OBSERVATIONS FROM SAINTS (PRIMETIME WITH PLAYOFF IMPLICATIONS) LOSS TO THE RAMS

- Carr's accuracy wasn't too bad tonight until it went awry after halftime. And he didn't get the weird jittery thing as much. But he still needs to step up in the pocket, it was wide open all night to step up in the pocket or scramble to salvage the play.
- OL pass blocking wasn't too bad all things considered, but the run-blocking has become a big nothingburger.
- Pass rush was horrid. Granderson was running on fumes on a short week, and Cam is a shell of his former self (with the ankle partially to blame).
- Our block-shedding on run support was terrible. It was never more evident than the Puka run where he broke Adebo's tackle and even with his momentum stopped no one could get off a darn block.
- Lousy vanilla play calls on 4th downs where we needed better calls or just not go for it.
- We don't use near enough motion on our offense.
- Adebo and Jordan Howden and our special teams (punt block) seem to be only bright spots I can think of.

You speak as if any of that matters to ownership. It doesn’t.

Taysom should be starting QB without question.

Nah this is bad. At every level.

Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Terry Bradshaw, (insert your QB here) could not play well behind that O-Line.

I’ve been a Saints fan for over 40 years. Wore bag on my head, was there for first playoff game in ‘87. Was in Chicago for first NFC championship, saw Hakim drop the ball, and the Nola no call. However, I have never been as angry at this team and organization as I am right now. Bree’s and Payton never had a roster this talented in all there years and this bozo coach and stiff at QB can’t even win games with this POS schedule. Horrible, terrible, sickening.

Say it loud… for the Quidos in the back…

O-line is not great no question, however when your QB refuses to move up in the pocket or out of the pocket to avoid some pressure it makes line look that much worse. How many times did Stafford old ass leave the pocket tonight and make throws. Line doesn’t look half bad when your QB can do that.

I’ll take any one of the guys you mentioned TOMORROW, AS IS, with a mannequin on the sidelines as a Head Coach, and that O-line would turn out just fine.
