[Merged] AK officially out Sunday (2 Viewers)

[Que Que 6]

We have Ingram to carry the load and Montgomery to catch passes. We’ll be fine versus Titans, and against Eagles too if necessary.

The gameplan will be ball control and contain Tannehill. Our RBs and defense should be able to handle those tasks after correcting last weeks mistakes (drops and late second coverage lapse) in practice.

U make this sound easy. LOL. Every single one of those things could not happen. And no one would be shocked. And I would not be upset. This year is not one to be emotional about one way or the other.

Shut him down? Are you guys crazy ?
We are 5-3 and in the thick of the playoff race. The shutting him down and waiting until next season talk is ridiculous. You have no idea what “next season “ will be like. I bet Miami didn’t think that way last night. No one, including myself gave them a chance against the Ravens.

Lol I expect that 5-3 record to go south pretty quickly. If Saints end up making the playoffs this season it will be nothing short of a miracle. And an early exit.

We don’t have any choice. Payton isn’t going to stick around for long unless he gets more stable QB long term solution; coaching for him just isn’t fun like this. May as well get in a position or draft better or move some assets to trade up.

I'd argue that we are a solid number 2 WR, TE, and a healthy remaining roster away from being a contender next season. This team has been decimated by injuries, but we are stacked. Payton isn't going anywhere, and we don't have to tank to get a quality receiver/TE.
