Yeah, on one play Olave and Thomas both ran an out, about 3 yards away from each other.

Olave just turned around and saw Thomas catch it, then just watched him go upfield. Definitely didn't look designed that way.

Re: Observations from the Saints Loss to the Bucs

I get the sense that DA is starting to lose the locker room and the team morale is starting to dissolve in a way we haven't seen since pre-Haslett. Last year the team trusted DA out of consideration that Payton had left and that there wasn't much time to react. This year that benefit of the doubt is gone.

Prolly a more astute observation that you realize ...

And since DA's contract is still top secret, if he even has one , speculations will continue to unfold.

The coaching was bad last year. It’s way worse this year. The fact that we just “keep doing what we’re doing”, is pathetic.

Solid rant by Matt. SOLID. Most don't want to believe it though.

Re: Observations from the Saints Loss to the Bucs

Scary part is that we really hadn't faced "legit", "contending" teams yet. The Bucs are trash but embarassed us at home.

Patriots are equally terrible, QB play is terrible & they will be without two (Judon & Gonzalez) of their best defensive players on Sunday ... coaches are good though.

Toss up on Sunday tbh.

Re: Observations from the Saints Loss to the Bucs

On Sunday Chris Olave was held to single-digit receiving yards for the first time in his career, finishing with a single 4-yard reception on 5 targets. Michael Thomas didn’t catch his second pass from Carr until there were six minutes left in the third quarter. Carr funneled a ton of passes to Alvin Kamara (who caught all but one of his 14 targets), but they went nowhere, gaining just 33 yards.

Yikes!

Good for him! There is too much negativity on the board right now. Deservedly so, though. But the sun is still shing. Doom and gloom......

It's probably just a poor design by PC.
