Observations from Saints loss to Raiders in the Superdome

Ah a good season or 3 of losing 12 or more games is like natures forest fire.

It just burns up and gets rid of all the older less cap friendly guys and leaves room for some younger talent while the team gets a fresh set of coaches.

It also burns out all the fake fans who will start following other clubs because the Saints suck again and won’t be that fun to watch.

It might be ugly, but sometimes it’s necessary.

The pendulum can only be held back so long before it swings full. And it’s coming.

Exciting times are ahead!

Truth in that
Its just if Loomis allows it to happen or if he tries to delay it again and leave the team in 6-8 win pergatory. But if you get the right people in and scout well you can turn things around pretty quick. Hopefully one 2026/27 drafts will have a good crop of QBs because nothing turns a franchise round quicker than a QB on a rookie deal

You could have written that three years ago, and it would be true. Now it’s just funny. See you here next week? Or is it “next year”? Or maybe a couple or several years after that? Or for as long as old lady Benson sticks around? LMFAO
