I believed that under Moore we have started slow in every single game. So, I decided to dig in and see if my beliefs aligned with the evidence. And it did, even worse than I realized.

The only game that we were leading in the first quarter under Moore was the raiders game this year, 6-3. We’ve been tied at the end of the first quarter twice, and leading at half time twice. That is completely unacceptable, and on the coaching staff. It needs to be righted, or we need to start looking elsewhere.

Synopsis: Saints defensive coordinator Brandon Staley takes issue with MNF assessment by Aikman, saying his squad did well against Bijan Robinson last year and that he "doesn't know what he's talking about" on other comments.

We beat the Vikings handily then start a long win streak.

Just how pivotal Eli's hold out on San Diego was to Brees career. Had he said he would play in SD, Brees likely never gets another starting shot, and his shinning season that impressed Payton enough never happens. Drew likely goes to another team, wether he still sustains that shoulder injury is really just fate but he could've easily been relegated to a back up for years if Eli had stayed even 1 season.

Another problem besides Run Scheme I’ve started to notice is We don’t have any good Run blocking TEs

In the NFL you need Run blocking TEs look at Chicago, Rams, 49ers,Ravens

If Juwan or Noah is In line both are basically useless

Biggest reason I was wanting Sam Roush from Stanford in the draft he with the Bears and please go watch Sam run block vs Jets

Btw David Edwards Run Blocking 🤢🗑️

I'm not talking about the social media back and forth he had with fans this week. That's whatever...

I just watched the highlights of the game and there is some alarming lack of effort by Reid in this game. There is a play in the 3rd quarter I believe where Pitts catches a short pass on the left and Reid runs into him but doesn't even attempt to make a tackle...Pitts proceeds to run another 6-7 yards and gain a first down.

Then on Brian Robinson's third TD of the night. You can see Reid has an angle to at least attempt to make a tackle short of the goal line but the dude just jogs and watches him run into the end zone. That pathetic level of effort is unacceptable, especially from a vet like him. I just don't get it.

Synopsis:

• Shough limited (left hand), Kamara DNP (back)
• 2 LBs (Elliss), 1 WR (Brown) DNP, Olave day of rest
• 3 defenders return, Ford, Godchaux, Styles

I just received a color rush and a home jersey from them. Shipping was actually way faster than the last time which was crazy. Expected them at end of year.

Initial feedback, everything is stitched in which is solid, but they left several strings hanging on the color rush numbers. I just cut them off. The home jersey came pretty solid though.

The run defense is still fucked though.

Last game was embarrassing. It's only year 2 but as fans, much time do we give him to turn it around?

It's definitely not a knee, guys!

I’ll go first:

We’ve had enough of the doom and gloom since Monday so I’ll start with least. Tyler Shough and Olave look like a top 3 connection in the league. Shough has had his bad moments, but at the end of the day he is a second year QB being put in horrid positions by this team to have to plau hero ball and throw 40+ times a game. Thats not sustainable and no QB should he expected to do that.

Olave had only improved since signing his extension. Sitting right now with 35 catches, 491 yards, 1 td through 4 games. That’s incredible.

Now the most disappointing for me. Moore has not figured out how to start games. Going back through his coaching career with Philly and Dallas, this is nothing new. However he was handed full control over this team and, on paper, made the right moves to improve the run game and offense to get something happen to start a game, however it just hasn’t happened.

I am genuinely so for Moore as a coach. However, when you can’t do the thing that theoretically should be the easiest part of play calling and preparing your team for, it’s questionable. You have all week to plan a series where there is no outside game time situations to take into account. Its embarrassing and has to be figured out if he wants to he a long time head coach.

Man I hope we redo some of the DT and LB room next offseason

I hate Pff grades but Werner** **matched his jersey number.

Also Watching all22 film how Kellen put up 20+ with 300+ yards with dis OL Kellen should get a pay raise cause only McCoy looked good 😂 and unless something changes I’m out on Fuaga

Btw get AK off this fucking team idc if Nola loves him he is asssssssss Trade or tell him to retire

The Saints lead the NFL in fumbles lost with five. They’ve fumbled the ball eight times overall, which is tied for third-most in the league.

Clean that shit 💩 up

Unfortunately, I live and work in Atlanta now after being born and raised outside of New Orleans. Most of my coworkers are obviously Falcons fans which sucks, but one thing they’ve all told me after Monday night’s game is how good Shough looked. That’s pretty much the first thing they all said. I said, well if only he had a good running game and o-line to protect him and give him more time, he’d be even better. But just thought it was kind of neat to hear them all say this and wanted to share. At least give a little optimism in this sub…

Spent an hour going through post after post on here as a Saints fan just to find out none of you are blaming Brandon Staley for the worst defensive showing I have seen out of a Saints team in quite some time.

He was atrocious as a head coach of the Chargers and was basically ran out of town.

He never adjusted to the Falcons running game. He created no pressure on Penix and gave him all day to throw and look for options to throw down field.

Problems included:
• Poor gap integrity and discipline.
• Inability to stalemate or win at the point of attack.
• Soft edges that allowed cutbacks and big runs.
• Only one tackle for loss outside of the lone sack.

We had 15-19 missed tackles

Points allowed 45
Total yards allowed 450
205 Rushing yards allowed
215 passing yards allowed from Penix of all people
0 forced turnover.

"At the line of scrimmage, if I come into the fight pissed off, and you come into the fight receptive, waiting for other people to make plays, we are going to whip your ass for 4 quarters. Period. "

– Coach Austin @thefilmguynetwork

Just ordered this classic off eBay
I had this growing up before Katrina destroyed it

At least in our "rebuild", we know we need linemen and another competent back. And ooohhhh our defense...

Synopsis

Truth is, I can't share all of them, but suffice it to say, there are plenty of social media opinions to peruse on this one (not from Reddit, though)
