Lutz missed a kick in both games so far and like was said earlier the Brees fumble coupled with those misses killed us but Lutz is growing at his position and we shouldn't put so much pressure on the newby to win games.

Lutz has missed but he has missed from long range and with a line thats not blocking well.

Im not sure if blame him for any of the misses. Going from 50 yards is a hit and miss affair anyway.

I've always been in favor of getting everyone out of the box to run the ball.
But running the ball still requires the O-line to man up.
Pitch count Sunday was 44-and-13.
Lack of a run game is systemic.
No desire coming from the top.
High scoring affair or defensive battle, it doesn't even matter.

We are not going to the playoffs. Wake up, we cant even have a winning season for 3 years or have won a game this year. Every team in the NFL is 3-7 pts from being a loser. There are no excuses w lose against the falcons its over. I watched Brees after the game and in interview. he is done with the faith thing and almost done.

Funny thing is the Saints roster is pretty much already built like a run and shoot team would look like 25 years ago. Quick release QB, quick good hands receivers. I like the idea, but that offense got figured out and is probably why no one uses it at the NFL level anymore.

Cutting spiller is a wash... he wouldn't be available to play because of injuries.

My question is:

Is this the first official our season is over with where do we begin now threads?

I say start Manhertz feel like he would make the most out of his opportunities , liked what he showed in the Pre-season

More playing time for Stephone Anthony, I'm putting this stupid decision squarely on Payton

Payton isn't the problem. The problem is no one is there to reign him in.
