There seems to be a predictable rhythm going:

Carr plays horrible -> Carr plays nominally better -> Carr takes a hard hit and gets knocked out of the game -> Carr comes back next week and plays abysmal because he's still banged up -> (Back to step 1)

I'm requoting my own post. I was right on Monday ... back when most everyone else said we were going to see Jameis.

Like others are saying ... slow motion car crash.

You do realize there are several levels of concussion measurement, right? The bar is set incredibly low allowing entrance into the protocols with the vaguest of parameters. The league is covering their butts. Once again, it isn't the team or the players that gives the clearance. It is the league.

Yesterday felt like the last gasp of a dying man.

If you (head substitute teacher) can't win games with that cupcake 2023 schedule, you've earned the right to be fired. Especially with the roster assembled.

These coaches still approach the game as if it's 2012 and Brees is under center.

And you better draft a QB too. Big picture, Derek Carr ain't it. Lacks pocket presence, limited in his mobility (hence the sacks) & isn't a leader.

It starts and ends with the Saints front office though.

Fire everybody and bring in people from outside this stale organization to right the ship.

NFL Network featured the Lions stud rookie TE Sam LaPorta.

So far he has 64 receptions, 680 yards and 6 TD.

That's 3'x the production of our trio TE (JJ, Moreau and I rest on Wednesday Jimmy G) thus far.

Saints would be crazy not to make a move on Ben Johnson this off season. But I guess you have to get rid of the substitute teacher first.

#45 for the Saints is covering no one like he is in High School. Goodness gracious.

Notice the creativity, misdirection (see the Jameison Williams TD) & pre snap motion by Ben J's offense & subsequent score.

With the talent we have on offense, any reason why we can't replicate that in the redzone?

I stopped drinking during Saints games. It was just too hard on my liver. Oh well, it's had a nice long break so, I'll probably go on a bender if we lose!
