A few final words about the Saints...


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

It's worth remembering that the Panthers are partially responsible for what happened to the Saints today.  Had we not beaten them in week 16, they'd be hosting the game tomorrow and wouldn't have had to travel until next week at the earliest.

 

Also of note for New Orleans, that "can't win outside of the dome" perception that you thought you exorcised last week?  Yeah...back with a vengeance now.

 

Great play, Marques :lol:

 

An argument could be made that Drew Brees is continuing the trend of quarterbacks tailing off after getting paid huge contracts.

 

And one last thing: After starting crap with Seahawk players by pulling Bruce Irvin's hat off pregame, Jimmy Graham finished the game with just a single catch, eight yards.  Don't know if he won the trash talking match, but if he did, it was pretty much the only thing he won.

 

See ya next year :)

What makes me laugh is the fact that now, the only thing they can thump their chest about to us (at least, as it concerns this season) is that they blew us out in the first meeting.


Sure, but we got the last laugh bitches. Enjoy the realization that you're truly not THAT good.


Now, back to important matters. Getting ready for tomorrow and reading threads regarding Luck, George Carlin, and media perception of Cam.

San Fran again? Again? Who the hell is making these schedules? At least they had the decency to put that game at home. Along with Cincinnati, Baltimore, and GB (and seriously, *** was up with us going to Green Bay two years in a row? Sick ******** wanted us to lose). All those games are easily winnable at home anyway.

The only away games I'm sorta worried about are Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Chicago. Also the Cowgirls, but that depends on which Cowgirl team shows up. Lions have to step up their game in order for me to even care. And our division rivals are morons who usually lose to us anyway, so I'm not too concerned about them either. 

Looks like a mild schedule this year. Still not as easy as I would like, but it will have to do.

 

 

Man saints fan suck. Whiney as fug.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
