Terry is on his 4th head coach in 4 years.

I'm not ignoring Hotrod. Not a good game by him. But blaming him for the D not being able to stop the run is silly IMHO. EVERYONE Has to do a lot better if we want to win any more games this year.

Guys seemed perfectly capable to run it the first 7 weeks.

It was Ralph's idea to start Rob Johnson vs the Titans.

Winning is exciting. We've had 5 exciting games this year.

The Raiders got a lot of yards in garbage time. Going into Q4 Carr had about 175 yards passing.

Disagree. Just because you only get one TO does not mean you give up 300 yards rushing. How does that make any sense? Something happened in the locker room. Guys don't believe in the process anymore.

The Saints didn't even have to punt once! That fits squarely on D. O only scored 10 points. That's squarely on the O (including QB and OLine and Clay among others).

The last 2 weeks we've been playing the bend and break defense. When you play that way you have ZERO chance to win regardless of O or QB.

D could spend a lot more time off the field if they could, you know, make a stop and get off the field.

It's all set up. We control our destiny. We just have to win. This is where it falls apart.

The kid played very well in garbage time. This is a plus. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

It's gotta be some psychological/motivational/emotional/process funk thing. We were competetive and winning a majority of games for the first 7 weeks. Then the last 2, the wheels fell off. Same guys. Same guys that WERE stopping the run. Same guys that were scoring 30 points 2 games in a row. Hoping Coach McDetmott can get his mojo back.

While this was a really bad game, there have been others that were at least as bad. 2011 44-7 to the cowboys 2012 50-7 to the Hawks in Toronto I remember us getting trounced on NE on MNF or TNF one year That year we got trounced by Jets on opening day I'm sure I'm missing a few.

Is this worse than Trent saying he was not a Bills fan?

I'm hoping he balls out. Great hands can be contagious. I saw this in Seattle on 2005. In 2004 they couldn't catch the football with a 2 bushel basket. Then they got Joe Jurevicius who caught everything. Suddenly the others guys were making good catches too. They went to SB with a great passing and running attack.

Him and Flutie. Except in the Astro Done because his mother taught him to not wear a hat indoors.

I have an easy fix for the Thursday Night Game. Teams play on Thursday following the bye week. No game for 11 days followed by no game for 10 days. Problem solved. Since they are all division matchups, shouldn't be too hard to schedule.

Marching bands are cool. I was at the Bucs game where the Ohio State band played at it was AWESOME. I'd LOVE to see them have Grambling or some other southern band like that. I would much rather see that than washed up rockers and pop stars lip syncing. What do YOU have in mind?

I will if she will.

Saints haven't beaten a team with a winning record yet. I hope we're not the first. Not sure what to expect either. I hope we come out like we did vs Raiders. Hopefully Drew doest slice and dice our secondary. I'm hoping for a win.

I agree completely. When I watch old games on internet and TV it's cool that they don't have that dumb scoreboard there ALL THE TIME. I'm watching the game. I know what the down and distance is. Instant Replay challenges and booth reviews ruined that years ago. Used to in the last 2:00 if you didn't have time outs, there was no game stoppage. Now they have to review a lot of plays and teams get free time outs. I also remember that Mike Martz was the king of challenging something dumb to slow a team momentum when the opponent was on a roll. Really, the only way to watch football now days is to TiVo the game and start watching it about an hour after it starts. Then you can just fast forward through all the BS. Although that is difficult for people who can't stay off their smart phones for a couple of hours

I like to have reasonable discussions about politics with people I disagree with IF we can remain calm and respectful. I only know 2 such people in the world, my brother and my mother in law. Politics is like religeon to most people and they have to win. Their way or you're an idiot. I would NEVER "confront" anyone about differing political beliefs. Who am I to tell anyone else what to think?

So why do you still do it then if nots fun? Sounds like it was still fun yesterday.
