Re: Saints set to have first losing season since 2016; so, what went wrong?
Excuses excuses excuses. Your job is to build a winnable coaching team. Roster depth is apart of that. Next man up mentality can't happen if people don't believe the next man....Injuries are apart of the game. Losing players is a part of the game Proper preparation prevents poor performance. Steelers have always been good with having "starters in waiting" Chiefs lost players, Ravens lost players, Titans even started Malik once or twice, San Fran has played 3 different QBs. Everyone situation varies but everyone is impacted by Injuries nonetheless some teams Buccaneers had little to fall off in FA look at them. Excuses Excuses Excuses. Coaching is what failed this team. Decision making is what failed this team. Poor off-season acquisitions failed this team. The standard of Daints football dropped off alot. Players aren't sold and it shows. Is coaching the only issue? Absolutely not. It's definitely the biggest flag imo. If Andy was playing B+ or better football and the Defense was absolutely failing him wouldn't have no issues with him starting. Don't care about no PR or any of that you need QB that's going play mistake with in an offensive system or go out there and win you games. He does neither. Andy gets all the excuses in the world you guys were on Jameis so hard no slack when he was 5-2 , but support Andy from Toy story with his pitiful record. Tom Brady 4qtr comeback against just shows if there is an opportunity who's going to take it? Andy isn't that guy....Justin Fields beat him out of job who I don't believe is better but he's a PLAYMAKER has game changing tendencies. Andy is just there

You believe if this team were fully healthy they would be what? Team was pretty healthy first 3 games of the season, oh wait those were Jameis fault. Ok let's go week 4 and beyond. Show me the game where injuries were the SOLE cause...I'll wait for the answer or the deflection. I'll propose another question show me game we lost where coaching wasn't a factor in it. Playcalling was on Point players just couldn't make plays and some of you guys favorite #TheRefs

The remaining players have failed to execute over and over again on plays that would have resulted in 1st downs and touchdowns. We lost games with Olave and Landry both out, as well. We've been without 3/5th's of our starting offensive line for much of the season. We've been missing our best CB virtually the entire season leading to young or over the hill replacements blowing coverage or committing stupid penalties. Etcetera, etcetera, ... |
