Hot Takes Welcome (Post Packers Loss) (9 Viewers)

[2024InjuryApocalypse]

I’ve never been a Loomis defender. In fact, I think he should be the first to go. But I can’t in good conscience judge Rizzi on a team that has no starting receivers, no starting RB, no offensive line and a rookie QB. I’m not saying Rizzi is the answer to all of our woes, but I refuse to put this on him.

Oh I can judge Rizzi. The clock mgmt debacle at the end of the 1st half is on him. The bare minimum a coach can do in a two minute drill is pay attention to freaking clock and he didn't do that. He's not HC material and if we retain him as HC we are not a team to be taken seriously.

I turnt the game off for the first time… we got big problems. we need a whole new defensive scheme and we need a makeover of players on both sides on the ball

 

[SirLoinSaint64]

-The Saints ran up against a really talented, well-coached young team on the road who were playing for a playoff spot.
-The Saints started an average rookie QB with an interim Head Coach on an injury riddled team with nothing to play for,
-The whole staff including the GM needs to go.
-It's past time to purge the team of older players and big salaries.
-Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

It’s the confounding thing about his season and the head scratcher for the off season
Aside from the obvious things like depth and line play, how do you evaluate anything

I get that fans are ready to throw the baby out with the bath water but that’s potentially just as dumb as doing nothing

 

[Saint Spud]

I don’t think we are very good at football

 

[madsaint1967]

Safety is a big need, seeing Mathieu thrown around like a rag doll is embarrassing. So many positions to address that you could literally just throw darts at a list and come out better!!!! This whole team quit last night.

 

[ShadowMan]

No starting QB, no starting running back , no starting center, no starting wide receivers ( 1, 2 or 3) aged defense with no rush playing a top ten team in the cold,with all their starters healthy..... WHAT DID YOU EXPECT!!

BUMMED OUT SAINT FAN

 

[killerdescore]

Draft can't come soon enough.

 

[Domeination]

Darren Rizzi should not be the permanent head coach of the New Orleans Saints, and anyone who suggested he should simply does not understand football.

It was reasonable to keep an open mind when he took over, but, like most mid-season replacement coaches, he has proven he is not up to the task. We need a complete rebuild, and I wish it would start with the GM.

That falls squarely on Loomis. So why are people defending him? We are way over the cap too. At some point you got to say enough and blow it up. 4 years in a row of this!

 

[AARPSaint]

Rarely get to see the Saints play on TV. Only watched the first half. Expected a nightmare and got it.

There’s no position on this team that doesn’t need improvement. Not one. In its current state, with all the injuries, it is the worst team in the league in my view.

 

[SaintsFanInLA]

Disheartened yet detached. It legitimately feels like the football gods are trolling and punishing us. Remember how the laws of physics changed for Wile E. Coyote whenever he tried to catch The Roadrunner? That's us. We are Wile E. Coyote, and the laws of the physics and the universe change whenever it comes to us.

The stealth tank is still on.

Take this game film and burn it. Better yet, throw Mickey out on the street and he can use the game film as fuel to burn in one of those hobo trash can fires. Maybe he can get DA and SJB together and they can form a doo wop group singing around that trash can. That would certainly be more entertaining than tonight’s game, or anything Mickey has given Saints fans since Sean left.

This team was built in the image of something unholy, and unfit to represent the city of New Orleans, or bear the name Saints. Bring it down to the studs. Don’t wait til the offseason either. Find a few guys who you think you may keep on the roster next year, and let them finish out the season as your starters. The guys starting now already are thinking Cancun, so go ahead and give them an early release.

You don’t have to worry about these guys catching cold in the Green Bay weather as nobody in a Saints uniform could catch anything tonight.

I’m a big proponent of “if you don’t want us to keep scoring on you, then stop us.” I’m also a proponent of “if they are still throwing it while up by 26 to 0, then don’t be surprised if some of your guys leave on a John Deer.” I look forward to our next matchup vs the Packers, when we aren’t playing like we never left the freezer on Airline.

Carr supporters are quick to point out that he is more mobile than Rattler, however watching Rattler run for his life, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Carr run like I saw Rattler run for his life tonight.

At least Hayball still has it. That guy has really been the MVP of this team for some time now. A true unsung hero.

I would move everyone up from the practi

I would promote everyone on the practice squad to the active roster for the last 2 games. See if any of them can play. The defense is old, slow and can’t tackle. The offense has no direction and self destructs in every game. There are so many needs on this team that it will take at least 2 great drafts to be competitive again.

 

[The Unrest Cure]

We suck.

Hot take: it is fun to watch marginal NFL guys have the opportunity in real game situations to make an impact. Yes, we are losing, and losing badly, but: watching Kevin Austin, Dante Pettis, and Cedrick Wilson ... ohh nevermind. It isn't fun at all.
