He executed the same as everybody else does in Carmichael’s offense.

I guess we’ll get Sean Payton back after he gets fired in a couple more weeks.

I think it was more that they stayed on the field so much cause the offense couldn't give them time to rest. If we only had a QB that could pick up some first downs, we'd have won that game.

When this team is healthy, we are one of the best in the league so I know good things are going to come if Carr returns, so that's the only thing I'm really worried about.

This has been a relatively healthy squad & the O hadn’t really done much before Carr’s injury.

It’s more of a coaching issue for us.

Carmichael shouldn’t be calling plays. Rasheed had no targets today.

No creativity to get the ball in the hands of a playmaker.

That’s insane to me.

Maybe Gruden should have stuck around longer at camp 🤷🏼.

Easiest schedule in the league and games have been decided by 1 or 2 points every week.

Derek had some great plays, but it's not like we've just lost Brees. Don't get me wrong, I want him back as the starter, but let's not pretend the offense was setting the world alight with him, because they weren't.

O line will make or break this team, and currently they are doing the latter.

Yeah obviously our dominating 1 point victory over the 7-10 Titans and 3 point victory over the 7-10 Panthers are equally impressive to the Dolphins 70-20 win over Denver, the Cowboys 40-0 win over the playoff Giants, and the 49ers 3-0 record with 30 points every game and a combined 48 point margin of victory. If we just had Penning, Hurst, McCoy, Ruiz, and Ramczyk healthy, NFC rivals like Nick Bosa and Michael Parsons would be be quaking in their boots. They probably just wouldn't even show up, much less even touch Carr behind that inpenetrable steel curtain. No doubt we are elite in a class of our own. Just need Roaf and Evans to come back at 100%.

Saints have 4 former 1st rounders on the current O line 😳.

And they’ve sucked BADLY 3 weeks straight.

Coaching (Marrone & Pete) is a problem on Metarie Drive.

And… Dennis Allen will be the next Lombardi. He just needs three or four more years to develop a style.

At least the Panthers AND Falcons lost today.

Hopefully the Bucs lose tomorrow night vs Philly.
