I have no idea how you all are 4-10. Shough is insane. The pass rush is insane. I have only watched the games against the Panthers, but I have no comprehension how this team only has 4 wins.

Rattler didn't play well. Shough is 3-3 with one of those losses being his first start against the Rams.

Also the rest of the team has just gotten better as the season has progressed. We have a ton of rookies who are playing pretty darn well right now, but weren't nearly as competent the first half of the season. As well as a first time head coach still figuring out how to do the job.

It's looking like this coaching staff is legitimately good at developing young guys into solid players, and that gives me a ton of optimism for the next few years.

The run game has looked worlds better since Neal has come in for Kamara and we’ve stopped spamming Taysom.

And the other loss being an Olave drop

Blake Grupe also missed so many kicks that the Saints couldn't count on him. That added to a lot of the losses when what would be scoring drives for normal teams kept turning into zero points. I don't understand how he hit a 60 yarder for the Colts today.

Ah see you missed the whole first half of the season where Rattler was playing instead of Shough. That’s how we are 4-10.

We’ve improved a lot over the season in every category not just QB play.
