Re: If we would Fire Gibbs........

Why? So they could look just as bad with our rent-a-defense out there?

Get talent, get results!!

I forgot he did suck in College. The Saints and their desperate choices they make sometimes.

Not so scary, if the offense was not very good, the defensive numbers would have not looked so bad. The reason is opposing teams would have gone more conservative. That was a point I was trying to make to folks about the Raiders of 06. People thought they had a halfway decent defense in that 2-14 season, I pointed out that the offense was so bad teams did not take many chances. The Saints can score quick and in bunches, so teams had to take more shots against the Saints defense, and it was really bad. Amazing how stats can sometimes be misleading...

I believe our D is only a handful of players (4) away from being a solid (top 10) unit. Gibbs should pan out.

Re: If we would Fire Gibbs........

Is it me or is the Saints offense hit and miss too?

about 1 TD out of every 100 - 3 and outs.

I guess that's what you get when you throw the ball so much.

there's only two options, 3 and out, or instant score.

No, I don't agree. I think you're being harder on them than they deserve. There were many, many 8+ minute drives this year. I think the offense is fine. Put a half-respectable defense next to them, and we're in the playoffs.

Put a good defense next to them - and we could be in the Superbowl.

agreed! We are capable of scoring 17 points against great teams but when you give up 30 against even poor teams we stink! We lose. We need a plan/a scheme and the one currently deployed by GIBBS SUCKS doesn't work in High school, didn't work in College and isn't working in the pro's. Is there a reason why Gibbs left Dallas and suddenly the D got better???

Geez anyone would be an improvement over Gibbs he doesn't get it. Its not D he is playing its something else that just doesn't work.
