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.

    • Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time. 
    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
