Observations from the Saints Loss to the Cardinals

Defense regressed with the use of two DCs. Our DL is arguably worse. No way Davenport gets a new contract. Shoulda kept Ceedy. Honeybadger isn't the Honeybadger of old. Play Shaheed way more. MT is awol yet again. Our OL needs much attention. Looking forward to see our LT coming off of IR.

Too early to fire DA.

Now, if the "stars" he brought in return to action next week and fail to perform then it's time.

As desperate as it sounds to say out loud, this team still has a shot. A small, very very unlikely one - but a shot nonetheless.

Offer Sean Payton whatever he wants.

It all starts up top. A planned reset should have been done a long time ago. I get the intent of drafting of Mahomes was a big part of that, but there needed to be a plan B when that didn't work. Sean Payton is going to go wherever there's a star quarterback or high draft pick set in place for him. What this franchise needs now is a king's ransom worth of draft picks FOR Sean Payton, NOT Sean Payton.

I'm not discounting what Loomis has done for this franchise but... he seems to be a glorified accountant. Those can be replaced. We don't need our books cooked, we need a leader leading the franchise. I'd like to see a complete overhaul of our S&C and analytics program. I really like what LSU has done in transitioning their dinosaur S&C training program into a modern, cutting edge type system. We need to do some research and up our game.

There's still football. We're still Saints fan. It is what it is.

As has been previously said in this post, a lot of us possibly don't want to admit it but it is time to rebuild throughout the whole team!

It would mean some very lean seasons, three at least I think, but that's how it has to be! Panthers have already made some big decisions and we will have to do the same I think!

Yes, we still have a chance to get some wins this season but its hard to see where they are going to come from! I'll be happy if the Saints prove me wrong and string a load of wins together in the upcoming games but I'm not holding my breath! Having said all this I still love the Saints and will always support them whatever! Who Dat!

Overall i think the D played pretty well considering our top 3 corners were out (lattimore, adebo, roby), but they were in position to play much better if they could tackle.

Like Fitzgerald said, if you have a Qb throwing interceptions it might as well be Winston. At least when Winston throws one it could just as easily be a TD.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
