Probably his last... we'll see.

Still not bad for a guy SP didn't want to draft, among other LSU players.
Still don't understand why SP gave up on Al Woods.

This isn't the 1980's.

Players like Mathieu, Demario, and Cam train year round and are in better shape than ever. PFF has Mathieu ranked as their 10th best safety in the entire league for the 2024 season.

No. In the 80s there was hope ahead for a Championship Season, even if it came 30 years later. Here in 2024, we’re seriously looking at a slow and humiliating burn into total obscurity, and the inevitable death of a franchise and a whole culture. I don’t think you have any idea of what’s actually at stake here.

The first 6 games of 2024 should give us the answer.

The best indicator of future performance is past performance. I get why you're down on the likelihood of a winning season.

Fortunately the franchise made changes. TBD if they were enough to succeed.

Our only choice is to wait and see how they pan out.

We have a lame HEAD COACH, and a throwaway DUD for a Quarterback. The franchise made changes to the window dressing in a building that has no electricity.

Hurts, Dak, Hebert, Cousins & Baker TWICE & of course the league MVP.

That pass rush better be good.

Absolutely. 4-2 with 3 division wins and an upset sets the team up pretty good. 1-5 and looking bad in the process sinks the season. I'm still evaluating 3-3 with 3 division wins.

It’s like you’re throwing cards up in the air every season to see where they fall, while you’re surrounded by genius poker players. Seems to be the prevalent accepted fan culture of the current Saints. Sad.
