I wish I had your optimism bro. But I just haven’t seen anything to give me any confidence in this team getting anywhere close to its potential.

That said, I feel like this same team would be much better with another head coach and OC.
We need a new Head Coach.

I wonder what Andy Reid could do with this team? Or even Payton?

I wonder what Tom would do were he alive, or Gayle if she watched the games.

Some hate to hear the truth from Matt Moscona.
And I agree on his points regarding Carr & the Saints defense. It's average at best.

Re: OBSERVATIONS FROM THE SAINTS LOSS TO VIKINGS (Halftime Edition)

I see Carmichael's biggest issue is trying too hard the diversify the offense thinking he has to use all of his players, especially at RB. Perhaps it's his script. A perfect example was our first possession of the 2nd half.

1st & 10 Kamara off left tackle for 7 yards
2nd & 3 Jamaal Williams off right guard for 2 yards
3rd & 1 Jamaal Williams (again) up the middle for no gain
4th & 1 we are forced to punt

What the hell? Feed the ball to Kamara as long as he's moving it. We just came out of the halftime and Kamara is fresh. What's the point of bringing in Jamaal at that point? Carmichael far too often abandons what is working to stick to some sort of script at the beginning of games and the second half. I can see scripting until you find a successful tendency at the beginning of games, but use what you learn. Be flexible.

Carmichael makes everything harder than it really is. If this team had any sense he'd be fired during the bye and you'd see him ringing the Salvation Army bell at Wal Mart in a few weeks. And he'd probably turn that into a debacle too.

Notice how the Bills aren't scared to make a coaching change when they see an issue with their offense.

Dennis Allen is happy with the team being mediocre so he can just continue saying "we need to be better"

See, the problem is that you’re talking to Fans, when you should be talking to Ownership, by cancelling your subscription to season tickets until this broken mess is fixed.
