Speaking of dick measuring contests... that should've been one that Rivera was hell-bent to win. He should've told Gettleman to go fug himself. You might assemble the roster, but I manage the roster the roster that you assemble.

He did win it but by the time it was won, the damage was done. Remember how Gettleman like was canned in training camp? And they brought Hurney back in because of his familiarity with the system? Ownership just made a hash of it.

I miss Luke

We all do, buddy, we all do.

It's not to the deluxe apartment in the sky yet. The beans will still burn in the kitchen if we aren't careful.

Why do I feel this won't be our last change up this season at K?

Good luck to him, he's our guy for as long as he can hold onto the job. It's like riding a tiger right now, one bad buck and you're toast.

Nobody deliberately signs bad players.

True, but we all know that person who invites you over for a cookout and tries to serve you eye of round steaks. They don't mean to serve you inedible food, they just don't know what is good and just shop by price.

There's apparently a fine art of selecting linemen and we aren't showing much talent in that art.

This Sunday, we will begin the process of returning the Saints to their classic iteration, the pre-Drew Brees Saints. 

Sooner or later that voodoo mambo is gonna come looking for Sean Payton's heart to settle that debt and he'll be dragged back deep into the bayou. 

We need more red zone practice.

Teddy was right about that. 

Hate to hear of anyone getting injured, but it'll help us for now.

I barely noticed him which is generally a good thing for CBs. They're kinda like OL, you don't really notice them unless they make a spectacular play, be it spectacularly great or spectacularly bad. CBs honestly even more so because they're generally not going to be in the camera frame unless they're targeted. If they're not getting targeted then they're probably doing a good job covering.

And that right there is why casual fans never understood the magnificent play of Chris Gamble. Quiet guy who just shut down half the field on every passing play. If Horn ends up almost as good as Gamble, then we're going to be doing great.

We need to let Jackson walk, he is not good.

 

If your worst DB only gives up four receptions for 58 yards and no TDs, well, man, your team is doing well.

And we actually saw Jackson in on making tackles. That's a huge improvement for him. 

Jackson is fine.

Hope he recovers quickly and fully. He was holding his own out there.

I'm amazed his guts didn't squirt out like a stepped on tube of toothpaste with those guys on top of him. Tough kid.

I don't think so. Its year two in a at least 5 year process. 

Everyone keeps saying that now, except me. If we post another five win season, they won't survive. If we don't make the playoffs, mark my words, at least one of the coordinators will be sacrificed.

Let's not dwell on it and just enjoy the win. Next week will be tougher and more important. This week, we had to kill some ghosts for our young QB. Mission accomplished on that.

I actually didn't hate that. Not fully trusting the kicker I'm sure factored into the decision. But pinning a rookie QB inside his own 5 yard line when the D-Line was absolutely abusing him all game seems like a pretty appetizing prospect. Force a turnover. Safety. Or at worst a 3-and-out and we get right possession of the ball right back where we left it.

Frankly I think Charlton isn't getting enough heat for botching a coffin corner punt so badly. Punting from the 33 to the 15???

There's more to unpack in the decision making process of that one play than there was in understanding the Snyder vs Whedon JLA directors' cuts. 

Just all kinds of stuff swirling around there that will probably drive us crazy trying to interpret. In the end, it didn't matter. Probably best to just let it go and move on.

Our defense was timid last year, old lady-like at times.

Yesterday, they did great for the first half and then were fair the second half.

I'm going to need more than this to say that he can hold his own in this league.

Santoso was 2/2 on field goals.

We punted from the 33. 

That means the coach looked over at the kicker and decided that he'd rather just give the football to the other team than risk a 50-yarder. 

Maybe Chase Blackburn isn't very good at coaching kickers. 

Or returners.

Or... could make a big point of this if you wanted to.

Best laugh I've had all day!

He played really well for a WR3 in his first game. He's going to be solid to special out there. Just wait and see.

you didn't watch it I take it? Aaron Rodgers looked completely disinterested from the moment of the first snap he doesn't look like he wants to play football anymore.... The rest of the team followed suite.

Thanks, no I didn't get a chance to see it. I think he's out to sink the organization until he gets traded somewhere. Not our team, not my worry.

But it might mean that New Orleans is nowhere near as good as that blowout makes them seem. 

Or it could mean nothing.

My question is how bad are the Packers? It looks on paper like New Orleans was completely dominant against what should have been an excellent team (based on prior performance). Or did Green Bay look like a team collapsing on itself under the weight of the Aaron Rodgers singularity?

Honestly feel bad for the guy. It makes no since why he's still there. They suck. He's aging and will age out before they get rebuilt. He's a huge cap hit. They should've shopped him and given him a chance to go to a contender. Basically like the Lions did with Stafford. It would've been in the best interests of both team and player.

Except the market was over crowded and they would rather have a generational tight end at this point. 

Look, the guy was good to great as a QB. While he might deserve to go out like this, he's raking in some big bucks by staying put there. Now if we can just treat him like that two more times...
