Observations from the Saints Loss to the Bucs

10-02-2023, 03:27 PM

There are only 3 teams that have failed to score more than 20 points
in a game this season.

Saints

(2-2)
Patriots (our upcoming opponent 10/8 & 1-3)
Raiders (1-3)

Lots of things went wrong. First off I’ll say Tampon deserves credit. They played well. Mayfield and their WRs showed up. So did their D

Bad Fumble and dropped pass by our FB killed us. It can be argued he shouldn’t have been in the game. Yet Kamara fumbled in key spots last year, so the point is Players have to play. We missed many tackles. We dropped passes. We missed blocks. The coaching was subpar,but the player execution was more so.

Didn't we already have a QB that holds the ball too long ? Jameis has a better long ball too.

The Saints' schedule is easier than last year... and they're struggling. It does not bode well for the remainder of the year. Are we getting a better draft pick from the Broncos in 2024 after all?

What makes it real depressing is that as a Longhorns fan I go from watching Sark's offense (IMO he is one of the top 10 offensive football minds on the whole planet) to whatever the bleep the Saints are doing!

He's average folks. Nothing special.

And it's time for Ronald Curry to take over the play calling.

He can't be any worse right?

Meanwhile this here petition just got started.

Carr's surprising diagnosis and quick recovery were the worst luck these guys have ever had. Their excuse for an entire season melted away in a few days. Now they have what they built and they have to own it and take responsibility. Another significant injury is all they can hope and pray for. If Carr continues to struggle they will try to delay firing Carmichael until the season is over and then offer him as a sacrificial lamb but that might not cut it. People might start asking questions about the salary cap and why we can't move on from Carr and have to resign struggling aging injury prone players to avoid cap hits. Injury is this regime's greatest hope to buy themselves another year.

Let’s call that “subpar” coaching. LMFAO

Anyone else notice the last 2 weeks WR's seem to be running in the same general area? I don't think that's by design.
