Observations from the Saints defeating the Giants 14-11

We are bad.

Halo · 12-08-2024, 05:41 PM

What is the short term (1 year) plan for this team?
What is the 3 year plan for this team?

If getting to the Superbowl and winning "Championships" is the goal, "preserving" this aging team and talking about any "window" that has frankly passed long ago, will never fulfill any goals.

Celebrating .500 or less seasons is not a winning strategy.
This team is not "GROWING", it's AGING and weakening and many key positions require depth and turnover, especially on defense.

Also, if Coach Rizzi is such a great Special Teams coordinator, why is our Special Teams play so poor? Field goals, punts, punt returns, kickoff returns - all of them have been poor this season and the last few seasons.

Would it be out of the question to bring in Jared Stiham for the rest of the year?

Saints brass take note:

2 pages of discussion on one of the best (if not the best) Saints forums that exist after a Saints WIN. I remember coming here after wins or losses and seeing 20+ pages of discussion, so interest is WAY DOWN.

This ain't cutting it - changes need to be made. None of us are heading for the exits to become 49ers fans, but a lot of us will vote not to vote by holding onto our dollars and not handing them over to see this #%$! show

You have been warned - now off your keisters and make this team a winner again.

Halo and I talked about this in the Live chat yesterday. That section of the site used to be popping. Yesterday it was just us talking about parachute pants.

I mean…parachute pants were an absolute enigma. They were so weird and were popular for a very short time.

I had some….I mean I knew a guy that had some that had crawfish print on them.

Bryan Bresee had his career game. Topping his "I-will-sacrifice-every-play" to get his usual one sack with a match-winning blocked FG. It woulda gone down in folklore had it been 1990 and we beat the Rams. However there is a time and place fopr everything, and it neither is the time or place for his plays to be folklore. But enkjoy the memory Mr Bresee. In time, I hope, I will look back and amile.

Is this game the portent for good things will be coming. Here we are winning on THAT blocked FG and I think rightly some are enjoying the maximum they can in the moment. A precident for winning in a most improbable way against still a 2-win team this term is the AFC powerhouse Kansas City Chiefs. Turn your clocks back to November 29. Kansas City beat Las Vegas Raiders (2-10) by 2 points when, in sight of a possible winning FG, the Vegas center botched the snap to end the game.

In this world today, after so many decades of good and bad, both with the Saints and life generally - I say celebrate what is given. I would have been disappointed if our coaches and players were NOT animated with any success.
