And in the playoffs, you better be good enough to dominate many lesser teams if you expect to beat the best. But our team this year plays close games at best because we have too many weaknesses, are too old, too injured, and lack depth, largely due to cap and draft problems brought about by Loomis. So we are bragging about the wins we eked out against mediocre teams, complaining about the others we might have eked out if we didnt have ref and injury problems we knew we would have, and missing the point that to go the distance we need to be a team capable of dominating and we clearly are not. Its time for a rebuild.
Loomis has put a talented team on the field this year that, even with injuries and bad calls, is one game out of first in the division and has been in every game. If the team was losing by two scores every week it would be a different matter. But they are not. Allen held them together to rebound from 17 down against atlanta. There’s (so far) no quit in this team and I promise you no team seeing the Saints on their schedule is looking forward to the game. I can remember times when that sure as hell wasn’t the case. Maybe you can’t.

Things like Kamara’s fumbles and Hurst ripping a guys helmet off are not under Loomis’s control. Hell, those plays are outside of Allen’s control. There’s an old adage that says a team is not as good as they look when they’re winning and they aren’t as bad as they look when they’re losing. After a shortened preseason played mostly without Kamara, Winston, Thomas it’s no surprise the Offense is struggling. But there’s articles about how half the league is struggling over the first quarter of the season. You think Tampa is where they want to be needing the refs to save their butts from another loss?

I guess Loomis must have stolen your high school sweetie or something for your attitude towards him. I know I’m not gonna change your mind. It’s just…interesting to see you throw out so much negativity without any reserve. Especially after a W.
