I tend to always look at coaching first, The Saints lead the league in striped balls and take aways, why, coaching, their coaches stress it, Bill Walsh teams rarely fumbled or dropped passes why? it was a major point of emphasis!

So when will the breaks go our way? when our coaches demand perfection!
Philosophically I agree with you but there is a time when players are to blame. The Walker fumble is a good example. He has been here four years and knows full well that he must tuck the ball high and tight. He held it too low and it was an easy strip.

Also the tip by Dunbar is another example of a player who made the right play but the defense played better on that specific play. That is on the players, not the coaches.

Don't paint with a brush that is too wide.

That punt that Adam's muffed took a bounce like you never usually see. It just went straight up and just sat there. 99% of the time it would go either left or right but that one just stayed there.

Preparation + Opportunity = Luck


The Saints were well prepared, and when opportunities presented themselves they took advantage - our bad"luck"


No more turnovers and no more penalties and we will be a real good team.

yes our coaching can be frustrating at times but im sure after last yrs costly and idiotic mistakes im sure the staff preached holding on to the ball and when to go after punts and practicing from a juggs machine for punts. you cannot ignore those mistakes in practice, its getting to the point you have to blame our low iq players and ask when the f**k are they gonna grow up and stop shooting themselves in the foot??

You don't think that our coaches demand perfection? You're also talking about our #3 PR and #2 TE guys who really shouldn't be seeing the ball that often.

Preaching is one thing, taking the time make players do it over and over in practice is another, running the right drills, and teaching the best technique, thats good coaching. Just preaching is not good coaching.

Details are always boring, keeping players on task when working fundamentals is hard. I can't imagine trying to pound fundies into the heads of super star prima donnas would be like, it is hard enough with kids!

You mean like how we fixed our issues with getting the play calls in that we had last year? Don't assume anything. Our coaches are horrid.
