AS FANS, WE DESERVE BETTER. PERIOD.

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; 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 ...

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!

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.

No team in the NFL can account for losing your starting qb for the year and then your backup for 4 weeks after that. You basically were stuck with your 3rd stringer, Semien, making 4 starts. I’m not a taysom as qb fan but even I’m realistic enough to realize that if we had had him for any of those 4 games we lost before his first start that we may have gotten at least two of those. That puts you at 8 maybe 9 wins right now with a backup qb, injuries everywhere, hurricane relocation and Covid wipeout. Not to mention our caps situation before the season. Yes this was ugly, but it could be much worse considering everything I just mentioned. We have two weeks left a real legitimate shot at a playoff spot. You can’t consider this season a failure if this team gets in the tournament.

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.

Agreed. Our coaches this year have all but worked a miracle. I have little interest in the playoffs now for a few weeks. Always fun to hope of course. This team just needs a lot of work. Any real shot we had (in my opinion) went down with Jameis, but he was playing with one hand tied behind his back and a WR group that can't even catch covid...
