Basically, we’re wasting time. We know how this all ends.

Look at Arizona after they gave Murray that contract while looking to dump it now. He wasn't good enough before so no surprise it's much worse now their wasting so much cap space. Miami is struggling to reclaim being a toothless postseason team as a better version of still not good enough.

Ego, they are garbage and most coaches feel like they field a better team with better scheming. Also, personnel differences. Plus, coaches can't count on 11 flags and numerous horrible spots to keep their teams in the game against us. 

All true but if the blueprint exist and they ignore it then that's pretty stupid. Unless personnel makes it a non-option seems like an easy call. Also the Saints are a bottom team and some winning teams avoided that strategy with better rosters even if they don't have the divisional knowledge that the Saints have.

No he didn't. He was looking to the right the entire time. When he realized Chase was on him, he braced for impact and protected the ball. 

He literally made the choice. That's still on him. It's a David Carr special. Outrunning blocking while going backwards. For a 3rd year gut that is pretty bad

Come on Huddle. I love Ickey's energy and fight, but he got his tail beat on that play and gave up a sack. 

How can we possibly have 9 pages blaming the QB for his LT getting bull rushed into him in 2 seconds while he's looking to the right? That's why your opinions aren't taken seriously. EVERYTHING negative is because Bryce Young sucks and is too small and his arm is too weak and he can't read the field and he's not accurate and...

There is a point in the video it's clear he sees the pressure and decides to start backpeddling right into it vs stepping up and away from it. Watch it, it's obvious because there is a pause before he makes that choice to keep dropping regardless. That sure looks like it's on Bryce. It's not even an attack but just the obvious truth. 

Would be a bad sign because the MO is a bounce back game when the opponents look like Carolina last game before flopping the game after regardless. 

The only mystery to me is why other teams don't watch the Saints film more. The hope wagon is scheduled to show up this week just to burn down the week after.

whats crazy is that he got sacked 5 yards back from where he got the snap IN THE SHOTGUN!!

The David Carr special is what that is called

He could have felt it maybe sure, but it is the qb blind side for a reason.  He read the blocking scheme and knew it was 1 on 1.  Sometimes the defense wins too, you are going to blame bryce no matter what happens so Im not sure why im wasting my time telling you how youre wrong. 

If you can see your LTs blocking infront of you then it's not a blind side...that's when he should have stepped up. That's just running back too far out of protection and that's on Bryce. 

Going to be interesting to see if they credit Bryce or Ickey with the sack. Im guessing Bryce.

If you feel the compulsive need to make excuses and then blame others blindly then maybe don't point fingers? I crap on Bryce but when he earns it. This was on him IMO

So many people that hate bryce no matter what dont understand how progressions work.  He was clearly reading right to left.  The bull rush got to him before he would have ever had time to get to the dowdle read.

You're just going to avoid the step into the pocket and not be behind the LTs part? I never mentioned Dowdle either

Too easy. Addition by subtraction. Saints found one in the 2nd last year lol

The only mystery is how this surprises anyone at this point.

It's nothing more than who they are or how they start every season or every other game. It's just their MO

Don’t we all?   Lea has been very consistent in the criticisms of Evero and Young. He will, as will Cox, give credit when the coaching staff rises above expectations 

listening to Eugene Robinson, Szoki this morning

1 4th and inches.  Needed to be a quicker play, like a dive play or sneak vs having  Bryce turn a 180 to hand off.   It was 4th and inches   Or could bring in Andy for a sneak or the play    I absolutely know,  without any playbook knowledge, Canales never  considers that or practices that 

2  Eugene Robinson livid over lack of pressure calls by Evero and coverage calls and what did come, came too late 

I’ll tell you this, after the tongue lashing from Bowles, the Bucs will kick ass

i really am sick of Canales Mr Rogers demeanor 

 

Not all of us. Only the ones that like pain and disappointment

Saints have such a weak schedule. They literally play college teams from here. Falcons will somehow BS their way to 8 wins and that leaves us P4 as usual in the standings. 

We are 50% of their wins. Im guessing they drop one more too.

I would still bet on the Falcons being last. They seem the clear worst team in a weak division

No poop. His history speaks for itself at this point. His best was as a interim HC here and even that was obviously flawed. Hate it for him but he should try college ball. 

Canales is limited like much of this build. Good news is that the NFL has built in parady so that gives every team an easy pass to hover around .500 when they are not openly shooting themselves in the feet.

Look at the completly clean pocket he has to climb!!! Ickey got "beat" in a way any tackle will hes dropped completely behind both tackles with ZERO interior pressure 

The fact he needs a 100% clean pocket to see is the issue there. It's the NFL not school so clean pockets are a hope and not a guarantee. He can't see if he steps up so it's a non option really

Lol QB can't see the field so it's the LTs fault for not being perfect

This team gets boat raced in the playoffs

itd be like Dallas crushing Tampa a few years ago when the national media realized all at once tom Brady was washed. 

They show up when it's regular season play and the other team doesn't show up as much. When the other team is playing to win like the Saints and what you see in the playoffs they will lose. 

Whatever team slides in via the NFCS is getting tossed quickly this year. Might as well call it the stepping stone division, basic playoff warmup game. 

There is an obvious pattern but if you have your fan goggles on you won't likely see it from week to week living off the highs and lows. 

This is a team that is built to get embarrassed in the playoffs when the other teams go win at any cost everyweek vs the regular season slog. This is not built to do that obviously. 

They look good when the other team is mailing it in and get tossed when the other team plays hard. SSDD

Just need a QB who can do more rather than less. Doesn't really matter until then. Good news is the Saints found one in the 2nd so it's doable.

The entire team is essentially better in year 2……Bryce is just the same bad QB he had always been.  

I don’t like Canales O.  Didn’t when we hired him.   Still don’t like it.  But the team is trending better outside of Bryce and how he limits it all. 

We are a team picking very high for years and still don't have much top teir tallent while playing other bad teams given how they make the schedule. It's very mediocre but like I said it's NFL mediocre. Parady does the hardest lifting if it's not a dumpsterfire. 

His playcalling is mediocre. His adjustments usually are nonexistent. Even his culture is soft. He is NFL functional he is just mediocre. I have seen zip to warrant a 1 spot out of 32 as an NFL HC. He was also literally outcoached by a first year HC in his first HC game. Sorry but I just don't see a lot of positives past mediocre overall and that's honestly being kind IMO.

Add in the stubborn and intentionally blind but very vocal stans as a major irritant and I am exactly there. 

I thought it was hilarious honestly. What a hill to choose to lose on. Annoying? Absolutely but it was too comical for me. I was and way more mad about the quality of ball on the field. It's unwatchable most of the time for me. 

Most of the good coaches showed enough to know there was something there in year 1 and kept building on it, even when the situation is a mess.

Canales hasn't shown any of that. I also don't really see any improvement either. He just seems overall mediocre. He runs an unimaginative offense but it is a functional NFL offense. As a HC I see nothing impressive. A cheerleader is his peak as far as I can tell. I think he will fail here and go back to being a journeyman OC at this point for other HCs much like him.
