I’m drained watching this team. This product being put on the field is trash… 😡

When I was a little one, my Coach would punch the ball, punch me in the head, in the back, in the chest, anything to try to force a fumble, while screaming "HOLD THE BALL!" It had an impact. He was a major motivating FORCE. Coaching mattered.

I feel like they gone give the Seahawks the ball. It’s just what the NFL does to us.

Here is where the refs screw us.

Anything “close”, the Saints won’t get.

Millen is a clown. Called it gratuitous. No. It was good play!

A key problem is we can't bench many of the guys because their backup is a barely athletic former undrafted rookie or a totally washed up minimum salary vet. What the NFL draft does it let you stock up with good athletes with potential in the early and middle rounds who are young and hungry and ready to take the job if the starter drops the ball. But we don't feel we need that kind of depth so we always trade away picks and don't care about the compensatory pick formula. We won a Super Bowl drafting great oline in the mid rounds and now we rarely retain a mid round pick or get a decent oline with one. And if we ever do occasionally retain a middle round pick, half the time we reach for some ridiculous project who nobody expected to be drafted at all who doesn't make the team, just to prove the point that see we can trade all those picks for a few golden boys and a flask of annointing oil. Thats where this falls on Loomis and the entire front office where we need to totally clean house. To some extent we are stuck tolerating horrible performances because 'Mickey' Mouse traded all those picks to 'make it happen' for some guys who were penciled in as starters regardless of performance, and then all the draft picks we traded away left us with no alternative if they failed. So we are one of the oldest teams, one of the most injury prone teams, and when our players screw up nobody can do anything because the backup is some undrafted guy who clearly can't carry the water. So the starters can relax and eat some Little Debbies because nobody can threaten their job.
