God I hope not. Brian Flores is a douche.

I don’t know whether Brian Flores is the coach for us but I do know Dennis Allen is absolutely who Stephen Ross was looking for a few years ago.

Starts with the front office. It was a nice run but it’s time to clean house. I’m not sure I trust Loomis to extract maximum value for Payton and utilizing it to rebuild with. Change can be good for everyone. Trading Payton will be single most important decision that will determine the future of our franchise for years to come.

..... and a crap load of money used up on a prima donna.

I am stuck at home and didn't get to see a lick of the game, not even a highlight. But the rushing differential between the Steelers and us tells me all I need to know.

Noticed that too.

My buddy is a Steeler die hard and told me that his team “had NO RUNS over 20 yards all season. Today against the Saints - FIVE (5)”.

Whoa 😳

Very true. I own Najee Harris and it's usually a struggle for him to get to 40 yards rushing a game.

We allowed 99 to him, and pretty much allowed Pickett to rush for the yardage Lamar ran for last week.

Apparently, there were no Saints highlights to see anyway. And as far as the multiple 20+ yard runs, we’re back to being the cure that ails other teams/players. We’ve all heard it before: this QB is still looking for his first win, or hasn’t thrown a TD all year, or this team is looking for their first win. Enter the Saints. Congratulations, Eagles on the first overall pick in next year’s draft! And what do we have to show for it?

I'm bellying up to the table for crow and sausage gumbo soon.

They cannot get out of their own way it seems to even stand a chance.

I sure miss Drew's warrior spirit.
DA needs to watch the game in a suite with Loomis and Mrs.Benson.
Let Jameis call the game with a red sharpie shoved in a visor.

Tick tock...

Observation is: It's not like we weren't anticipating a day (and a season, or two or three ) like this, while Drew was in decline... IF ... our Front Office didn't make the same Observation, which they obviously didn't. This darkness runs deep...
