Underhill article: “Saints moves are telling us what they felt the real problem with the team was last season”

Apparently, he wouldn’t have been fired by the GM if not for the owner gauging the opinion of some key players, a seven game losing streak with the last one to Carolina.

As much as I wanted DA to go, those injuries were insurmountable for any coach. Some don’t agree, but I thought Kubiak did a good job working with the scraps he had left. It was job too difficult to mask the deficiencies for entire games.

3 of those 7 games in the losing streak was winnable, despite injuries. That HC was finding historical ways to lose. Does anyone not remember this? It was major headlines!!! 3 one score games. All 3 of those games we lost by three points or less. Why are we blaming injuries again? Our team was just not good. Good teams finds ways to win. DA has proved that he couldn’t get his team to seize the moment. Pulling out one score games, especially 3 points or less, instills confidence in a team. Once a team drops easily winnable games, doubts start to creep in. It was already in the back of their minds from previous years. Injuries is just an excuse. We had opportunities to win games.
