5-11 to 7-9

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Harper said the team played without fire or passion. Thats a lot more worrisome to me than a couple holes here and there on the roster. Has Payton lost that fire?...

I think he lost it after 2013. I just don't see the passion and fight in him anymore.

I believe Payton should be firmly on the hot seat, another losing season is not acceptable, anything less than a playoff appearance and I'd start looking at life after Sean.

If he gets fired I would get rid of all his cronies to. Bill Cowher would be my choice as HC.

I don't think SP lost the fire, I think he has lost the ability to have the team respond

Im fully with this. Not been the same since the suspension. I sadly think its time to move on,but move on everywhere including a owner. Both Benson age and family issues mean he isnt running the team like needed and Loomis is on a very long leash for a man that has drafted so poorly and though a great bean counter has given out terrible contracts.

If the playoffs are not made id want change all round the coaches,front office and even Brees as if the team is blown up you may aswell take that step too. That $25ml a year could pick you up a pair of guards,pay Unger and get pay a good chunk of another top piece.

You give a above average QB a line like(two good guards) Armstead-G-Unger-G-RT and weapons like Cooks,Snead,Thomas and Ingram and they'll do well enough

We haven't even played a game yet. The season hasn't even started.

this preseason does not sit in isolation. It isn't like we were 9-7 and then 10-6 the last two seasons and there is reason for optimism. We have been bad two years in a row without an ounce of improvement. the oline is the worst it has ever been here, the worst. People saying these things without playing a game are because we have the last two seasons to go off coupled with this preseason.
