Carr sunk to a new low this week but overall Ridder is garbage still. 7:8 TD:INT. As far as I am concerned they can both work on a lot in the CFL or XFL or whatever.

-Just not comfortable with the OC. He has play . makers. He won't commit to the run at all . He calls too many bad plays for the situation. A lot of his routes
take perfect throws and catches to complete.
-Carr is always in the same spot in the pocket. It makes it easier on the defense and tougher on the oline. He holds on to the ball to long. I had rather he throw it away or run and slide for a two yard gain than get sacked.. I would like him to say screw it and play with reckless abandon.
-The defense had better be prepared to stop Pitts from the start. The loss of Lattimore is big.
-The game will most likely come down to a kick. Advantage Atlanta.
-The Saints mindset should be this game is a playoff game. Play with urgency.

I have very little confidence in this team. Even against bad teams. Sorry, I’ve still not seen anything to make me feel good about our chances against anyone.

I even dread winning at this point, because the system will remain in place, that allows a barely mediocre and badly coached team to win a dismal division, and get embarrassed in the playoffs. THIS is not the Saints we want to watch.

Strange times - WHODAT!

I don’t dread winning. I want to see the team perform well and improve. It would make me happy for the light to come on for the coaching as well and the play calls to improve. I’d be fine with the coaches we have if all of this would happen and the team started being a legitimate contender.

I just don’t see it happening.

I always hope for the best. But I have almost zero confidence that the best is what we will see.

I don’t bet. Especially against my team. But if I did, I’d bet against them right now.

WHODAT! I guess…

The general tone is less than optimistic.

Hey Guido! Give us some 'Glass Half Full' pep talk! I need a boost!

Tight game. Former coaches and executives with intimate knowledge.

Sounds simplistic but I think it's ball control, stop the run and turnover battle.

Win by a FG.

This game won’t be close. Even in a rivalry match up.

Falcons have a HC that is possibly worse than ours, no offensive identity & a second tier QB.

Saints by 13 (if not more).
