Observations from Saints loss at Bucs
 

Saints loss another low energy 2nd half game to the Buxs. Good news, the season is over.

Post your observations here!!

Baker scrambling out of the pocket was the biggest difference. There were plenty of game changing moments but our defense’s inability to contain the QB was key.

Warm up the plane and put Spencer in first class. There are some coaches and players that need to find their own way home.

Allowing Mike Evans to gain those five yards at the end of the game was embarrassing.

Another season… Saints Fans are GREAT. Saints, not so much. At all.

Klint Kubiak ... don't think he is the right person calling offensive plays.

Zero half time adjustments today & most of the season.

Kinda explains the results today. A tale of 2 halves.

Saints need all new coaches on Airline Dr. A clean slate.

Allowing or not preventing Evans from tying Rice’s record was smart. Our season was over, the game was over, and now the Bucs have $3 million less in future salary cap money in the future that does matter. $3 million is meaningful, it is a year of a player like Johnson, Moreau, Lutz, or some special teams ace or WR3/4 who could make a difference. Also its Jerry Rice’s record that got tied, and its not like Jerry Rice was any friend of the Saints. And its an 11 year 16-17 game record so nobody will care or remember that the last game was against us. Plenty of Rice’s yards were against us too. And nobody remembers who the 1000th yard in the 11th season for Rice was against, maybe us too? Plus Evans only tied the record and he needed 17 games to do it so that breaks the tie in Rice’s favor. Overall if we could cost our division rivals $3 million by allowing their #1 WR 85 yards in a way that did not effect the outcome of the game, I would do it every game. I wish there was a way we could have allowed 85 yards to London and Thielen and cost the Falcons and Panthers $3 million too.

Asking for clarity, how does that cost the Bucs money? Is it tied into a bonus?

Re: Observations from Saints loss at Bucs
 

Yes it was tied to a $3 million bonus for Evans to reach 1,000 yards this season.

Thanks!

Just picture Rob Schneider on The Waterboy yelling "Oh no, we suck!" That's how I feel these days watching Saints games. I have just checked out. I watch the games but I no longer let it affect my blood pressure. In fact, while the team has been doing so terribly I have actually cut back on my drinking. I know it seems like I am going against the natural order of watching your team lose.

Actually, not expecting them to win kind of takes a lot of stress off. Either I'm happily surprised or got what I expected.

Re: Observations from Saints loss at Bucs
 

I kind of checked out after about the 5th loss in a row before DA got fired. I cared and wanted them to win, but my expectations were low.

Towards the end I just wanted to see the young QBs have a shot and see what they had. I didn’t expect them to win anything.

Hell I forgot to even check the score of the Bucs game until after it was over. I was outside working on taking down a fence and moving a shed.

I just wanted to be on record for saying, “thanks boys. As always I enjoyed watching each game. This season started off as a roller coaster. That was exciting far more lows than highs. Wound up being a bit of a parachute freefall, but we have endured worse seasons I will be back next year to watch every game.”

Like this year, I don't plan on watching much NFL next year. The constant social justice pandering and "gambling" have turned me off exponentially. To top it all off, Mickey Loomis has placed a turd in my Saints punchbowl.
I'm glad that you can still enjoy it. For me, it's like a good friend that has changed for the worse and isn't going to revert back to being the good friend he once was.
