We Needed This Beatdown (1 Viewer)

[BoNcHiE]

Getting blown out by a bad Raiders team was necessary. There was too much delusion within the organization that we can just get healthy and run this back. Darren Rizzi is not an NFL HC, and I've never thought he was. Spencer Rattler is a 5th round talent whose biggest flaws do not get fixed at the NFL level. The rest of the team is void of talent and incredibly old at too many starting positions, specifically on defense. The salary cap is a complete disaster.

The time for a total reset is now. Take your lumps, fire everyone, clear the cap, play a bunch of rookies next season, and go 4-13 next year if you must. Get a top draft pick and find a franchise QB. If we don't do that, we could end up in a franchise spiral that takes a decade to emerge from.

If you think this was a beat down, just wait until next week.

The difference is this was against a bad team. Getting beaten by good teams leaves excuses on the table. There were none this game, and that's a good thing.

Will the local media step up and ask the Saints FO the tough questions now!?! I wish someone with access to the powers that be would do that for us fans.

That’s the problem with the cap shenanigans, if you wake up and find you’re a bad team, there’s no way to really clear out bad contracts and start over. This team has been bad for awhile, fooled by stealing close wins against mediocre teams.

In before a bunch of 35 year olds get restructured again.

I think last week.was all the evidence needed. I picked the Raiders to win today. This team except for a couple offensive linemen are not NFL starters

We're already there.

No #1 RB, #1 C, #1 or #2 WR, #1 QB, #1 LG, #2 CB and traded away your #1 CB or your biggest offensive threat in Taysom.

Yeah I get it tear it down, but let’s not act like this isn’t a bunch of 2nd and 3rd string guys playing in place of all your primary starters.

That's the fastest way to lose media access. Saints organization has the media under their thumb.

The scariest thing to come from today’s game was that our defense was shredded by a bad team led by Aiden O’Connell and an ancient running back who had never come close to a 100 yard game. They made us look foolish.

I’ve gotten so tired of hearing that. It’s a very real part of the problem. We have to keep extending guys who are well past their prime.

Perfect game to make some money on the side,no one's watching nobody out of market even watching. It will be another 5 years till the raiders have 5 pen yards with 2 min left if not longer than 5. Stinky game pregame in a whole lot of ways. Not even gonna bother with the Tampa game or any postseason junk. Stick around for the draft threads but that's it.

You think this was a beat down, then what was last week?

Rizzi is not a HC, so everybody wake up, we are just waiting for the off-season to find new leadership.

but if the cap was in check, they could afford adequate backups.
