THIS THURSDAY
 

Y’all have to admit that IF we somehow pull off a win AT HOME, against the favored JAGS, it would be a freaky anomaly, based on what we’ve seen, and a whole lotta fun for us… and yes, I am officially classified as a Negasaint since last year, when I was begging for DA to go back to what he was doing before, and allow a more competent and characteristic Head Coach to lead this team. I didn’t complain about our ongoing sketchy QB situation, injuries, penalties, or any of the factors that contributed to our losing, but the FIRE was/is missing, except from a few truly amazing Players (who are not being properly utilized/coached)… and that makes me mega-nega.

That being said, NOTHING would make me happier than seeing my Saints play more inspired football consistently, and put me back on my low dose aspirin and cigarettes to ride the crazy rollercoaster that used to be Saints Games.

Let the record state: I WANT US TO WIN… or at least keep the game interesting while we rebuild.

WHODAT!

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

Just don't tell management we're rebuilding. It triggers them!

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

HA!!! :roflmao:

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

Rebuilding??? We haven’t even fired the problems yet and the owner needs to know they lose revenue everyday with this 💩 happening!!!

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

What lost revenue? Sold out for the year. The dome has been packed so far this season. I know. I've been there and will be there tomorrow. :confused:

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

Ticket sales are not most of the revenue! Do some homework! No one wants to wear a losing teams merchandise! If you hurt your possible future fan base that’s revenue!!!

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

The league shares that revenue. That's the catch and why all teams make money regardless of how they are doing in any given year. That said, I'm buying my merchandise whether we are 17-0 or 0-17. I buying because it is my team and I am a fan.

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

Like I said that is existing fans and not future ones! Wake up!!!

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

Um. Maybe you should wake up, Cher. I repeat, merchandise sales are shared revenue among all 32 franchises. Team X fans can buy 100,000 jerseys and Team Y fans can buy 10, but both franchises get the same 1/32 share of the total.

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

Translation: We need a new Head Coach.

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

With the short week it made sense not to make any coaching moves. If we win, great. If we lose big, a 10 day break is a great time to make a coaching change.

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

I’d LOVE a freaky and amazing win. It would just sweeten the work week for me. But a loss, and another (yawn) presser by DA, 10 days off, and then more of the same… I dunno …

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

I'm all for moving off of Carmichael.

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

That’s like throwing one deck chair off the Titanic so that when it hits the iceberg, it makes a little less noise.

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

Bump ...

Andrus Peat will replace Hurst @ LT and Cam Erving will be elevated from practice squad to play RT.

Trevor ... back to the bench.

Man he (TP) must be really, really bad :(.

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

Good grief. What a mess.

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

a fool and his money are soon parted. :beatnik:

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

You don’t think losing hurts that overall pot that is split 32 ways? 😂 National TV Revenue and Tickets sales might be shared, but stadium naming rights, local concessions, local merchandise, parking or a few others are not! You can’t think that losing doesn’t hurt these numbers! I’ve been awake since 1967!!!

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

Man I miss seeing my team play four quarters of inspired football…

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

I feel bad that Drew had to witness that in person.

Bet he was deciphering the defense pre-snap in his head, only for the outcome to be completely different to what he would have done.

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

Man we were BLESSED for a while there…

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

Literally.

I massively took it for granted because he made it look so normal.

I'm seeing plays Carr and the offense didn't make, where Brees would have recognised coverage, pumped to move the D and then come back opposite side to Shaheed for a huge gain.

He made it look so routine.

The coaches need to go but man, Carr is missing some reads and throws too. Accuracy seems to be an issue.

Throws too low one play, too high the next.

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

I'm no expert but is Carr throwing with his eyes closed?

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

6 games in, I’m not impressed with DCarr at all.

Too many sideline reporters are saying the same thing. “Holding on to the ball too long & he’s not throwing WRs open”.

He missed a WIDE OPEN Shaheed in the back of the end-zone … twice.

That make shift oline gave him time.

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

O line wasn't as bad as I thought they'd be last night.

Re: THIS THURSDAY
 

Carr had all the time he needed.

Pete C definitely needs to go, but I honestly think Carr is part of the problem now too.

He throws with no anticipation. He doesnt go through reads, he zeros in on one receiver.
Throws being too low one play and then too high the next.
Taking forever to release the ball so coverage gets tighter.

Throws deep on 3rd and 5, but short on 3rd and long.

If this season is truly lost, I think the rookie QB should see some time.

A loss is a loss, and we are great at losing. So what's the worst that could happen.
