Hard to understand after the excitement of last season…

we are about to have the worst oline in the league which will compound frustration towards derek carr and the offense in general. our defense is among the oldest in the league and are inevitably due for a loss to father time. the team is still being ran by mickey loomis and coached by dennis allen. there truly is nothing to be optimistic or excited for in terms of this season unless you are rooting for a disaster to upstart an arguably necessary reorg and rebuild

Being in this purgatory brings in more money than bottoming out like what Carolina is doing.
I'm gonna shite on Loomis and Allen, but the reality is not compounding money mistakes this year and just letting the money reset, just not accelerating it, is a better financial decision and strategy for some form of "hope" than none at all.
We saw what happened with one elite draft class, it can change the entire trajectory. They're obviously trying to see if that can happen while letting bad money rot

I get that but we added that draft class to Sean Payton and Drew Brees. Even if we hit with an elite class- you’re adding that to Dennis Allen and Derek Carr. At best thats a one and done playoff team if everything goes right and the draft class all hits. Hence- why this is board is dead.

This is what happens when you’re in NFL purgatory. At least when you suck really bad you’ll get top 5 draft picks and people would get pumped about that.
But it’s just another wasted season where we will get 7-8 wins. So what’s the point in getting excited?

This. I’m honestly shocked that DA is hanging his hat on this OL and praying it works out to keep his job

7 wins is the ceiling for this team. I say 5-6 wins.

We’ll manage 8-9. We don’t know how to tank.

League is too woke. Gets worse and worse every season. Couple that with the end of the Brees/Payton era, and the results start to make sense.

NOLA no call really did sour things exponentially for me.
We will never see another magical run like 09 again.

Apathy has set in with the fanbase, cant blame them. Itll be this way until we get rid of allen and hire new blood

it is interesting because most everyone doesn't think much about the Saints this season.
Normally I would say that is a good thing. No pressure and no expectations.
But the main thing that sticks out to me is the offensive line. Definitely question marks at that position. The drop off in the run game over the last few years. Now they are installing an offense that is more from under center it sounds like and there will be more play action and bootlegs. But in order for that to work you have to be effective running the ball to make that all work.
I look at the Saints schedule and don't know how it's ranked as low as it is for difficulty. I guess being in a shite division will do that.
I've said plenty of harsh things about the current HC and QB and at this point have just hit a wall because there isn't anything more to say really.

I am excited about Kubiak.
He was great in SF.
He is legit.

The secondary should be near the top and fun to watch.
Posted on 7/25/24 at 6:40 pm to tigerbait3488
Everyone probably assumes we are gonna suck!
Posted on 7/27/24 at 7:04 am to tigerbait3488
Good news- we have the 3rd best odds to win the division
Bad news- out of 4 teams.

Doubtful. Lattimore already hurt on his way to playing 7-10 games max again.
Pass rush is going to be anemic stressing that secondary. No chance this year with both lines sucking as bad as they are.

To the "Nola no-call ruined my fandom" people and the others here who claim something about the team or NFL has soured you on NFL or Saints football to the point where you no longer care:
You are here in this place positing on a message board about the saints and the NFL.
Coming here shows you are full of excrement.
Posting here shows you are full of horse excrement.
The "I am a better person than you because I am above the NFL and the Saints and I have officially disavowed them" doesn't fly. First, it doesn't make you a better or smarter person. Second, posting here shows you haven't disavowed anything.
You are the loser guy at the end of the bar who won't stop running his mouth about something he claims not to care about.
If you want to complain about the league or the team, go ahead. This is the place to do that. Don't you dare try to claim that you don't care.
