Trouble in New Orleans

Recommended Posts

WR Michael Thomas ruled out for Monday Night Football, not due to injury, but because he was involved in an incident in practice this week where he punched teammate Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. Will not play as a result of team discipline. Uh oh Aints...

True but he is also a very good player

He's very good but a bit overrated. Peppered with targets by an accurate Brees in that Payton scheme. The guy has average like 11 yards per catch his career, that's a very pedestrian number. Not a whole lot of TDs either.

I mean fights at practice result in suspensions? What has the NFL come to. Also Haha Saints.

The team imposed the "suspension" not the league. So he fuged up badly enough that the team decided the best decision was to suspend him a game rather than let him play. Maybe the ankle injury and upcoming bye played into the decision, but either way it's pretty clear that there's some issues in that locker room there...

I dunno man, he’s probably they best WR in the game. The Saints offense isn’t the same without him. If you go watch Bridgewater’s highlights from his time in New Orleans, Michael Thomas made him look very good and is a big reason why he’s here today.

    • I'll take this draft!
    • In the past there was always debate about winning or losing for a draft pick.  We’re finally playing for something but what if it means  Bryce and Canales for another 5 years?     Ultimately, I always want to win the game and I want to us  to win the division because God knows when they’ll be in a position to do it again but I can’t help but wonder what the best long-term outcome should be? I know that I am full of contradictions at the time and I can’t help but being conflicted about how to feel going into this game. At the beginning of the season I would’ve taken in a heartbeat  to be in a position to play the Bucs for the division title. However context and how you get there matters and I don’t feel that the team is deserving having lost to Saints twice and while nobody expected us to win against the Seahawks, the way we lost is absolutely embarrassing. I just don’t know if I can handle every other game that offense looking like the worst passing offense I have ever seen…   
    • I felt like we came out the gates this way though. I understand Seattle’s defense is top notch and their secondary can lock it down, but playing scared is not the way to win in this league. It seemed like the gameplan was to keep the ball away from their DBs and take safe secure underneath passes. It doesn’t make sense when we saw their defense get lit up 10 days earlier.    It’s not to say Young and Canales are cut from the same cloth as McVay and Stafford, but there’s tape on how to move the ball against the Hawks. It’s more frustrating when Darnold played awful and we contained their running game outside of the Charbonet run too.    3-3 at halftime and this staff couldn’t make tweaks and tinker a bit to put points on the board. Sad.
