Saints are where we should be..

First and foremost, I don't hate any team. The Saints, Bucs. Bills & NE all have competent coaching staffs and FO personnel. They know what they want theteam to look like and work towards that ideal. Their coaches game plan for each opponent instead we come up with a game plan that we think will work. 

People laughed at Bridgewater when he said that we didn't practice goal line offense. Bridgewater may be a lot of things but his character doesn't scream lier to me. 

I believe that Rhule is a leader of people, through his rhetoric, not just players but his coaching staff. His coaching staff isn't equipped to give him what he's asking of them and this makes him ill-equipped to be a NFL HC.

Had you watched the game, instead of going all Chicken Little dick, you would have seen that TB had no offensive weapons last night.

Even if half of Brady’s weapons were missing, he would still have more weapons than Cam did a majority of his career, plus an OL. The just got out coached.

Was gonna post a similar thread last night, but I didn't want to waste anymore energy towards this sorry ass team.  But, OP is right.  It's the difference between mentally tough, well-coached teams and teams that are coached by unprepared, collegiate hacks.  It was getting dark foe the Saints early this year after we beat them, and as I was watching that game last night I kept wanting to pose the question to the Huddle, "Ask yourself.  Honestly.  Does THAT team have more talent than this one?"  My answer, as objectively as I can surmise, is a resounding NO.  And yet, we've hardly been competitive the last few weeks.  We have a coach refusing to accept responsibility for his shitty decisions and his shitty idea of what offense should be.  Then you look at them, and despite going through 3 different QBs this year themselves, I haven't caught one clip of him throwing any of them under the bus.  Rhule does it to Cam every week now.  

It really does just feel hopeless.  Like, more hopeless and impossible than it ever has before.  As I pointed out multiple times in threads yesterday, we've now seen 3 QBs who have excelled at various points in their careers, regress to career worst performances in this offense, but it's the QBs fault?  I have kept watching in part to be able to discern what's wrong and to try and analyze what's going on, but I don't think I can anymore.  Seeing the same repeated failures and inexplicable idiocy, his refusal to play young players, his refusal to play the better options, and his arrogance have just been so off-putting that I don't think I'm watching another game he coaches.  I dont know what Tepper is waiting on, but I suggest he doesn't wait much longer...  this dude isn't setting a culture, he is ruining one.

The long and short of it is, the Saints are in games they shouldn't be, and win games they shouldn't because they not only play very good fundamental football, but also have a clear game plan that they're built and coached to execute properly.

Now, when you have issues like they do, you're going to take a butt whipping occasionally, but they're also going to be in a lot of games.

The Panthers could probably be close to that same level right now, but we're not practiced in any of the aforementioned areas.

Didn’t The Panthers beat the Saints,  before all the Injuries? 

my point is, the Panthers are capable of Beating the Bucs.

The Saints had something like eight coaches and I forget how many players out with the virus that week.

I wouldn't put any money on us beating the Bucs.

    • I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer  
    • Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?
    • You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
