It comes down to two things. Shitty coaching and shitty QB play.

Daboll is more about being ****ing cute than he is playing to this team's strengths. RAC can't be the DC and HC at the same time. Cassel flat out sucks and he's dragging this team down because he's causing the strengths to be mis-used and defenses can stack 9 in the box and win.

The Saints have given up 38 points per game against two very different offenses.

Daboll should be able to craft something semi-effective. And I know people don't want to hear it but turnovers (not Daboll's fault) have really killed the O.

Well, against Buffalo, the possessions went punt punt punt punt punt fumble punt fumble or something like that. I don't have much confidence that Daboll really knows what he's doing.

They are questionable, but everyone knows the major weakness of this team is at quarterback. If you improve the quarterback situation to top 15 in the league even the players above you mentioned will look a whole heck of a lot better. Example: Colts with and without Peyton Manning.

LMAO Kool-aid Oh YEAH!

One thing I know for certain...the offense will never score if they keep losing 5 yards on ****ing sweeps and shit. Which seems to happen EVERY DAMN DRIVE.

I understand what you mean. IMO, the O plan for the Atlanta game was pretty good. The Buffalo game, not as much. Is it bad playcalling? Some of it. I didn't like the dump offs on 3rd and long which weren't converted especially when they were able to convert those against Atlanta. But, on some other drives the execution was just so poor. Euchus, Lilja, Asamoah and Moeaki were getting blown off the bal and/or run over.

The offense for Atlanta would have been ok if the defense could have gotten a damn stop. I expected this defense to be stout. I really did. Sucks.

I don't think Daboll is a particularly good OC. His playcalling is very Herm like from a run/pass standpoint.

I also think he's severely limited by Cassel and it shows in how he calls the game.

Last year Haley tried to "fix" Cassel. This year they're trying to make what he does well translate into a productive offense.

FAIL

And mostly because the run blocking stinks. Our running game was a huge bag of shit in that first half against Buffalo. That exposes Cassel, and he shows his ass to the world.

Lets give him a little credit. Being an OC for an offense led by Matt Cassel is one of the toughest gigs in the league.

Darren Sharper says we should be able to pound the ball right down their throats.

He thinks the Saints start 0-4.

It's complicated. Generally speaking, over the course of many games, the better teams are going to win more games. If some team can get on a streak in a weak division (...cough, cough...Broncos...cough, cough) they have a shot at doing anything. That's what makes the playoffs so exciting though. It comes down to coaches and players who have that "it" factor but it's more than "clutch". It's playmaking ability, situational awareness, football IQ and some luck.

Take the DEN-PIT playoff game last year. I think the Steelers had momentum and would have won that game if Rapistburger could have gotten his game on just a little bit earlier. Shit, PIT had all the momentum of a piano falling from a three story window. I'd say if they had gotten the ball first in OT they would have won it. But It was just a bit too late. DEN calls that one play in OT, Tebow manages to make that one good throw, Thomas gets into a perfect situation that plays right into his strengths...game over.

Crazy shit.

The Saints are 32nd in run defense.........after playing Cam Newton and RG3. I wonder how much of that is because of the QB.

This is why I rape Cassel with at least 6/10 posts.

The longer he is here, the longer we waste time.

I don't give a **** about the defense. It can be fixed. There's talent over there.

THERE'S NO ****ING TALENT UNDER CENTER.

Yeah, and we all ****ing agree with you. Except for LAChieffan or whoever else that believes he's a "top 10 QB".
