0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Well?

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

at 7-9 mid round pick, sure we always do that

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Gotta admit this year has been a particularly bad run of luck

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Some.. less and less each week though. We are decimated by injury and with a team as young as this one it's been even worse. Most of the injuries have been vets, if not starters. Too much to ask of a bunch of kids to keep this team afloat I'm afraid. We'll win some games, they'll probably be stressful and ugly, but we'll come away with a few. Our best hope is if we can survive long enough to get a few guys healthy then try to put together a run in the second half of the season. Hoping and praying for the best, but it's gonna take some serious luck.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

It's nice to have a bunch of good locker room guys, but I wish there were a few bad asses on D.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Here's the dilemma

SP is coaching so thats frustrating in itself

If we battle back to 7-9 we miss a game changing prospect, Payton will just move them to a different position regardless.

However none of us want to see us go with less than 9 wins, i honestly don't know if we will win a game.

If we get a top 5 pick, Payton needs to be gone before then as he and the coaching staff will just screw them up!

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Stop thinking a top 5 draft pick will change this team.

There were several mid to late round rookies who played a great game tonight.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

This was the "easy" part of our schedule lol...

It's more likely we go 2-14 than even get to 7-9.

I am ready for the regime change but that wont happen... 3 piss poor season in a row and nothing will change next year.

It will be cool watching some of the young guys mature. We can also play spoiler to some teams. This is not a bad team as in its not the same type of bad team we have had in the last few years. This is a beat up unlucky team with too much inexperience

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

With Brees under center we are good spoiler material if teams start to look past us.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

You forgot the Causeway :-)

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Without a pass rush or the ability to get anywhere near a QB ...nope.

Defense continues to be a major problem down in New Orleans & Byrd has turned into Brandon Browner.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Causeway is restricted to players only.

Hey heard any good jokes lately?

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Sean Payton.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

ass kicked at home with all the advantages for a team to win. Nope we are done. Can never get that day back, and SP looked drunk in the presser.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

The funny thing, the Falcons showed us what we're doing wrong. The Falcons moved with purpose, got the plays in fast and mixed it up well, kept the defense off balance.

Why do we do we use up almost the whole play clock just to throw a timing route or just throw the same slant to Michael Thomas again and again?

The key is executing faster, change it up, be less deliberate. Atlanta looked like a high-powered college offense tonight - that's what we need to tap into.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Just way too banged up on D to make any noise this season.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Even if injuries didn't decimate the team, I doubt they'd make the impact we all want...

We have a lot of young inexperienced players who are only gonna get better with more snaps

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

That has never been Drew's game. BTW, Philly had the same thing you're describing with Chip Kelly and they ran him out of town on a rail once the rest of the league caught on. I doubt they could have done that crap if we were at full strength.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Those are fair points. I just felt frustrated watching the Saints tonight - taking a lot of time off the play clock to execute very ordinary throws. Especially when we go 5 wide, allowing the defense forever to get setup is not a good thing.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

One of the things that frustrates me the most is, despite Drew's ability, there seem to be a ton of of passes that are predetermined. I am aware that on every play there is a primary receiver, but I'm talking about deciding before the play that he's going to throw to that receiver, no matter what.

Drew is too good to just bail out and check down for a 1 yard gain or 3 yard loss like he kept doing tonight. Our offense has done a ton of that during this three year run of losing.

There are times when he has to get rid of it, and then there are times where he isn't under pressure but he just dumps it off without even looking downfield.

Then there are those quick slant routes that have been mentioned in this thread that lead too much trouble to keep running it as often as they do. All that predictability is killing drives. With this defense, the offense can't afford to stop itself.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

36/54, 354 yards 3 touchdowns, 7-11 on third down. The Saints only punted twice. If that kinda performance frustrates you, you're gonna be disappointed a lot.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

0-3...and only one game back in their own division.
its not that bad. Theyll be 1-3 next week and either be 2 behind atlanta or just one behind everyone.

keep your shirt on.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

First this is not based in reality, but even I were to pretend it was, we are two games back not one, and we haven't won a game

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

I honestly can't look at a game and say that's a win right there, the defense is worse than last year!! How is that even possible?!?

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

So you have decided that this one game is all the sample size I'm using after back to back losing seasons and an 0-3 start this year? Try again.

54 passes to get to 354 yards proves my point, however. That is horribly inefficient, and that happens too often. We had two punts, a turnover on downs and an interception which came on one of those predictable plays. That throw simply should never have been made but he tried to force it in, anyway.

That's four stops. How many times did we stop the Falcons? Is their offense better than ours? If so, that's embarrassing.

But how about last week's performance? Where was this vaunted offense when we needed them then? The offensive line is light years away from where it used to be in the glory days, but just as big of a problem has been this check down passing game and all the predictability. The aggressive play calling shows up sporadically and then disappears for long stretches.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

My expectations for this team have been severely lowered after the now 0-3 start.

I find myself not getting as frustrated as I normally would watching it last night, purely because I expected us to find a way to lose....and we did.

So from now on it will be a nice surprise if we win, as my expectations are probably on par with what the Raiders or Jags fans have been over the past decade.

I just feel bad for Brees, we have wasted several years of this first ballot HOFer's career with poor defensive play.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Do you really believe this?

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

This is funny...

I thought I would be the mose negative person here. But in reality we have a lot of key injuries but that isn't to say we wouldn't be much better either.

We have been primed for a key turnover and over-haul of this team and everyone just wants to put Bree's under center and hope for the best. He can't do it all himself!

Time to make some drastic decisions.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

HOPE???? HOPE??????? Heck no there is no HOPE man!

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Injuries aren't helping. 2 top cb's out and 1 of 2 safeties, plus d lineman, but yes, it still was exceptionally bad last night

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Muffed punt was a 7 point gift
Int for was a 10 point swing at the least. the way the game was going 14 point swing is more like it

that was 17 to a 21 point swing right there.

So all in all with injuries and all I think it was not that bad of a showing.

Peat proved he is a LT and a LT only. Terron to RT might be a better move to think about. Might help that knee out. Slide Streif inside to LOG. Chip block or TE help for Peat might be needed.

Still not liking Anthony at OLB

DL is a huge issue still and Rankins will not change that. We need a run stuffing space eater up front.

But all in all not to bad. Then again this was a loss to the falcons at home which is never acceptable.

Sticking with 10 - 6 till/if we loss 7

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

sounds like it could be a second screen name for Guido...may not be, but certainly sounds identical

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

"We may have lost the game but you won't even be hurting today!" At Dougins

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Maybe he's just trying to be positive. There's nothing wrong with that. My hopes for the season are hurting. But I'm trying to have a little. It makes the season a little more enjoyable. For me anyway.

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Re: 0-3 Do you see any hope for 2016?
 

Trust me, I get the injuries that has plagued our team thus far but exactly how do they relate to the special teams incompetence which was a big factor and momentum swing last night?

As previous posters have stated .. poor coaching and the lack of depth are playing a big part in the teams failures so far.
