OBSERVATIONS FROM THE SAINTS LOSS TO THE FALCONS…

Pete Carmichael is the problem. We've been having red zone problems all year, this isn't new. He doesn't know how to call plays in the red zone. I wouldn't be surprised if most of our touchdowns came from outside of the red zone. I don't know the stats, but Pete Carmichael flat-out sucks. I feel more confident with our team on the other teams 40 yd line than the 20 yd line, there is something wrong with that.

Not sure if Jimmy Graham was another "healthy" scratch, but you cant tell me he is a worse option than absolutely, anything we've put on the field in the last several weeks in the red zone. It's just painful seeing the futility week to week.

You made a great play.’ It is what it is. It sucks to have that happen."

At NO time did he own his bad decision, rather that the defender made a "great play"? This is this guy's mentality...

As a side note: Have we ever seen him take responsibility for poor decisions? Or is it always him ranting at his receivers on the sidelines? Inquiring minds want to know.

Rashid wasn’t catching that ball, it was thrown 5 yards behind him.

Wait for the JT OSullivan’s breakdown of Carr vs Atlanta.

This guy is throwing hospital passes (see Olave) & terrible reads (pick 6).
Too bad the substitute teacher won’t make changes (bench his a**). INSANITY .

At least Jameis can score points in the RED ZONE..

Now we face a pissed off Detroit team on Sunday.

Derek Carr has been a HUGE disappointment in New Orleans.

Good video of Ditka after a loss to the Falcons. At least he is honest.

I'd rather have this 5-11 Ditka with the accountability and self-loathing than the out of touch facade that Mickey, DA and Carr are giving us right now!

Just a thought, but could a substance abuse problem explain his performance the last two years? Vegas can be a place where a guy can pick up bad habits if he is dealing with a lot of frustrations and stress.

I was talking to a guy yesterday about the Saints and he said that Carr is terrified of NO because of all the voodoo and the like.

Sounds like a shot at DA's auto-response to me.

If no one gets fired after this game, I will have lost a lot of respect for the management of this team.

They need to have a players only meeting in the end zone instead of conference room B. All the talk is platitudes. With our QB, our receivers, our running backs, our pass rush, the expectation needs to be that if a player does not produce in the first half another player needs to be given opportunity in the second half. I don't care if its Cam Jordan or Chris Olave or Derek Carr. There need to be consequences. People say that a dog is man's best friend. As a head coach, Dennis Allen is both. But you can't win and be every players best friend, you need to establish competition and reward the players who are hungry. Dennis Allen is not capable of that.
