Its not like James Pearce/Nic Scourton/Ashton Jeanty is that much wore than whats at the top of this terrible draft.

Fair enough

 

[MikeyF]

Yep. I don't feel happy about this at all.

Other than the first two games of the season, this team will not put any team away when it has the chance...

 

[Tulsa Saint]

Tell that to the Lions and Redskins.

Better to be stuck in no man's land right?

A counter argument:

The Steelers/Vikings

Have they ever tanked?

 

[DaveXA]

I didn’t see the kneel.

Game recap…

 

[SaintsFanInLA]

The winning is going to cost us, it’s bittersweet. It’s one of the reasons I wanted to keep Allen. It would have secured us more losses.

It’s one of those things where firing Allen will actually hurt us long term. He wouldn’t have been HC at end of season anyway

I definitely understand your point but losing is like a virus and it spreads, creating more losing and more losers. Losing for the hopes of a better future is still losing and its no guarantee your higher draft pick will yield better results. I'd rather fight, close, and scratch for every win and instill a culture of perseverance and tenacity. I definitely see your point, I'd just prefer to win.

The lions and redskins suck almost My entire life . What u mean

 

[St. Widge]

Yep. Still a bad team, but Rizzi at least has them playing better than Allen did.

They're certainly winning more because they are finishing games, but i'm not sure they are really playing better overall. They did against Atlanta, but today was a pretty horrible display of football in every phase of the game.

Those are the exception rather than the rule. And of course, they revamped their front office and staffs before all that happened.

 

[Broad St. Saint]

Well we're not winning the next two weeks if carr is seriously hurt.

he can’t stay healthy. two seasons in a row. much like Jameis in ‘21 and ‘22.

A counter argument:

The Steelers/Vikings

Have they ever tanked?

Do we have their caliber head coach or talent?

Last I checked both are no.

No....

They had years of high draft picks to stock up on talent THEN hired the right staff.

 

[St. Geezy]

MANNNNNN I THINK THIS sheet RIGGED ! It was obvious both teams wanted to lose this game at the end. I think NY coach probably told them to lose at the end.

Was thinking the same. Crazy some of the bizarre ways teams in the 2-10 realm lose.

Almost sort of sensed it even before it happened.

We suck right now without any future ahead what do you mean? LOL.

I mean, they were playing the Giants...and the offense misses Hill, like, a lot. They we competitive against the Rams and I think that game took a bit of the wind out of their sails. But let's see how they respond next week against a decent Commanders team.
