    Bananas. And their salary cap situation is nuts, they are the highest spending team in the league this year by a margin. But I've got no idea who is getting the cash.

    Edit: meant their 2025 cap situation. Look at the state of this:

    yeah i have been reading about this. Some of the worst management you will see.

    I have seen a few teams enquiring about Lattimore.

    That Carr hit though, eeeesh (coming from the supporter of a team that is still paying Russell Wilson).

    The worst part is, who the fuck can they get to replace him? No one is going to look at that roster/cap situation and think it is a good move.

    Aspiring coaches will see their reputation getting tanked as they can't turn trash in to treasure. Established coaches will wait for a better situation with better pieces. No one good (an not desperate) is taking that job.

    Exactly. The only thing in their favour is being in the worst division in the NFL, so you're always in with a chance of making the playoffs. And they aren't a historically bad franchise.

    But QB is ugly. They probably try and take a chance on a guy like Fields, or else tank hard and try and take a QB in the top 10. No idea what this draft class is like though.

    2025 draft class doesn't look like a great QB group.

    There are only 32 HC jobs in the NFL so every role is appealing. Every vacant role generally has roster problems, although this saints team is probably worse than most.

    Their cap situation has been awful for years but they used various maneuvers to keep pushing out the hits. They've been one of the main reasons you occasionally hear 'the cap is a lie'. The reality is it always comes due.

    mmm saints are a mess
    fans are getting real shitty too
    saw belichik being asked about them today, and he just sort of shook his head
    afterwards i thought, jeez he's a roster expert, maybe saints have already chatted him

    i think johnson oc lions may have knocked back a hc position at end of last

    lions are awesome, best right now imo

    Saints went downhill when they stopped giving the ball to Taysom Hill on every snap in a variety of different positions.

    i kinda like hill
    i think that type of player can be effective
    probably like to see more running backs who can pass
    rather than QBs who can run
    small but important difference

    anything that keeps defences guessing can get you that split second extra time.

    He was fun! Not a great QB, but a real swiss army knife of a player

    Yeah I rate him. They probably needed to use him more than they wanted to, given their distinct lack of options in the passing game.

    There have been 2 instances in NFL history where a QB had:

    30+ completions
    300+ passing yards
    4+ TD passes
    multiple 40+ yard TD passes
    no more than 1 INT

    ...and yet still lost. Those 2 instances were Joe Burrow vs the Ravens in Week 5 & Joe Burrow vs the Ravens again yesterday.

    @Cyclops cracking game. The Bengals are the best 4-6 team I've seen I think.

    They finish with the Steelers twice, chargers Browns titans and Broncos. Could potentially go on a tear to get to the playoffs

    god fucking DAMMIT. we had it, it was right there, we had beaten the Chiefs, at their house. The streak was over. The Broncos had arrived. And bang, a blocked field goal and those bastards escape again.

    Football in New York is cooked. The Jets re the Jets, and right now teh Cardinals are giving them a beat down. The Giants lost to the Panthers. It is not going well.
    .
    The Patriots beat Chicago. Ouch.
    I ma pretty sure the Jags coach is about to get fired.
    The Cowboys stink.
    Dead cat bounce for the Saints.

    Yeah that was a brutal beat. Bo Nix starting to look decent.

    Cardinals starting to look really good.

    Showing how much good coaching can make a difference, the Chargers are quietly very good this year.

    Just cutting out dumb mistakes, improving special teams and having an ounce of injury luck and now they are 6-3.

    Payton having much the same impact in Denver. They aren't stacked with talent but they don't make dumb mistakes that hand their opposition the game.

    that was heartbreak hotel time. How often does that get blocked - 1 in 200?
