Here come the Saints


SIGCHI222

Recommended Posts

After watching GB demolish our very being, the Saints are currently having no problem smacking the Packers.  Home, dome,  schmome.  We will be in for a dogfight come Thursday.

 

If you thought the Huddle was bad today...I can only imagine what lies ahead if we lose Thursday.

 

So many missed opportunities today.  Such a frustrating day from a coaching standpoint.

 

This may be the year of missed opportunities, the exact opposite of the year everything fell our way (2013).

 

Thursday is the fork in the road IMO.  It ain't over, till it's over.  I still believe we can win the South.

 

As strange as it may seem, we are going to actually have to win this division rather than backing into a gimme.  There are 8 games left.  May the best team in the South win.

Saints will lose at home to either 49ers or Ravens, maybe both.  They will probably lose on the road to Pittsburgh and if they lose to us that puts them at 8-8 or 9-7.  I'm thinking they end up 9-7 which means we have to go 6-2 down the stretch to win the division.  Thursday is a must win.  After that we will lose to the Eagles and probably to the Saints on the road.  The rest of the games are going to have to be wins or we are at home come January.

The Panthers will play their best game of the season on Thursday, which is why they deserve to lose. If you can't get up for every game like it's against a Division rival, then you don't deserve to ever win any games. 

 

Why is it that my teams are always more focused on "who it is" they're playing instead of only caring about what they need to do no matter who it is? They were scared to death of "Aaron Rodgers." They were in awe of the "defending Super Bowl Champions," and played themselves into a loss. A bunch of nice guy chumps. 

 

UNC...a bunch of nice freaking guys all the time which is why you can always come back on them after they start taking it easy on you, unlike Duke.

Panthers...nice guys, unlike winning franchises.

 

Nice guys finish last in sports. Cry about that, Jerry.

I agree that Thursday is a huge step in deciding the winner of the South. If Atlanta had won today, we would've been in all sorts of a fuged up situation.

 

But, also, I think Thursday decides if Rivera and Co. are employed at the end of the year. If we get blown out in the first quarter/half like we did against Green Bay (another team with an explosive offense), then, I don't see any possible way that Rivera and his band of flunkies are here at the end of the season.

    • WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.
    • Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.   
    • In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
