1. We wanted to run Deuce more? We tried, and he fumbled twice.

2. Give Reggie more touches? We tried that too, he's a featherweight and couldn't get anything done. He too fumbled, and it was luckily recovered by Eric Johnson.

3. Drew Brees turned the ball over as well. How many "good" throws did you see him make? Balls at receiver's feet, balls over their heads, balls batted at the line, and balls thrown behind receivers.

4. Receivers didn't catch the few balls that actually hit their hands (besides Colston, and Moore).

5. The offensive line let too many defenders get to Brees.

6. Special teams...do I even have to go there?

7. Olindo Mare? Some idiot decided to cut John "Money" Carney.

8. Defense. Forced a few 3 and outs, but allowed way too many points. Obviously. I think the offensive impotence leaked into the defense as well.

9. Playcalling. Hey let's pass the ball despite no rhythm whatsoever. (and I'm talking about WAY before we fell behind 200 points).

Overall, this team is out of sync, and someone needs to stand up and take responsibility for one another. Take some pride in your job and smack someone in the mouth. Keep chopping.

Well Said WillieMac. Sean Payton...you look like a one year wonder. I hope you can clean this up before you become Jim Haslett.

And at some point I just want to line Reggie up in the backfield and just keep handing it to him until he gets it. Because I think when he do get it...he'll be one of the top 5 RBs in the league.

Re: Wide Out

They were winning last year with Joe hurt, so it can't be that.

Re: Wide Out

Damn the morale around here sucks. It's a tough division and we played one really good team... and another team that's really tough at home. It's not like we got beat by Derek Anderson and the Browns.

Our schedule looks really tough for the first 8 games. If we can manage to hover around .500, I really believe we're going to string together 3 or 4 wins towards the end of the year.

We'll be okay... and I think we'll finish 9-7 with either a division title or wildcard berth.

Agreed. And they both are playing pitifully.

Re: Wide Out

Moore should be starting. He's earned it as much as Colston earned it last year.

Re: Wide Out

I think wr is a problem. It is important to sustain drives, it is important to catch the ball and keep the defense off the field. It would do wonders for the confidence of the offense to get back on track and they will be explosive.

Re: Wide Out

Joe was hurt alot last year but he had something you cant teach, leadership. Reggie is a great talent, but a "True RB" im not too sure of. IMO part of the problem with the running game is that they cant find a groove. Let Deuce pound the ball 25 times a game. Teams are starting to figure out what we do with Reggie on the field so i think the coaching staff has to regroup and come up with something new. Still really early in the season, hopefully everything will work itself out.


Boy did i open a can of worms with this one.
