Re: We need to go after a big receiver in Free Agency

Please-please-please-please NO big name free agent WR's. The only free agent WR's I would go for are guys who may have been bad fits for other teams that can be had cheap and developed. In other words if there is another Joe Horn type out there, lets go get that guy and leave the big name people alone.

The thing about Calvin Johnson is that he has a huge contract coming to him next season which might make teams shy away ... IDK exactly how all the financials work, but he is set to get paid in 2016. Otherwise, there's no NFL player in history other than Barry Sanders I can honestly say I've enjoyed watching more.

Be nice to see him get a ring & have an elite QB throwing to him, . Golden Tate's not that bad, being on a losing team has given him a little different perspective on life, IMO, .

Re: We need to go after a big receiver in Free Agency

The offense is fine -- Drew put up 38 points against a top defense that is quite probably going to be in the Super Bowl or deep in the playoffs. It's the defense, defense, DEFENSE that is still a dumpster fire, and needs to overhauled from top to bottom.

The last thing we need is drunk Loomis opening Benson's wallet and spending more cap money trying to make a "big splash" in free agency. That's what got us into this mess. Loomis and Payton are like a couple of drunks when it comes to recklessly spending Tom Benson's money, and we don't need to enable them any further.

The way it stands right now, the only way the Saints can ever win, is that Drew Brees needs to score EVERY SINGLE TIME HE TOUCHES THE BALL. Every drive has to be for points, or else we are toast when the other team gets the ball -- that's what happens in almost every game. A single punt or missed field goal, and the game is basically over, 14 points, 21 points it doesn't matter -- we lose any lead we have. The last thing we need is to worry about Drew having to score more points to get a bigger lead.

Notice how many leads we've seemed to simply just fart away this year? We have zero depth. Zero depth at defensive line. Zero depth at linebacker.

Wonder why we're starting 2 rookies at linebacker? No depth at linebacker. Wonder why an UDFA is starting on the defensive line? No depth at defensive line.

Our Front 7 is a hot garbage trainwreck that has blown so many 2nd half leads that it has become common and puts this defense at the bottom of the NFL...but if a Megatron or a D. Thomas will help us score 56, our defense better hold the opponent to 55 next year.

God I hope you are wrong.

OK, yippie, the Saints got LUCKY on a fumble and a 2 point conversion going the other way. The defense is still a complete dumpster fire, any way you look at it! Newton passed for 5 TDs, if you didn't notice!

Re: We need to go after a big receiver in Free Agency

'sign a big WR' 'We need a solid RB' ' Drew needs to go and we should draft Connor Cook'

All these statements are bogus if you believe, like me, NFL games are won and lost in the trenches. The O-line and defensive front 7 are our biggest needs.

Senio, Lelito, Evans, Strief its been fun but you guys need to find employment elsewhere. The Saints need to strengthen the line or it won't matter who we have at the skill positions.

The Dline needs another End that is not a liability in the run game. Then, get rid of Hawthorne and draft a weakside linebacker who can play the run and is decent in coverage.

I know the DBs(mainly Browner) get a lot of flack, and they should because they look lost out there, but Breaux/Lewis/Swann/PJ give me a good feeling about our DBs if only the front 7 could create pressure. Browner needs to go. He can't cover and refs are singling him out with penalties. I don't see the need to draft a CB but a Safety should be high on our list.

There is a lot that needs to be fixed and Brees will NEED to restructure his deal or get traded/released/retire in order to make this team competitive again, but I don't think grabbing a FA skill position is the answer.

Re: We need to go after a big receiver in Free Agency

Saints need to build the offensive and defensive line in free agency and the draft unless someone falls (like Reggie Bush) into their laps who they can't pass on.

I really hope Loomis learned that winning March doesn't mean a thing in December
