Thats like saying the captain is gonna fix the hole in this ship titanic. So there is no need to get in the life boat this is my favorite ship

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

It's really a crap shoot with coaches but we need to look at the ones who's contracts will be up the end of this season and snatch one before the other team even has time to present an offer. We really do need a defensive guy and that's why I mentioned Patricia. Good Defense has some great players and they stopped us today. James has really turned Penn State around in the most difficult situation ever. Maybe not head coach but we need guys like that.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

How much would it cost to get Harbaugh out of Michigan? If we were to keep Brees I know Gruden would to coach him for a year or two. We just need a change. This administration has ran its course.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

All I know is that we were put to bed by both Minnesota and New England.
Arguably, New England humiliated us with their last drive, we did not notice and we played as if yards made could become some sort of playoff-defining tie-breaker.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

We need a defensive rebirth. That above all.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Anybody gonna listen to the presser or do we all know the script by now

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

oh man my thoughts exactly about Harbaugh.

Instant playoffs

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Agreed Rez and I mentioned him a week ago, I don't think it would take much. They've been grumblings at him already and games are just uneasy wins. He would come back in a heart beat if the money was right!

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Talk here in Indy is Harbaugh will be the next coach, played for the Colts.

Gruden? Sits in a booth with no pressure and makes millions. He is going to give that up to return to the NFL? He isn't any better judge of QB talent unless the QB is named "Brettttt Favrrrrrre"

Gruden's "Stellar" NFL Record
Regular season: 95–81 (.540)
Postseason: 5–4 (.556)
Career: 100–85 (.541)

How fitting: Sean Payton 2.0!

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Give him SP money, at least he will win

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Tebow wasn't that bad. He did win a playoff game. Elway was a jackass for what he did to him.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

I absolutely admit I bought in to the Saints improved defense during the preseason. They got pressure. They hit people. The tackled well. The coverage was close at worst. Oh what a difference the regular season makes. No pressure. Bad tackling. Blown coverages. Teo' and Klien look slow. Anzalone looks like a rookie. The safeties are just bad. I just don't get the complete lack of anything good on defense. It's going to be a LONG year.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Nope. This ain't life or death. There is no life boat for anyone to get on. This is my ship and there is nothing I can do to change it so I choose to continue to enjoy as much as I can.

:bng:

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Don't forget that we now have no offense either.

They can't convert 3rd downs, they can't create running lanes or string passes together. They can't score more than 2 TD's a game.

The whole team is a mess and SP and loomis are entirely to blame.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Let's see, they face the QB that led the NFL in completion % last season in his home on Monday night. Then they face arguably the greatest QB in NFL history the following week.

:bng:

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Perhaps you could fire them, huh?

:D

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

If our owners had anything about them they would.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

But we all know they don't so ...

I choose to enjoy what life gives me and not stress over it.

:bng:

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

That's fine, I have no problem with that. I'd just like to see a competitive team get fielded, they haven't sniffed the playoffs for 4 years and SP/Loomis need see the mess they have created.

Brees lost his spark?

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

He's not the only one!!!!!!!!!!

Do you see a single player on this team that you would want after these 2
games???

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

I just don't see any fire. I mean....Brees gets fired up for games. Why the hell is the defense all fired up and playing crazy in the preseason. Then the season starts and they get duped by Minny and crushed by New England.

I'll say this...if SP can light a fire under this team and go into the bye with a 2-2 record, I'll have a little more faith.

But right now...this team looks uncompetitive and lost. There is no fight, no desire and no hustle.

I understand that we have a tough schedule this year, but if SP can't field a decent team, I want him out.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Dennis Allen defense:

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

That's scary as ****.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

I'm at this point where I say to myself this isn't just Dennis Allen's defense.
More like "Sean Payton, Mickey Loomis AND Dennis Allen's defense."

Shame on Dennis Allen for allowing SP and Loomis control the quality and size (short) of defensive backfield and raw material to work with.

SP and Loomis need to take as much blame as possible for years of draft, cap money and contract mismanagement.

That said the stats will be shocking. Brady threw for almost 500 yards today and the Saints have started 0-2 and given up over 1,000 yards to opposing teams.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Fast forward thinking ...

I really hope that when the Payton era comes to an end(and it will), the FO brass should really focus on bringing in a defensive (see Carolina & Atlanta) minded HC.

Side note - at least Lattimore appears to be a stud in the making. He can flat out cover and shut down Cooks today.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

I think we need a general manager that can pull it all together

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Any particular defensive minded HC?

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Matt Patricia.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Teryl Austin? Vic Fangio?

I'm debating making a thread about this very topic but I'm fairly certain it'll be spammed by people who believe Payton should never be fired.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Go for it bro. That number of people are steady dwindling as the weeks go by.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Kris Richard -Seattle
Matt Patricia - Pats

First two come to mind.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Well we do have this going for us:

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

who is the denver d coord?

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Joe Woods. He'd be a great option for a team like us that already has an established QB.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

yes kamara, thomas, and lattimore

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

What's amazing, I saw a few guys just going through the motions in week one. Today was worse. Several guys have already checked out. Losing hurts. But, having no passion and fire is impossible to watch.

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

Spags sucks.....and so Does DA

Re: Saints vs Patriots Gameday Thread
 

I personally dont think the whole team and coaches need to be blown up. I really like our core pieces on both sides of the ball. I would however like to see Payton and DA fired and let the new coach pick his new 4-3 DC. let Carmichael and Brees control the offense. Try that for a season and go from there. Its weird though,Payton comes across as an arrogant a hole who seems to have lost his team seasons ago,but players seem to want to remain here. Maybe because Bree's is here I guess...
