Official game day thread: Raiders @ Saints 12/29/24 (2 Viewers)

Here is once again to the local media…time to step up and put the hot coals under the Saints FO and demand to know how they are going to fix this mess. Now’s the time for that incase if they were waiting for a signal or sign.
New Orleans media will never be hard on the Saints management. They are in their back pocket.
 
One thing I’ll say is Rizzi is definitely done after this game regardless of next week.

Rah rah only goes so long. If you don't have a concise plan, you fail.

He isn't HC material at this point. He is a fantastic position coach and that is where you need the rah rah emotion.
 
It’s a bad throw. Zero reason to make a WR leave his feet and high point a ball when he is just standing there for a first down. It’s a pattern of unnecessary high/hard throws.
Except that he's been under pressure the entire game so he's a bit off on some of his throws. But he hit the guy in both hands so it shouldn't have gotten passed him. Maybe he doesn't come down with it, but not passed him.
 
That should do it for Rizzi.
We have to start fresh. He won’t be the coach next year. And he will end up somewhere good and be fine. I respect what he has done with the hand he was given. No hate for Rizz.
 
Rattler hasn’t been bad today (and I’m not exactly a fan). The rest of the team has SUCKED……
Rattler had his moments, but he has been bad. Many of his throws have been off target, some of his throws were late, he continues to choose the wrong receivers, and he should have 3 ints.

He absolutely has ball location issues have seen that from him since college but I think an offseason of coaching dedicated to breaking his bad footwork can help that.

His platform under pressure gets spotty

It was a bad throw. It happens. Even Brees had bad throws. But my point was that it still went through the WRs hands and it's a catch that an NFL WR should make.

Rattler needs to be more consistent, but he's a rookie behind a bad OL and with very few NFL quality offensive players around him due to injury. But, up until that throw basically all of his throws were on target in this game. Despite that, there were several drops and a few good throws called back due to penatly.

He's far from perfect, but he's a rookie and he's actually looking like an NFL QB in this game. Hopefully that continues and he develops more.
 
Nice set up interior screen. Throw is good catches made not one of the blockers even attempted a block.
 
These two yard gains on every 1st down is just getting old.
 
The good news is, you could have been a Saints fan during this era and trying to explain this away:
"In 1979, Erxleben was drafted in the first round (11th pick overall) by the New Orleans Saints, listed as both a kicker and a punter."
I still remember my dad and his brother getting so mad about that.

Then in the first game of the season Erxleben missed an important FG and botched a punt snap that cost points. He was so bad as a FG kicker he lost that job during his rookie season.
 
Oh man, other teams leveling in the dome and it’s just perfectly fine.
