Vitt shoulders blame for Saints loss

“We didn’t coach well enough to win,” he said. “It all starts with me.

“I’ve got to do a better job of preparing our football team to play better.”

The defeat dropped the Saints to 2-5 going into another prime-time game next Monday at home against Philadelphia (3-4), which has had its own high level of disappointment this season — with in all practicality, any semblance of hope for a fourth-straight playoff season riding on the outcome.

“Losing hurts,” Vitt said. “But you just have swallow it on down, because in the National Football League you cannot let the past dictate the future.

“We’ve had some success here in the past, but you can’t walk around with some sense of entitlement. To a certain extent, you’ve got to have amnesia in this business, because we are playing again Monday on national TV against a pretty good football team in the Philadelphia Eagles.”

Vitt was particularly hard on himself on indecision in play calling.

Expect more of the same:

""It's too late in the year to change schemes. We are what we are and we're going to do what we have taught," Vitt said. "Now that being said, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. "

Godhell needs to shoulder the blame for dismantling the Saints.
The court of public opinion is changing. Facts are coming out no matter how slowly. It's will be proven to be nothing more than a temper tantrum by a rich spoiled child who feels disrespected by our coaches who won't bow to him and his almighty powers.

Yeah because Payton will be back and he won't have to get up on that podium and talk about how bad the team played.
