The current problem in the organization is its refusal to move on from Allen. Campbell takes Goff and makes Detroit a winner. Ryan's takes a rookie QB and a horrible roster and wins in Houston. Allen is THE problem.

We aren't taking care of our own. We are taking care of the Raiders retreads.

No HOF coach in their prime could win it all with this team. We may have talent at some positions like CB and RB but where it really counts we suck. We have a mediocre retread QB who never won a playoff game, a lethargic slow motion pass rush based on the notion that 35 is the new 25, and a makeshift oline bookended by a geriatric left tackle who was forced to play guard in his prime and a right tackle with a degenerative bum knee. You have to win in the trenches or with an elite QB in the this league and the Saints are built to win with everything but those, which just won't work.

With a great coach and an average schedule this team would be about .500. We are about .500 now because the easy schedule and poor coach cancel out.

It matters not how it begins, it only matters how it ends.

We know how it ends
Kicking it down the road and guaranteeing that you can move on from aging vets or players not performing without kicking it down the road again.

All the while being able to feel like you are good enough to be in every game. Good enough to not suffer through multiple seasons of three or four wins like really suck ass franchises. I remember when we knew we had no chance in certain games. Those days are two decades in the past.

Besides, we're not kicking any cans. We're maximizing the cap by accounting for it in later periods when it counts as a far smaller percentage. Smart accounting. In other words, consistent competitive teams for a value enhanced price.

Good Lord
A competitive team isn't one that hasn't made the playoffs in 3 years, or missed the playoffs in 7 of the last 12 years.

We’re competitive against teams that $uck @ss less than us, and that’s Quido’s sad logic. Wait until next year. There will be pain.

But it is a team that has a chance at winning every single game in which they take the field whether they win it or not. Many a competitive team fails to make the playoffs. That is the nature of the NFL. Give me a team that makes the playoffs half the years for the rest of my life I'll be pleased. More would be better, of course, but I have followed this team religiously since they started out making the playoffs only five times in our first 39 years and never wavered. The past 19 years under Loomis have been fantastic and I hope we continue being competitive and win a few more Lombardi's before I kick off.
