What Saints Fans are Saying

I actually feel for the Saints fans, their organization failed to get sufficient compensation for Jimmy Graham and to beat it all, they claimed and I indirectly quote whomever said it in the Saints organization to some extent " We want to run the ball down people's throats". Sorry, but in today's NFL if you want to "Run it down people's throats", you need a good defense and front 7 pass rush. Also if I'm going to trade Jimmy Graham which I don't think should have even happened, I have to realize that it pretty much fugs Drew Brees over. You take away your HOF Quarterback's favorite target in the redzone and on third down, apparently the Seachicken's haven't figured out exactly how to use Graham yet.

 

You can line Graham up at WR 1 and throw a back shoulder pass, and there will be no CB in the NFL that can guard it. The defense can put whoever they want on him, I have confidence that with Brees nobody can cover that man. Also obviously the Defense will adjust accordingly out of the huddle when it breaks, to maybe line their most physical imposing linebacker up at the Cornerback 1 position to cover him assuming Jimmy goes out on a 5'10 cornerback weighing 180 pounds. However, the Saints used different formations and Audibles changing plays at the Line of Scrimmage that forced the Defense to have to adjust way too quickly.

 

Their Organization failed miserably, and that pretty much sums it all up. All I'm saying is if I'm going to trade for someone it'll be Bruce Irvin. Hell, maybe even Rolondo Mcclain from Dallas. (They could have used CJ Spiller) It's pretty much a buy and then sell a player . I'm no cap guru and it's probably best if I wasn't a GM but you need to get help for your team if you say you're going to be a tough hard nosed football team and don't even have a good Defense to back it up, then it's pretty much a joke.

Is this thread smack-approved?  Because if not, it's going to need to be asap.  We all know where this is going.  But I will say this, and I find it odd, this is the third week of the season and I'm yet to see an infiltration of opposing fans signing up or posting.  In years past, this was a given no matter who we were playing, regardless of either team's record.

Where the hell is everyone?

    • It's rare enough for a running back to tear the same ACL twice. There's not much of a sample size on the recoveries. And of course Dobbins has missed a lot of time--he was injured twice. That number will drop as his career continues, and even if it doesn't, that doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with the prior injuries. Dobbins just started and played well for a playoff team all year until he was injured by a hip-drop tackle. Surely his ACL recoveries didn't contribute to his completely random foot injury caused by an illegal tackle? Again, I'm confused why everyone is being so definitive that there's 'very little chance' of any meaningful contribution ever when the greatest counterpoint ever played for us. Thomas Davis tore the same knee over and over again and was basically fine. As for the roster-building stuff, we'll see what happens with Chuba and Dowdle at the end of the year, but Etienne's not going to factor into this. Either Brooks comes back, in which case we've already seen more from him than we have from Etienne, or he doesn't. But Etienne's not forcing him off the team. If anything, Etienne's current role is his absolute floor.
    • Then I would assume disingenuous. Why on earth would you consider this an "exciting" time to be a Panthers fan? Let me ask this, how old are you and how long have you been an NFL fan?
    • An ESPN writer had a good breakdown of teams that were likely to come back to earth(KC and Redskins were two of them) based on outlier results in 2024 in close games. I think that has a lot to do with it. Found it: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts
