Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Ravens

It’s not the reason we lost, but it’s tough to win we you are seeing guys like Kaden Ellis, Dwayne Washington and Kevin White logging serious playing time.

A hard re boot 🥾 is necessary.

Didn’t the Pels fire Van Gundy after ONE season?

Dennis Allen is in over his head. He ain’t it. His record is who he is.

This team is bad.

- The Ravens defense looks a ton better with Roquan at MLB. Of all the trades that went down, that (or the Vikings Hockenson trade) might be the best.
- The offense, especially our running game, is very perfunctory. It lacks in variety and we're not fooling anyone or giving defenses enough to worry about. It just doesn't seem like we're putting the offense in a position to make plays. No Taysom on 2nd and 2 or 3rd and 1, but there he is on 1st and 10 ... grrr.
- The defense played well but eventually got gassed by our offense's penchant for 3 and outs.
- All the stats about our offense being productive is fools' gold. Our 3 wins have been: 1) the Falcons choking, 2) Taysom having the game of his life and 3) Kamara playing an insane game. The offense isn't very fluid and has a lot to figure out.

And these injuries are becoming ridiculous now. Laughable.

Werner, McKoy, Taylor (I think he returned), Davenport.

Anyone else I may have missed?

Even Guido can't pump sunshine into this one.

Looking at how our division is doing in general, the NFC South has become the old NFC East. We're all in a rough place both short and long term.

The league, refs and other teams will do us no favors. They will directly or indirectly try to get Divorce Boy and the Bucs to finish first in the South. We're going to have to do a lot of heavy lifting and split with the Bucs to have any shot.

What QBs will be available in free agency next year?
