With all the bullshit going on this season I figured I would try to lighten the sub up with this awesome piece of art featuring our G.O.A.T.

The grades are not that good from the Saints loss to Pittsburgh.

Do you think we nailed it?

Here’s a look at the current roster, practice squad, IR, and depth chart heading into the bye week!

How do we feel about the current state of the roster?

What the title says, except I'm a huge football fan trying to make a lame joke.

Not a Saints fan, but I love to cheer on the local team (when allowed. Sorry, Bills) and get experiences at as many places I can. I'm coming to the Saints/Browns game in two weeks. I'd love to say hey, come share a beer with, etc. anyone tailgating. Been to NOLA a lot but never for a game.

What does the scene look like before the game? Any good tailgating/hang out spots? I'd love to contribute and hang out! Can anyone walk me through the pregame culture? Thanks 🙂

Hi all, I am wondering if anybody has seen or knows about an edit I saw online about 1-2 years ago of the Saints defense set to 94 Ghost Shit by Westside Gunn. It was on either TikTok or Instagram and I can't seem to find it. If anybody knows about it or has a link I would greatly appreciate it!

In contrast to the mood in here, is there anything good you have seen with the team in the season so far? Any bright spots on the rise?

The last few years, various NFL teams have been running more plays with two and even three TEs at a time. Teams do that to get bulk on the field for run plays, and create explosive pass plays.

Have heard that the Saints are running two and three TE sets at one of the lowest rates in the league. Is Kellen Moore not using multi TE sets because that's not how he runs "his" scheme, or is it because the top 2 are both receiving guys, one a WR convert? Seems like it'd be a great way to jump start the run game.

During the 2024 Eagles regular season, their total first quarter point differential across all 17 games was -11 (scoring 69 points while allowing 80 points). The team famously struggled to score opening-quarter points, failing to record a single first-quarter point in their first seven games. They also failed to score in weeks 11, 13, and 14.

In the first 7 games of the 2026 season, the New Orleans Saints have a total first-quarter point differential of -21 points. We got a touchdown in week 3 but missed the extra point*

Throwing out the 2025 season because it was the first year of rebuild and we started Rattler. But if you're curious, the total point differential was -93

Kellen Moore needs to figure out how to start games better

Loser: The Saints’ Five-Year Plan

Saints owner Gayle Benson, who took sole control of the team after her husband, Tom Benson, died in 2018, watched head coach Sean Payton and Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees gut out a 1-2 playoff record in the 2019 and 2020 seasons, the final act of the 15-year partnership that changed the fate of the franchise. Payton wanted out a year later, and Benson and general manager Mickey Loomis—who has been with the Bensons in the New Orleans front office since 2000—are on their second coach in five years since. They have zero playoff berths to show for it. 

Benson said two weeks ago that the Saints’ standard wasn’t acceptable, and things don’t exactly look better after an ugly 16-10 loss to the zombie Steelers in the NFL’s first game in Paris, the designated territory for Benson’s Saints as the league continues to expand internationally. 

The list of problems is extensive. Head coach Kellen Moore and his staff aren’t maximizing the few bright spots on the team. The defense under Brandon Staley continues to get burned. The bulk of the roster is laughably bad because Loomis has wasted resources by trading up for draft busts and by constricting cap maneuverability with contracts fat on void years. And worst of all, the Saints seem to be in denial about it: Loomis, for instance, is adamant that the lows they’re experiencing are growing pains often associated with young players and coaches.

“We have to make sure that the processes are right and that the development is correct, and then we’ll get the outcomes that we want and expect,” Loomis said last week. “But we’re a young team, a young, developing team, and we have to recognize that. I recognize that. We’ve got a young coach, 23 games into his career, and that’s where we’re at.”

What’s odd is that the Saints have one of the oldest rosters in the league (by snap-weighted age). Second-year quarterback Tyler Shough is going to be 30 on his next NFL contract. And while Moore did enter this week with only 23 games coached in the top job, he’s been a coordinator at the NFL level dating back to 2019. He isn’t that new.  

Benson recently made it known that she isn’t happy with the Saints’ standard of play, and Loomis publicly dealt out blame pie to his coaches and players before the team dropped a dud in Paris. Moore and Staley certainly deserve fault, but they can only coach the players they’re dealt. Loomis is responsible for this staff and roster. If change is going to happen, it has to start with him. 

His job title is offensive coordinator but I know Kellen Moore calls plays and the offense doesn’t really seem to be very coordinated at all especially in the run game. Maybe if Kellen isn’t fired he should bring someone else in?

Need to get in on some of that Colts purge how great would it be to have Jonathan Taylor?

If so who are some guys yall think we should draft?

An 8 time pro bowl G went for a 3rd round pick...A 3 time pro bowl DE for a 4th...would you back the Saints if they made a similar trade for position of need? Or do you want them to hold on to draft picks?

Nick said something along the lines that we had a week of practice while the Steelers had a few day. Is that true?

Aside from the Atlanta game, we have been ”in” every game. So if you believe we do not have talent, you must also believe that the coaching staff is doing well enough to keep us in games. And that it is only talent holding us back from making the crucial plays to win.

Personally, I see it as entirely on the coaching staff. We may not have elite talent, but any coach can win with elite talent. And if that’s what you need to succeed, you are a bad coach.

Our team has absolutely no identity. Not on offense, or on defense.

Our offense is ”Let’s hope Shough can make a play, preferably to Olave.” If you are requiring your 2nd year QB who’s never played a full season in the NFL to be perfect in order to even be competitive, you will not have any longstanding success.

Our defense is “I hope Chase Young gets a sack, or we get a lucky turnover”. I’ve said it in here before, but the 3-4 is completely outdated and will not work in today’s NFL.

When’s the last time we schemed a guy to be wide open? Because it happens to us at least once or twice every week. And I dont think our ST’s even need to be brought up. We all know how badly they stink. Although, our punter is Good enough.

There needs to be a big change from top to bottom before we come back from the bye. Moore is not responsible for just the offense. He is the HC. If the guy he hired can’t do the job on defense or ST, that’s on HIM. It is HIS staff. That also applies to the OC and OL coaches. All of it.

Why isn't anyone talking about this??? Shough is gonna get a big payday and big QB paydays always hurt team building

Examples:

Pat mahomes - can't afford good receivers

Josh Allen - can't afford a good defense

Joe burrow - can't afford good o lineman

Dak Prescott - can't afford a good defense

A great QB on a rookie deal is your one shot to build a complete team around him without holes. Maybe we do like the Chiefs and kick money down the road to extend the window???

Context: Every year I put out a bowl of candy for my neighbors in my Denver apartment building for all of October. It’s my way of spreading joy and always giving thanks to all the building staff and delivery drivers who pass by.

Last Sunday, I was walking out the door in my Saints gear at the same time as my new next-door neighbor who happened to be head to toe in Panthers gear. We both laughed and I muttered a “oh man, BRUTAL” as we went opposite directions.

Flash Forward to this Sunday at 7:30am: I remembered my candy bowl had been running low so I went to go refill it. To my surprise, my neighbor had refilled the bowl (image was taken later in the day after ppl had taken lots) and left a note saying “Go Panthers”.

How would a Saints fan respond to this kind, but rivalrous act? Hard to chirp when we’re 2-5 and getting beaten by 43-year-old QBs.
