Saints 8.5 Point Favorites Over The Chargers (WK 5 Pre-Game Discussion)

[Charge!]

Based on pre-game appraisals, we should be 2-2. KC & TB were down as L's. Interesting that we were very competitive in them.
Still 1-3.
One less stupid player mistake in each, we'd be 4-0.
Whatever.
Too many brain farts. Not sure how to make the team stop screwing themselves.
How does Bill do it?

Yes we could be 4-0, but if not for a stupid mistake by bengals, they would have won and we would be 0-4....

The thing I fear most is that old school Lynn will only evaluate his QB's by record, and not how the games were won or lost.......so this team needs to get a win with Herbert at QB..... If team starts winning with Herbert at QB Lynn will have no choice except to stay with him, but Lynn keeps saying he thinks he can win with either QB, which we all know is not true..... Taylor might be able to beat the 2-3 worst teams on our schedule if everything goes right, but ha has no chance of beating any teams that can score points.....

Taylor ranks higher in his mind not because he has played good or great, but because he is 1-0 (by lucky fluke mistakes by CIN).....

Herbert has had us in games with a chance to win, but Taylor would have been blown out in against KC and TB...... not sure that Lynn can see that..... Hoping that TT has been "discussing" this issue with him.....
If Lynn puts Taylor back in as starter over Herbert, Lynn should be fired immediately.....

Coaching, plain and simple.

This is a big part of it.....

And an ingredient it seems we Again are lacking.

Almost always close games. Mostly losses.

They lose games for a reason, not by chance.

My only wish on this game for the offense to not be predictable on the first possession of the second half. Against the Bucs, the chargers called two runs that resulted on a third and long. Of course the other team knows we have to pass so they send the pressure that resulted in a three and out. This is after we already know running the ball was ineffective. I’ve seen it happen way too many times under Lynn.

We consistently play to the level of our competition. This organization seems to b content with being average. That goes way beyond the head coach. Great teams come out & punch teams in the mouth regardless of the team they are playing.

Through Week 4, Herbert leads the NFL in passing yards thrown for under pressure with 433.

Take note opposing DCs
blitzing is risky

Saints should relocate to a less hurricaney city
San Diego would love them
mostly out of spite for the Chargers haha

Sure. Open up the playbook and let Herbert throw more on first down.

I’m curious as to how wide open we can stretch the field.
experiment with 4, 5 wide (fast wrs)
coach JH to throw it away early if in danger, just experiment a little

Who’s starting at Qb?

I don't think Lynn can do anything he wants this is Spano's team and we have a GM too.
