Losses are necessary. This is the highest level of the sport in the world, every team is capable of beating every team. A blowout in week 3 is something that this team can benefit from tremendously in Week 13.

 

Looking at film from a day like this will prevent all sorts of mistakes for the future because we DO have a great coaching staff. I have big time confidence in the mistakes that RR, McDermott, Proehl, Jim Skipper, Ken Dorsey, Eric Washington, and others will be able to correct because of this game.

Offensively, our coaches are not very good outside of Ricky Proehl (who is getting the most out of Benji and random other cast-offs). That's what is worrying.

The defense is fine and will be fine. Coming across a running back tandem that looked like Marcus Allen and Jerome Bettis on their own out there is rare, and something we can fix.

Being vanilla on offense and trying to do the same thing over and over wont change. How do I know? It has been the same since Chud left and Shula took over. He has no idea how to adapt or change the offense. He's the lead weight dragging us down.

And Matsko? Is he really bad? Really genius? I have no idea because we have The Ghost Of Ryan Kalil and four back-ups starting for us on the offensive line. How Cam hasn't died on tw field yet, I have no idea.

This game don't hurt me much, our fans reaction does. Seems we don't have much trust to our team after this loss while many think we could lock a playoff spot after 2:0.

We need to be realistic about this game. Hope for the good and prepare for the bad.

I have faith in our team, other wise, why do we need " keep pounding"?!

not worried about the loss at all.  worried about the swiss cheese o-line.  almost think it'd be better to sit cam for a couple weeks and bring in DA.  DA is quicker at making reads and with cam hurt he can't rely on his natural ability to get outside.  cam is playing great football for what he has to work with and not being 100, but is it worth it to get him destroyed this early when we have a very competent backup?

Minus the wes horton encroachment and the muffed punt  we would've been right in this game. A game were we were making a bunch of mistakes, lets not lose all hope.

 

yeah, this was a mental loss, now we will see how good the team really is, by a come back with a big win in Baltimore.

Very competent is being a little generous.

    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
