Did anyone else know the 2024 Season was over the moment McCoy got injured?

This is strange because I typically don't know the ins/outs of offensive line play like some on here, but for some reason I was able to extrapolate the results of the Eagles game and then the next 2-3 games (based on what I thought the severity of the injury would be) and I started to consider, right at the moment when he got hurt, that this was going to effectively end our 2024 season. I didn't think we would drop the next six games, but I forsaw the domino effect of injuries to the extent that it would at least affect either Kamara or Carr, or both and I knew this would de-rail not only the momentum but the entire direction of the season. All of these thoughts occured to be roughly the first 5 minutes following the injury, to the point where all I could do was dwell on it and it caused me to lose interest in the Eagles games -- because I knew it was bigger than just that game.

Anyone else knew it, at the same point, as well?


Well we didn't have a great line to begin with anyway.

The Saints were replacing essentially three starters on their offensive line from last year. Two of them carrying significant salary cap money



We're starting a rookie at left tackle, A bust of a left tackle trying out right tackle for the first time.
A sometimes ok right guard and an oft injury journeyman left guard.

Keep in mind they're all learning a new offensive scheme with a non mobile QB. No true # 1 receiver or Tight end

McCoy was the glue holding them all together.
