Re: Well it's over guys
i wanted to get more 0- lineman in this years draft, drew was getting hammered last season but mostly everyone wanted defense, which i knew of our turrable defense but still hardheaded like i am i wanted to protect our hof qb. drew was never a running qb and o-line should have been on front burner, fairley , i knew would restart his career with us, so saved a draft pick there.

Re: Well it's over guys
As of today:
Total points given up: 77 (32) Points per game: 25.7 (32) Rushing yrds per game: 95.0 (13) Total passing yards: 769 (31) Passing yards per game: 265.3 (27) and Yards per game: 365.3 (25) This is going to be a LONG painful season AGAIN. People can say, Oh we aren't showing the real stuff yet. It's vanilla, blah blah blah. Well, so is everyone else. Our scrubs are playing their scrubs and our scrubs are getting OWNED. I don't know how you strike a balance between a stellar O and/or stellar D. But it can be done. Denver won the damn SB last year with a 3rd ranked D and an O that was ranked 15 ish or higher in Offensive categories. So I'm not buying into any more bull**** from Payton or Loomis about, this is best for this, this is best for that. Get your heads out of your collective asses and take some chances, REAL chances and find the right people. People that have been playing in this league for 20 years were great players for their former teams (James Laurinaitis) for one. But good God, they were let go for a reason. Please quit picking these people up! And Jarius Byrd, holy crap! I'll be honest. I drink a few beers when I watch the games so I don't catch every play. But I honestly don't recall ever seeing him do ANYTHING EVER, in the 5 plays I've seen him in since being here. Like I said above. A LONG season looms. Here we go again. Hope you can score 50 a week Drew. |

Re: Well it's over guys
Rick Venturi is the color commentator for the preseason Colts TV games and is on talk radio all the time. Listening to him you wonder with all his knowledge how did he compile a 2 - 19 NFL coaching record? Reminds me of Matt Millen before he became the GM at Detroit (we all know how that went) Knew EVERYTHING!!!!

Re: Well it's over guys
OK I haven't read all posts but let's chill a second. The offense will be good if not great. It ALWAYS is. If the D can be mediocre, we can win the bowl. Preseason is meaningless. In the Saints horror years we always looked great in preseason. Haslett won all his preseason games. I still believe. I admit I can't predict a Championship but I'm still optimistic. Brees is the QB. If some of the WRs we hot can produce and the D can improve, even later in the season, we could do it. WHO DAT!

Re: Well it's over guys
Is the offense as good as it was. Every keeps saying top 3 or 4. Thats going off yards which is meaningless. The offense is good but hasn't been great since 2012
Total points scored 2012 3rd, 461 points 2013 10th, 414pts 2014 9th, 401pts 2015 8th, 408pts Compare that to 2009 and 2011 Great offenses of 516 and 547 points. |

So, in conclusion, Brees is the QB. The offense will be fine.
