Good breakdown of the Saints cap situation moving forward: https://twitter.com/Jason_OTC/status/1584543184062861313?s=20&t=eYGrgLfVQUchT2F1qleS5w https://overthecap.com/looking-ahead-to-the-saints-2023-salary-cap quote:To make matters worse for the Saints they made an absurd trade this spring where they sent off their 2023 1st round pick and 2024 1st round pick to add an extra first rounder in this year draft. The selection became Trevor Penning. Penning has been on IR all season. It was a “win now” move of sorts for a team that had no business thinking they were a “win now” team. That is really the biggest lesson everyone should learn from this. When you do not have a viable QB on your roster in no way shape or form can you trade away a future number 1 draft pick unless it is for a quarterback. Rather than scouting the potential QB of the future the team is just hoping that they don’t have to watch the Eagles get a top 10 draft pick next year while the Saints try to navigate an old, expensive, declining roster.

Even if the Saints cap situation finally, after all these years, implodes well it was still completely worth it because it was pushed off for all the years the team was good.

It's a Bucs life is from the 2010s era. But yeah, that defense was fun as hell to watch.

Relentlessboredomm posted:the team is definitely underperforming its talent which i think you've got to put firmly on Bowles but the offense being putrid is largely brady being cooked. like they should not be good bc brady is cooked but they should look better than this. Your leading rusher had 24 yards, your starting RB had 2.4 ypc, and your defense gave up 3 TDs to PJ Walker and Chuba Hubbard... but it's Tom Brady's fault?

CharlestheHammer posted:How many tds did Tom score He would have had an early one if Evans didn't bobble it. The whole momentum of the game would have shifted if we scored like that on the first drive. The blame falls on the entire offense, it's been pathetic. Also the play calling sucks, stop running Lenny when it's 3rd and 1!

That's a slight relief, only one year of losing a top 5 pick, we should hopefully be bad enough to get the #1 in 24

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Is it unfair he’s usually spoken in the same breath as Dilfer? yea, he was much better than Dilfer. the big shift going from Dungy to Gruden is that Gruden could give the offense just enough of a spark to get them over the hump. everyone hand waves the superbowl which is fine bc the big wins were them finally beating the eagles in the playoffs. its like this year. if the bills beat the chiefs in the playoffs does anyone really believe they're going to have trouble with the nfc in the superbowl?

The Bills will be and should be favored by like 13.5 points over everyone but they’re still the Bills in a Super Bowl. There’s scary unnatural forces at work there.
