About sums it up:
The defense played really well for 3 quarters and that was without Uche, but when they needed to get the stop and 3 and out, the Saints ended the game. Just inconsistent football.Yeah but when you can only score 13 points and you gift them 14, its hard to really bash the defense.
Is saying I’ve lost all confidence in mcdaniels taking it to another level or is it appropriate?Can’t wait to see people take it to another level.
Let’s get ready to rumble!
I understand what you're saying, we're always very good as the underdog, but if we don't play any better than we did today, we're not going to be able to beat too many NFL teams.I think the Patriots win next week.
To a poster's point, Bill has usually won these hyped up games.

No, people take these loses personal and will attack others.Is saying I’ve lost all confidence in mcdaniels taking it to another level or is it appropriate?
1st one was. He should have taken the sack. 2nd absolutely was on Smith.I'm a bit confused as well. If we're being honest they didn't ask and do a lot of the first two games.
Today they needed him to throw the ball and he has 2 interceptions that were his fault, a ton of overthrows and a ton of 50/50 balls and ended with 55 QB rating.
They have Slater, White, Andrews,Devon..all good leaders...when a team can't block and turns the ball over multiple times, they are going to seem uninspired.All I see is a lack of leadership on this team. They seem uninspired.
His issue isn't the fumble, it was the poor pass protection.If you're going to make an example of RStev for fumbling, then make JSmith inactive for a couple weeks. He sucked today, let D Asiasi get a chance.
Isnt what happens when you clean house and bring in a bunch of high priced FA in?All I see is a lack of leadership on this team. They seem uninspired.
We can only hope Scar is sitting at home rolling in his retirement chair “honey, wash my coaching outfit, I can’t take this Any longer”Mac looked a lot better than his stats suggest, but it was still his worst game to me in terms of accuracy and (to a lesser extent) decision making.
He's also the least of my concerns. This offensive line is early 2014 levels of bad and needs a change. It worked in 2014 when we shuffled the guards around and put Wendell in the lineup over Devey, and I think we're looking at a very analogous move with Onwenu to RT and Karras to LG. Please, for the love of god, never start Herron or Durant again.
Our big contracts for passing game targets look very questionable right now. Jonnu and Henry are undeniably upgrades over what we've had in recent years, but so far haven't lived up to $12.5M/year. Agholor has been fine, but again, not $13M level play. Could just be a matter of all the new faces still building chemistry, so I'll withhold major judgment for now.
The defense is inconsistent, and it's not just about the run defense. Jameis was able to pass pretty effectively to a WR group our corners (on paper) should have dominated. At least we have Gilmore coming back at some point.
Then there's all the penalties, which seemingly came at exclusively the worst moments. This might not be an anomaly considering what happened against Miami, but at least it's theoretically correctable. Only thing I can't wrap my head around is Bailey having a bad game for the first time in human history.
I just listed a lot of complaints, but you might notice I also paired each of them with a potential solution or reason to believe it could improve. Not all of those solutions will be implemented. Some will be implemented and not work. We'll see. This team has a ton of work to do both short and long term, but hey...at least we switched from fumbles to interceptions this week.
I already bet that moneyI’m willing to be a lot of money they won’t.
