Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?

I didn't bother to read the whole thread. The Saints don't have a problem with Sean. He is an elite coach. He is an elite motivator. He, more maybe than even Drew, is the face of our franchise, and we are blessed beyond measure to have him running the show. He has faults. I can't think of another coach in college or the NFL I'd rather have running our show. I can say the same for Loomis as GM. We are blessed.

Drew has more in the tank. He's not young. He's not going to run around and beat you that way. If we can solidify the oline Drew can get it done at a very high level. Drew is not our problem.

As I see it, our defense is good enough. We need some help or better play on the back end, but we're good enough there to win 10+ games. I'd like to get better, but we don't suck on defense.

We suck at WR outside Thomas. We...suck. I realize Dez is old and all that goes with that, but I was willing to give it a go because we have NOBODY at WR outside Thomas. Nobody.

Our biggest problem? Roger. I know, people don't want to hear it, but not wanting to hear it doesn't make it less true. Roger is controlling the games to the extent they can be controlled without an NBA style fix. It breaks my heart. I love the NFL. I've been watching games for decades, and it's pretty clear. The refs are not 'bad'. The rules are out of control, and it is clear that certain calls are made or not made at crucial times which are obviously either "missed" (with intent) or made up. This is not exclusive to Saints games. I think if we had the data Roger has we'd better understand the favoritism shown to a given team or teams from one season to the next. I'm in advertising. Advertising is the name of the game, which means ratings, which means markets, which means Roger has a directive based on what the NFL "needs" in a given season or even week to week. I'd bet the farm on it being true, if I had a farm...

I'm slowly recovering from last season, and I'll be ready to go come training camp. Still, I'm convinced Roger still has an issue with Sean and nobody will convince me games are not officiated to that end.

That's what I'm thinking Skymike.

You're thinking right, Banana-Man.
