Re: Game Day - Opening Day: Oakland Raiders vs New Orleans Saints
On to next week... Where we'll face a QB who threw 6 TD's against us last season and that was WITH Breaux.

They aren't as bad as they were a couple of years ago, but I don't see playoffs for them. And by no means does beating the Saints prove anything. We know how this team plays down to competition virtually every year. I could be wrong about Oakland, but honestly I think we just lost to an average team. |

Re: Game Day - Opening Day: Oakland Raiders vs New Orleans Saints
Neaux, we aren't that lucky...
Where Brees was the greatest free agent signing in the history of the NFL, Byrd is among the worst... When we signed Brees, he nor our front office had many options at quarterback.. In fact, Nick Saban and the Dolphins made the choice for us by trading for Daunte Culpepper, leaving us to take the leftover in Brees... So the Mickster hasn't done a spec job of advising, tempering Payton on personnel moves which is why we're scrambling among UDRFAs to find players... We've wasted picks, combining to move up and then released those players... And it shows in the lack of results from our front seven which is improved, but obviously needs more coaching and probably more talent... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Were they without Osmele?

Its nice to have great WR and RB but not at the expense of the trenches and we are seriously lacking there |
