Falcons

@ Panthers
vs Colts

I don't see either TB or Atlanta making it through the final four games without at least one loss. Two losses each appears to be very possible.
To honestly look at the Saints’ chances at this point, with all the ridiculous hypothetical scenarios which at best, would result in the painful continuation of a sub-mediocre product being sustained, is to lose sight of the fact that the rest of us are DEMANDING that this team rebuild and restore the satisfaction to the fans who EXPECT to see a WINNING (or at least, a highly competitive) FORMULA on the field.

FOCUS.

I don't think a rebuild is necessary. A targeted re-tooling may be a better option. We have some really good players on this team. Very few holes in my opinion, however one big hole is QB.

I'm also interested to see how Carr would do under a different OC.

Add some speed to the front 7 (especially LB), and a quality free-agent O-lineman and we'll be set to draft BPA when draft time comes.

Rebuild the coaching staff? Hell yeah!

Add more talent to the roster. No need to rebuild.

Y’all can keep talking about bandaids over gunshot wounds all you like. Watch what happens, or more importantly, what doesn’t happen. Gonna be a long while…

Mickey isn't on the player roster. I was referencing the players we have.
