After today's results it looks less likely that the Saints will rest their starters when they play the Panthers.

If they lose to KC and GB doesn’t lose to Tennessee, GB would effectively have a 2 game lead (both teams have an easy game too) going into the last week.

We now need GB to lose one more assuming that NO loses to KC. If that happens then NO would still have a chance for the top seed in week 17. At the Bears isn’t a gimme for GB. If GB has a 1 game lead though, their game against Chicago doesn’t matter.

It would help us more if the Rams beat Seattle because maybe that would put more pressure on NO to win to make sure that they don’t have two road games. Seattle lost to NO so a tiebreaker favors NO. Those two have 4 losses which is what the Saints would have if they lose to KC.

I think we are in good shape because the NO having a two game lead on GB is basically off the table. Now the top seed being gone for NO before week 17 is in play but Seattle/LA are now right behind and their toughest games are against each other so one or the other should get to 12-4.

Most coaches these days are only as good as their qb.  When Ron had one who was playing well, he did pretty well as a coach.  Maybe not as well as we think he should, but still did ok.  To be honest, given what Washington has went thru this year irt its qb situation, I think Ron would deserve some Coach of the year consideration if they win the NFC East.  And before anyone says,  but its the NFC East, the NFC East is significantly better now than it was in Sep/Oct.

Or it could be more likely.  They have to play the Chiefs next week.  Anything can happen, but I don't see Hill and Company keeping up with the Chiefs offense.   And Brees is probably going to be out again.  The Chiefs will be a tall order even if Brees is back and fully healthy.

By the time they play us, they could be locked into the second or even third seed.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
