'll need to cut our losses but I've seen too much poor guard play for years. You're right though, we have some more cuts and losses again just like last year getting under the salary cap. This team needs an influx of serious cheap talent that we can develop with these coaches talent and drills.

Offensively, we need a lot (G, TE/WR & Free agent QB) & better depth on the O line. Defensively, not so much. This group is solid.

Saints need to be aggressive in Free Agency & in the draft.

Find a veteran to replace Ruiz. He's terrible.

Every season there are injuries to deal with and overcome. This season is extraordinary due to the added covid problems. Add to that the fact that it is the first season without our leader, Drew Brees. I'm actually proud of the team for playing as well as they have this season. Especially if you consider we lost three games due to missed kicks.
