Angry Re: Payton need to go?

Damn I couldn't watch my power is still out but I'm sorry I had so much faith in our coach. Our defense sucks again and against the Vikings no less. AP was probably telling him run the ball u ass. I'm surprised it wasn't 27 to 3 Vikings I still think we'll beat the patriots but if not our season is over gentleman and Payton should quit.
Another losing season with all those weapons. I don't think so!

Re: Payton need to go?

A couple of years overdue for me. I appreciate all Payton has done for us and that championship we won with him will be something we will never forget and be grateful for. But we've been mediocre for a while now and our ability to develop players, especially on defense, has been underwhelming. I've echoed this the past few season so trust me... it's not an overreaction to a loss. It's sad to say but I haven't been excited about Saints football in quite a while.

I've felt the same way for a couple of years. As much as it stinks to say it, I find myself only starting to feel a little excitement (more like anticipation) when it's game day. It used to be that I couldn't wait, all week long.

I'm not in any danger of giving up on the Saints. I'll always be a fan. But this has gotten extremely predictable. This was the first time in at least three years that I felt optimistic about the defense, but I still needed to see it play out to know for sure. After tonight I am both disappointed and confused. I'm confused as to why we didn't blitz that leaky offensive line (I know the announcers were kissing their butts, but what honestly did they have to block, all night?). I'm confused as to why Devante Harris figured so prominently into our game plan, when there were more proven players available.

On offense it was typical predictable play calling, based on which running back was in the game. I know a lot of us have been saying that for years. When we made an effort to get the ball downfield, it sure seemed like the opportunities were there more often than not. What did we have to lose by opening it up, when nothing else was working? It was like watching Les Miles call a game. There's too much talent there to be so conservative. Frustrating.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Agree with every point... It's like we looked at all the good things in the preseason and just said "nah, going to try to do everything differently".

Harris starting on the edge wtf...
Not blitzing almost all game wtf...
Playing mostly zone coverage wtf...

Literally did the exact opposite of what we saw in the preseason. At least the offense looked the same in the preseason.

You're absolutely right blackandgold. Can't disagree.

Not sure I'm there yet. But our offense is slowly starting to become toothless like our defense and that's not a good thing when your head coach's specialty is offense.

So Sneed gets 3 games and Elliott beats his girlfriend and he's playing. Doesn't seem right.

Because Elliot put up a fight against Goodell. Elliot is backed by the NFLPA and he filed an injunction. Snead just ain't that slick.
