Losing Ingram was just the dumbest thing we've done as a front office in forever

Got to watch a good bit of the Kansas City game.

Just the passion he brings to this game is priceless.

Murray is basically garbage. Terrible signing. Might as well have tried to sign another mini Kamara instead this off season.

I'm not sure. Sean coached this game as if it was a make or break game and with Drew out he's clearly made AK our feature back, first one in his tenure. Murray will get some work in, and will earn some SP trust, at least I think he will, then we'll see value.

I agree it was a mistake but from what it sounds like Ingram went off on his own. He probably liked the chance to be a featured back.

Just cause he had a good game against a ****ty Chiefs defense don't mean he'd be ripping it up here right now.

The Chiefs defense is trash. Just wait till they play teams that can get into shoot outs with them and actually cover their WRs down the field to prevent Mahomes from throwing bombs.

Jesus that's one God awful take.

Why are you crapping on Ingram? Obviously you're been asleep for the past couple of years when he was such an essential part of this offense, giving us the much needed balance we've craved all these years. Without him, that balance won't exist.

Brees showed that in the opener when he had to throw for 370. That was gonna be more the norm had he not gotten injured.

And that last statement you made makes absolutely no sense. What does that have to do with Ingram?

I would never buy that.

He wanted to stay here, he and Kamara truly had an unbreakable bond like actual brothers.

We low balled him, he felt slighted and unfortunately he accepted a deal that wasn't much more than we offered.

It's just a tragedy.

But hey the little money we saved we got Jared Cook #FleenerPartDeux.

We are 3 games in and have essentially given up on using Murray.

In a game in which you're up 20 in the 4th and you don't see the field?

Yikes, that's alarming.

Chiefs baited them into throwing. It worked. Ingram gashed them but Ingram and co. also lost the game. Ingram won't be dong that again I assure you.

As for Latavious, he has done ok if he gets the rock. He will get more work but we had to get that W. It was critical. I do agree though, we lost a good player for a marginal price difference. Pretty dumb.

What the Saints are missing is Ingram. He and Kamara were the best duo in the NFL. The perfect compliment for each other and brutal for defenses when both were on the field. Ingram is beasting in Baltimore and Jackson partially because of it. I truly believe it was Ingram's choice to leave.

If Ingram's new agent wasn't such an idiot, he'd still be in New Orleans.

What's done is done. He's a Raven now.
