Disappointed but not Discouraged

That sentence sums up my take on the season. Trying to rebound from my personal grief I’ll try to add some thoughts. Although I’m not sure people want to hear them.

I am disappointed we did not do better this year. But we had a winning record. We tied with Tampa, who won a playoff game. We lost to Houston who also won a playoff game. We lost to Detroit who is in the NFC championship game. I think the concept of a “soft schedule “ was disproven.

We were competitive in all our games. We got a QB that the coach wanted and we won 2 more games with him than we did the year before. If he is protected I think Carr is as good as Geoff, Baker, Love, or other QBs for playoff teams. He was what was available and the team made a move for him. If we end up sucking and get a top 6 pick we can look then at a QB. But I don’t think that will happen.

Fact is the team has had a win now attitude for many years and while it only brought 1 1/2 Championships it has also brought a team that has won at least 7 games every season for about 20 years. Most other teams (ALL except for one other) has had a 2-5 win season or 2 to get a chance at a high draft pick and reset their cap. The Saints have taken a different rout and decided to not put a ****ty product on the field that would be irrelevant by week 9 of the season. As a fan I appreciate them, not throwing in the towel on any given season. We’ve got a new offensive coordinator coming in, and that shows that they recognized weaknesses.

I guess bottom line is I don’t see the doom and gloom that some others feel. But, obviously time will tell
