It’s a long season. We went toe to toe with a team that made it to the SB last year. They have very talented offensive weapons. We had none of our top WRs. We caught 2 bad calls from the refs that kept their drives going.

I watched Eli Manning get 2 rings because his team caught fire at the right time. I’m not predicting a SB win, but I ain’t throwing in the towel.

I needed this more that I’m willing to admit. I was peaking over the edge.

Last few years, we've seen several teams have HC vacancies. None of those teams even gave D.A a call for an interview. Heck, Houston went with Lovie Smith who hadn't coach in the NFL in several years. What does that tell you about D.A? He's not the long term answer at H.C. Whether he's gone after the end of this season(which he should be) or next season, the Saints seemed destined to rebuild. Time to do it now. Fire D.A. and Pete, blow up the QB depth chart and start over from scratch and start dumping some of these veterans. We had 15 great years with Sean and Drew and to try to continue to run on the fumes left over from that is insane.

We should have paid Marcus Williams and had him and Marcus Maye and Kept Chauncey. Tyrann has really sold this year.

"All this negativity…..I mean, we were already down Horn and Stallworth…..who was Brooks supposed to throw to? Deuce did what he could, but Haslett wasn’t aggressive enough to close it out."

Coverage has been why the pass rush has been dissapointing so far. Trust. The secondary has had the most change and it shows.

Adebo is very dissapointing as well, I wish Allontae a speedy recovery.

D was disappointing. Punting was disappointing. Red zone was disappointing (play calling atrocious). Dalton is a steady QB, I just want to see him with top 3 receivers, not practice squad.

At 2-4, we now have a 9-10% chance of making the playoffs.
