Thinking abut it deeper, the MT question is not just about MT is it? QB accuracy and play calling weigh heavily into that equation and what we have doesn't move the needle into a favorable direction for me.

You sort of missed my point. To Mapcow, MT13 is all about feelings, and nothing about production. Even if now he was consistent and productive, because of the feelings about the player, he would still be dismissed by some. Nothing else matters.

As for the Saints as a whole, it's all about consistency now. They have the talent. They certainly have the scheme on defense. Carmichael seems to be trying. Injuries haven't been terrible yet. But there just can't be 4th quarters to the Packers, or entire games for the offense to the Bucs. Everyone needs to do their job for 4 quarters each and every game for the team to move where they need to go.

When Brees was here, you could pretty much go into any game knowing the offense was going to put up 20 or more points before the game started. But now, each game offensively is currently a Forrest Gump's box of chocolates. The Saints have to decide offensively if they are going to be consistently explosive or find a way to consistently grind each drive. But the latter cannot have penalties, incompletes, or unproductive runs to be effective. And right now we just haven't seen either on any consistent basis.

It's a thing of beauty when everyone rows together, to the tune of a 34-0 shellacking of the Patriots. But the Saints are not currently the 49ers, which are putting up 35+ points each and every week as an unstoppable juggernaut. Consistency is the difference between the two.

A pattern of repeated behavior. Narcissistic personality disorder.

George (Saintfan) warned us.

You and "George" need to find a quiet place and curl up together.

The dude was ruining every thread on the forum with his childish repeated behavior and he took his ball and went home when told to stop by the mods. The dude had his own major obsessive issues.

AG,

You can go F*** yourself.

You don’t tell anyone when or where to go.

You play with kids, not me.

Then you need to keep your comments to yourself. You choose to talk about me, friend, and I'll sure tell you where you can go. You and your buddy, George.
