I would actually be OK with McCarthy. He had a really good 4-year run as Saints Offensive Coordinator in the early 2000s. Until Brees and Payton and the pass-happy trend we have now, he had the best offenses in Saints history and usually near the top of the NFL season rankings. We won our first playoff game ever with McCarthy as OC. And our QB was Aaron Brooks.

The Galley had a good bit of variety (kind of like a grab and go food hall). For dinner, Mexican, Italian, and Korean BBQ were the best to us. Also most bars have some sort of food menu -- grilled shrimp, wings, sliders, etc.

I thought they lost it on the 3rd down call when we sprinted Carr out and did a direct snap to Kamara for no gain. When your O-line is getting crushed in the run game, the direct snap has a pretty small chance of working with a smaller back. I'd have been OK with Taysom, but that was not a great call in that circumstance.

Raiders were a prolific passing offense with Carr and Gruden. Top 10 or close to it every year. He didn’t suddenly forget how to throw a football.

Our offensive design is the problem.

The paper's English translation speculates that the Saints could have a return trip to Europe this year to play the Patriots in Frankfurt.

The Pats are the home team and possible opponents include Buffalo, Miami, NYJ, Chiefs, Eagles, Chargers, Commanders, Saints, and Colts.

Divisional games are most likely out and Chiefs are hosting their own game in Germany, so that leaves Eagles, Chargers, Commanders, Colts, and Saints.

What are the chances they'd send us back to Europe?

I've always love the way the dialogue between Moses and Nefretiri.

Nefretiri: Oh, Moses, Moses! Why of all men did I fall in love with the Prince of Fools? Why must you deny me and yourself?
Moses: Because I am bound to a God, and to a people, and to a shepherd girl.
Nefretiri: A shepherd girl? What can she be to you unless the desert sun has dulled your senses? Does she grate garlic on her skin or is it soft as mine? Are her lips chafed and dry as the desert sand or are they moist and red like a pomegranate? Is it the fragrance of myrrh that scents her hair or is it the odor of sheep?

We don't need to trade for a WR unless we're trying to get a legit #2 to compliment Thomas. Callaway, Harris, and Humphrey are going to be fine as long as they don't have to fully carry the load. We also have Johnson, but I don't know if the Saints are looking at him exclusively as a TE or another big WR.

Trading for a guy who's another 3rd wideout at best doesn't make sense.

I travelled quite a bit when my son was younger, but had enough flexibility to ensure I didn't miss much.

I actually got off the road when he got to high school. I just felt like being home every day as he was beginning to transition to an adult and as he began to navigate social relationships and outside influences was critical.

I was never the biggest fan of drafting WR early, but the guys coming out of college are such big time difference makers now that you really need one. It seems like there are 4-5 guys in each draft that are matchup nightmares for defenses right out of the gate, whereas in the past, it took receivers a few years.

Getting one of the top college WR on a rookie deal has to be a priority.

This is an issue. I was at the game yesterday and it was clear that our receivers rarely created any separation.

I’m not sure if it’s scheme or route running, but Jones had guys running wide open regularly and we almost never did.

What did we have yesterday? Montgomery was I think 3rd or 4th round pick, our tight end was 5th I think, and everyone else undrafted.
