Good post man. i was just trying to get through to all those Reggie bashers who thought he was God until the Saints got him. now they want to worship Mario and get on their knees in front of him.....
It might help, if you'd find a post of one of those Reggie Bashers, demonstrating Reggie's fall from Godlike status...... I think it would be fun, as I was against drafting Reggie from Day one...... not that he isn't a god, but because our coach makes runningback gods....
So we aren't in the same position as more desperate teams..... teams whose starting backfield already get's paid more than many teams complete offensive unit........ and this is before Reggie is even signed......(a bit of hyperbole)...
I actually consider mysel a Saints fan (I've been following them since the Ricky Williams trade)............. I think you screwed up with signing McAllister for such a long term with so much gauranteed.... to me, that loks like a mistake, given his health concerns, and since he may never be what he used to be....... drafting Reggie might have been the best thing you guys could have done. Right now the money looks goofy(and you haven't signed Reggie yet) but I'm sure you'll get all that squared away in the next year or two......... bye-bye Duece......
And before you start arguing with me about Duece, that is the only way drafting Reggie makes since. Concerns about McAllister's health. Even though you also have Benette.
anyway............ there were only two reasons your team couldn't win.
#1..... you'd get a lead, and try to sit on it..... makes no sense. 3 and out, and your defense couldn't hold.
#2..... your defense couldn't hold..... why not?? You give away DEs like Darren Howard, so you've got a pass rush...... but your secondary, and Linebakers couldn't hold.
Now, what have you done about your linebackers and secondary?? that's where your Wins and loses will come from.
