Re: Observations from the Saints Loss to Packers
We may have gotten the 2022 version of Carr, he has struggled the entire year so far. But with that said, seems to have a big edge over Winston when it comes to game management. Had he not gotten hurt, I would have to think Carr at least is able to eat a little more time off the clock to prevent the Packers from coming back in the end.
Shame on Grupe for missing an easy 46 yard field goal to give the Saints another chance. As bad as Winston looked, to his credit he did at least get the team in position to take a late lead. The front line was so bad that Peat may have gotten his job back. At least for a short while when he came into the game things seemed to settle down. It's hard to say why this group is struggling so bad, even Ram isn't playing up to his usual level. Play calling is very suspect, Miller and Jones wasn't exactly lighting it up, but was getting steady yards. And with a front line struggling so bad, where is the screen passing game? OK, so Kamara isn't playing, maybe some WR screens or something? As for a temporary replacement QB to fill out the roster, I would go Josh Johnson. I know that sounds crazy, but he may be the only guy available who can at least run out of the pocket to avoid some of the pass rush. Maybe Taysom Hill needs to start over Winston for the same reason? |

Re: Observations from the Saints Loss to Packers
With a struggling oline, more roll outs & slants would be nice.
The screen game has been almost nonexistent. And not just this season either. Help out your QB - no need to have our guy sitting back taking shots when you see we are struggling in those trenches. That’s a coaching problem >Pete Carmichael. |

Re: Observations from the Saints Loss to Packers
I mulled over this last night and Pete has to go. We have too many weapons on offense that were already on this team to be bad and pedestrian like.
The difference in this game was GB kept attacking downfield and spreading our defense out. Eventually it payed off. If our o-line can’t protect the pocket then move it! I’m tired of watching this anemic offense then watching other games. We played against a decimated team yesterday and it was pathetic. I don’t know if they are trying to make Carr play like Brees but they need to realize that Brees is gone! They will not create that same magic again. Use Carr and Winston for their strengths and score some points! Watching this offense so far this season is like watching paint dry. Seeing all these other teams create explosive plays makes my blood boil because I know we have the weapons to do that as well. Don’t get me started on our RedZone offense… |

Plus as soon as he got things going they pull him for Hill and MT gets a hold call that sets them back. Not to mention the WR forgot the plays cause several of them were running the incorrect routes.
This was a coaching failure in the 4th quarter of epic proportions. |

Re: Observations from the Saints Loss to Packers
New system. New coaches. New teammates. I don't care what you think, thigs were going to start slowly for Carr. Which they have to an extent and we've gotten what many of us expected - a Top 15ish QB.
Bottom line though is the O line has put him in jeopardy more often than should be professionally acceptable. All of them. Every single first round pick out there has let him down and they should be embarrassed. Coaches too |

Receivers are also running the wrong routes. 3. The run was abandoned in the 2nd half. I believe there were 21 passes called vs 9 runs. I believe Pete want to try and take advantage of Alexander being out but O-line couldn't provide the time and also see receivers running wrong routes. 4. 4 man rush couldn't get home and to me it looked like Werner was being used as a spy on Love which opened up short passes to RB's out the backfield. Defense got tired in 4th qtr due to 3 and outs. This is what i saw. |

Re: Observations from the Saints Loss to Packers
Landon Young ... poor technique & sloppy footwork.
Gotta do better this. QB had no shot. Saints allowed 4 sacks for 29 yards lost on the day . |
