Stream of consciousness ramblings on the Saints that are often wrong and always impulsively made.

I love this list and I don’t disagree with much… but “The Dark Knight” belongs on it. Probably at #1 or right below Heat.

They will do the opposite and we will hate it. Those are just the breaks people.
If its close. Go with the guy who has 70 yard FG potential

Every team I have watched today would beat the Saints by like a thousand points.

Cc: @FreakyPeezy Exactly what the concerns with waiting until late in the season to see shuck were are currently playing out in real time.
Chris Olave and Alvin Kamara were not at practice

I lived for 5 years in a city without an NFL or NBA team. I never want to live in a city like that again. I was there with family too and it was awesome.
But genuinely, the game was perfectly fun entertainment and a great night with extended family before a holiday. A textbook reason it’s awesome to just have an NBA team in your city. It’s the reason I’m so passionate about the team surviving here long term.

I’m not going to say he’s Phil Jackson, but he’s a real deal, competent, professional basketball coach. The way he manages the game, the lineups, timeouts. Sideline demeanor and command. It’s refreshing.

Liking one of my team’s head coaches is a strange feeling. I haven’t experienced anything like this since like 2021.

They have a chance to see what they have over 6 weeks with a kicker who could be like one of maybe two guys capable of making a 70 yard kick. It costs them nothing. If they lose because of it, it doesn’t matter. And they probably won’t do it. This is what we are dealing with.
Yall remember when I said we should play shough early cause what if we have a situation like last year where later in year the qb doesnt have a salvageable situation to play in and we couldn't judge him properly Anyway. Shough has to rise above the crap hes surrounded with

Someone else who used to be on this app once said “Payton was the only person in that building that was actually as smart as he thought he was.”
Something I've long suspected is becoming glaringly clear. Payton, even at his controversially lowest in NOLA, was the only one in house who knew what he was doing on Airline. No other way to explain what he's done in Denver in such a short time using talent he's familiar with.

Point being: he’s not the right coach. He’s going to be fired. But the flaws in this operation are above him. The people making the decisions about the team, and the roster, and the future can’t see it clearly for what it is. Well, they probably do now. But that’s by accident.

There’s no way he’s the guy you hire to turn a franchise around or execute a rebuild, and I doubt that he would have had a good plan for that anyways. If they had been looking for someone to actually execute that, he wouldn’t be here.

Kellen Moore was the perfect guy for that vision. Super Bowl OC who jumped in with the Eagles and optimized that offense. He had a plan for injury prevention (which did work in his defense). And he doesn’t have strong opinions and REALLY wanted to be a HC.

I said it in the offseason, and so did many others, that they weren’t looking for a coach with a vision on how to rebuild things. Or how to overhaul everything. They were looking for someone to optimize what they already had.

I don’t think they viewed this as a rebuild. They blamed the injuries and the coaching. They overvalued their talent. They thought that they had a good QB. They looked at those first two games, and thought that was who they were closer to being than the team that ended the season

All offseason, many of us talked about how concerned we were in the front office, their process, and what they thought of the team and the roster they had, and how that would impact their ability to choose the right coach. And I think those concerns were clearly valid (cont)

If he declares, I would draft him at 3 if I were the Saints. This franchise needs life. And I’m still willing to bet big on him being a good player.
.@Nate_Tice believes that Arch should be the top pick in this year’s draft if he decides to leave Texas 🤘 (via Football 301)

The Saints have had how many different offensive line coaches, offensive coordinators, and offensive philosophies since Sean Payton left? Three of each? And it doesn’t matter. They still can’t put together a functional offensive line.
LT Garett Bolles: R1 pick LG Ben Powers: NFL FA C Luke Wattenberg: R5 pick RG Quinn Meinerz: R3 pick RT Mike McGlinchey: nfl FA pickup pickup My point. Talent matters. But if you cant coach and develop talent OR have resources to spend on talent You cant build a good OL

The Saints were 5-12. They are currently 2-9. They hired the worst coach of the cycle, which we knew at the time, and all it’s as clear as day right now.
The Patriots were 4-13 last season. Mike Vrabel is 10-2. The Jaguars were 4-13 last season. Liam Coen is 7-4. The Bears were 5-12 last season. Ben Johnson is 8-3. Show this to your friend who thinks coaching doesn’t matter in the NFL.
