Part of the fun every season is breaking down the numbers each week once we get to the middle of the season or so. Do we still control our own destiny? If not, how do we get that control back ?
I will do this again this season, but not with the same amount of enthusiasm as I usually do. Can't help but feel betrayed by Loomis.
Can't most of the blame be placed on him for our team's struggles right now? I think the Saints biggest problem is DA. PC is horrible, but if we had a different head coach, he would have found a way to remedy our OC issue. And Loomis was ultimately the reason we kept DA, right?
I just read the breakdown of today's game.
There is no reason we should have lost this game.
I will continue to hope for a playoff spot this season. But more out of liking to work the numbers than believing the Saints will do anything in the playoffs.
The thing is -- and I think we all know this and are extremely frustrated because of it -- the Saints have the talent. We are, on paper, a good team. But the major problem is that the guys who are responsible for putting together a good team are not handling the paperwork necessary to put good team members on the sidelines.
I am having trouble hoping the Saints get it together and begin showing how good they are on the field and not only on paper.
And currently the Saints are a toss-up in controlling their own destiny.
If we win out and the Bucs win all of their remaining games except the one against us, the Bucs and the Saints will end the season at 14 -- 3 ; tied at both head-to-head and in the division. What is the 4th tiebreaker?
