Observations from the Saints win vs Patriots

[quote=hitta;982790]I think the only thing keeping this team from its Superbowl aspirations is bad HCing and horrible playcalling. Dennis Allen does a great job with the defense, but he's not a head coach. He's too in his head, overthinks things, plays probabilities, etc. Being a head coach requires you to have a pulse on the team, which he lacks completely. The playcalling is still horrible regardless of whether it was effective today. Carr can throw the football though, and hopefully, some people will get off his back a bit.[/QUOTE

The announcers were really ragging on the play calling yesterday. it was good enough to put up points but there were a lot more available that we left out there.

Haener is on suspension but I imagine he's studying really hard and taking notes to talk about with the coaches when he's back.

That's discipline. Coaching.

Sorry but Allen and Carmichael aren't off the hook with me beating a non contender on yesterday. Clean up that pre snap stuff immediately.

Beating the more difficult teams/contenders won't be this easy with those bone headed penalties.

There are no repercussions for repeating the same mistakes again and again. That's on coaches to fix. If thy can't fix it then it's time to look at other options for inspiration besides Alvin Kamara.
