Andrew Juge of the Saints Nation stops by to join Ralph in congratulating the Atlanta Falcons on blowing the biggest lead in NFC Championship Game history. Is it small and petty? Absolutely but admit it, you loved it too. They then review their favorite Krewe Du Vieux float mocking Roger Goodell. The boys then discuss why a lot of coaches can't manage the clock and what might be the solutions. They eventually get around to talking about the Saints. The Saints are trying to extend Pete Carmichael and find a replacement for Aaron Kromer. Ralph wonders if after watching the title games he should re-evaluate the Saints off season needs? Finally Andrew recaps Scott Shanle's Twitter war victory over Atlanta Falcons fans and debate if Shanle is a Saints Hall-of-Famer.

Kevin Held and Dave Cariello join Ralph to discuss Aaron Kromer going to the Bears, was he a good coach and how the Saints replace him. Dave completely dominates this discussion like Rowdy Piper on the WWF. The boys then discuss why if America can ask the White House to build a Death Star then Saints fans can petition the President to issue an executive order making Roger Goodell give back the 2nd round draft pick. It's the most important thing Barack Obama might ever do. EVER. The boys discuss Manti Teo and his imaginary girlfriend, is Drew Brees a dork, and how much is 2013 being ruined because Sean Payton is not back yet. Yeah they shamelessly plug the petition one last time and it's a really crazy stupid idea but it's the offseason so just sign it. What the else you gonna do? Finally Ralph explains why Atlanta beating Seattle was as disappointing as any 2012 Saints loss and Kevin makes a Super Bowl pick.

Andrew Juge of the Saints Nation stops by to discuss if former Saints offensive line coach Doug Marrone getting the Buffalo Bills head coaching job means Pete Carmichael and Aaron Kromer are more likely to leave. Carmichael is one of the 345 people the Bears have interviewed to replace Lovie Smith. Andrew has an interview next week and he is very excited. Andrew gives his season grades for the Saints and the results are as you would expect for a team that went from 13 wins to 7. Andrew's four lowest graded players were corners. Don't act surprised. Should the Saints try to trade a running back? The cap situation isn't nearly as bad as experts would have you believe. It's time to retire 'Get Crunk' from home games. Andrew thinks Sean Payton will be a better coach in 2013 because of the suspension. Finally, the boys preview the playoffs and if Atlanta will give us joy by losing.

Kevin Held joins Ralph to discuss Spagnuolo getting tossed under the bus and what does it say about his ability to lead the defense? Kevin has a righteous rant about Roger Goodell not only ruining the 2012 season but 2013 as well. He's doing this by not letting Sean Payton return before the Super Bowl. The Saints may need to replace their two best assistant coaches (Aaron Kromer & Pete Carmichael) and might have to wait until February. Kevin also explains how Mickey Loomis can contact Sean Payton on the down low to get help hiring new assistants if need be. It might be Kevin's craziest, weirdest, espionage filled rant ever. SERIOUSLY. He and Ralph then play the name game and try to horrify each other with possible Carmichael replacements. Kevin and Ralph debate if the Saints will be viewed as crazy divorced guy if they hire their 4th defensive coordinator in 8 years. They end giving their playoff picks and Ralph explains what needs to happen to make both Saints and LSU fans happy.

Andrew Juge of the Saints Nation stops by for his final regular season visit. Now that the Saints gave up most yards in NFL history there shouldn't be any option off the table to fix things including firing Steve Spagnuolo. Can one guy change the Saints defense? Why depth at corner is as big an issue as the pass rush. Who is better option at safety Malcolm Jenkins or Isa Abdul-Quddus? The curious case of Sedrick Ellis' decline. What's Jermon Bushrod's value on the open market and what happens if Saints assistant coaches want to leave before Sean Payton's suspension ends? If Doug Marone gets a head coaching job will he raid Saints staff? And finally what memory will stick with Ralph and Andrew from 2012?

Andrew Juge of The Saints Nation stops by for a Holiday Recap of the Dallas win and why the Saints melting down with a two score lead was a good thing. Ralph argues Marques Colston is now one of the five greatest Saints of all time. Why did Saints interim coaching plan flop? Andrew has a great theory. Jimmy Graham's game saving play showed everything we love about him and the Saints. Ralph thinks the Panthers game should be a blast to watch as there will be points a plenty and which Saints player most needs to play well in the season finale? See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dave is MIA this week so only Kevin joins Ralph and they break down why the Saints miss Sean Payton for a bunch of small stuff as much as the obvious reasons. How will the Sean Payton contract situation go in the off season and why Tom Benson might go to the mattresses over it. What position was the most disappointing position performance on the Saints in 2012? Kevin wants the Saints to add a safety even if the young safeties continue to play well the next few weeks. Ralph is worried because the Saints don't have a 2nd pick they will reach for a player. Kevin explains why he both wants to have to watch Arizona beat Chicago to keep the Saints mathematically alive for the postseason and dreads having to do it. Ralph explains why the horrible season the Saints have had means they'll beat Dallas Sunday.

Andrew Juge of The Saints Nation stops by to recap the Glorious @#$ kicking of Tampa . Ralph wanted 5-11 when he was heading to the game but it was really nice to have just a great 3 hour fun fest in this awful season. The ceiling on Joe Morgan is what? Andrew gives the Saints credit for sticking with him. The Saints upgraded big time at LB in the off season but what do they look like for 2013? Young Safeties...hell yeah we'll be talking about Bush and the Q! Jimmy Graham's struggles continue but Ralph saw something that made him not too worried. Ralph and Andrew then discuss a theory that the Saints miss Sean Payton during road games and when in-game adversity strikes. Ralph even has a stat to back up his argument and isn't just making stuff up. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dave lays out in grand fashion why Goodell went off the rails and shot first and asked questions NEVER. Goodell IS NOT A NORMAL PERSON. Ralph wonder's about Goodell's legacy regarding the bounty investigation? Why Anthony Hargrove was saved by Brett Favre's penis. Why not let drunk Bobby Hebert loose on Goodell...YEEEHAWWW! Dave wants the 2nd Round pick back. Kevin explains why Goodell's suspension of Payton was more than just business it was personal. Why Mike Florio deserves credit for being hard from the beginning on the NFL in the bounty investigation and Kevin delivers a righteous rant on how the local media failed. Why Jonathan Vilma needs to press on because he has nothing left to lose. Kevin tries to figure out what's left in the 2012 season and why Chase Daniel needs to get playing time so we can figure out if he's a decent backup quarterback. Besides rooting against Atlanta who will the boys be rooting for in the playoffs.

Andrew Juge of The Saints Nation stops by and before he gets into the bounty investigation he breaks down the disaster in New York. He details the struggles of the Saints receivers to get open and why it's now time to see if certain guys on the roster can play. Is Tyrunn Walker worthy of being on an NFL roster? Can Isa Abdul-Quddus and Rafael Bush be an upgrade at safety and can Joe Morgan be Devery Henderson 2.0? Andrew also tries to explain Drew Brees' struggles and why Jimmy Graham missed Sean Payton the most. He and Ralph then try to figure out what the hell Roger Goodell accomplished with the Bounty investigation (HINT: NOTHING) and they also wonder what football will look like in 10 years.

Dave and Kevin stop by and the boys discuss what they think Sean Payton's reaction to Drew Brees' clock screw-up against Atlanta was. Let's just say Kevin's thoughts on Payton's reaction isn't fit for children. In discussing the Drew Brees' failures the last two weeks Dave comes up with perhaps the coolest rule change in the history of football. We call it THE BLUE FLAG RULE. Kevin calls out Ralph's hypocrisy on whether the Saints can still make the playoffs. The boys then get way off topic and discuss the Hornets name change to Pelicans, New York Pizza, and Tulane to the Big 12. Kevin gets things back on track with a brilliant take on the coaches use of Pierre Thomas and compares Dave to Lawrence Taylor. Oh and they do get around to talking about the Giants. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Andrew Juge of the Saints Nation stops by to break down the disaster in Atlanta. He compares watching it to watching the Heath Shuler led Saints. He and Ralph discuss if the Saints would have been better off if they had played the good teams on their schedule early in the season and Andrew explains why the offensive line has struggled and what it might look like next year. Ralph thinks the negotiations between Sean Payton and the Saints will involve playing the Atlanta game over and over again. The boys also start discussing the 2013 Draft because the playoffs aren't happening. They also pick the biggest surprise of the 2012 Saints season and the biggest disappointment. The answers might surprise you. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dave and Kevin stop by and before they discuss Atlanta Dave blames the 49ers loss on Drew Brees. Kevin wants the world to know that Thursday Night Football sucks and Roger Goodell is still a giant #$^&. Dave says Tulane will win the Big East Football Championship before the Falcons win a Super Bowl. He takes Ralph's question about what he would be willing to do to see the Saints beat the Falcons three times this year to an entirely new level. It involves Richard Simmons is all we can tell you here. The boys get to picking the game and crazy scenarios that might unfold. Then Kevin and Ralph are horrified that Dave has seen not even one James Bond movie. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Andrew Juge of the Saints Nation makes his weekly visit to break down the film from the loss to the 49ers. Ralph thinks the Saints might be closer to the playoffs even after the loss. Andrew explains why before Drew Brees' first interception the Saints had played their best half of football all year. He also thinks it's time to reevaluate how good Cam Jordan can be. Andrew gives a completely rational and simple reason why Pierre Thomas didn't play much at all. Ralph tries to figure out how the Saints can remain explosive on offense if they have to start their fourth string right tackle. The boys preview the Atlanta game, debate if the Falcons are a fraud, and decide which defender needs to have a big game. And Andrew asks if Ralph is willing to do something truly awful if it meant the Saints would beat Atlanta three times this year.

In an effort to make sure you get no work done Thanksgiving week we are giving one huge mega podcast! Dave and Kevin drop by and Dave gloats about Mark Ingram looking every pick like the #1 pick the Saints made him. Kevin is a bit upset about waiting 3.5 hours to see his doctor. Dave wonders how the Saints will work Darren Sproles back into the rotation. Ralph wonders how much longer does the Saints win streak need to go before Jeff Duncan drops the biggest troll column in NOLA.com history. Dave goes off on why Roman Harper better be ready to make amends against the 49ers. Plus, best and worst Thanksgiving dishes. Then Andrew Juge of the Saints Nations stops by to explain why the best thing about the Saints destruction of the Raiders is he still thinks the Saints have plenty of room to get better. He also explains how the Saints will function if they have to start their 3rd string RT against San Francisco. Ralph is excited the Saints defense in back to back weeks didn't have any huge blown coverages and Andrew makes a compelling case why you should hope the 49ers won last night.

It's too bad Dave couldn't make this week's podcast because he totally could have gloated when Kevin and Ralph admitted he was right about not giving up Mark Ingram. Kevin compares the Saints secondary to the Godfather Part III and it isn't a compliment. The guys also try to figure out why the hell it took so long to get Chris Ivory on the field. (Hint: Kevin thinks it's because Aaron Kromer was a horrible interim coach) Kevin worries Carson Palmer is going to light up the Saints defense and it will be awful to watch. Ralph thinks if the Saints are going to make a serious run in 2012 Jonathan Vilma will be involved in a huge way. Kevin also melts down over Drew Brees getting the shaft in a hypothetical MVP Race.

Andrew Juge of the Saints Nation stops by for his Monday visit to breakdown the Saints huge win against Atlanta and then The Angry Who Dat drops in to point and laugh at the failure that is the Atlanta Falcons. Andrew starts things off by breaking down how the defense has been excellent in the red zone two straight weeks. He also thinks the secondary is cutting down on mental errors and maybe just maybe the Saints are developing a pass rush. Ralph wonders if the Falcons stupid penalties and taunting of Curtis Lofton during warm ups show Atlanta is just a Super Bowl Pretender. The podcast gets a very special guest this week as the Angry Who Dat takes a break from mocking Falcon fans on Twitter and compiling horrible Falcon You Tube videos for us to laugh at to chat about the Saints season, the defense, and how if the Saints-Falcons meet in the playoffs he might have to quit the internet. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Andrew Juge of the Saints Nation stops by to explain if the pass rush we say against Philly is real, can running game stay consistent, and can the defense learn to tackle. Ralph then explains why a freak out over Sean Payton leaving is not warranted. Also it's Atlanta week which means let's bath in warm warm hatred. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dave and Kevin stop by to discuss if the 2012 Saints have hit bottom. Ralph wonders if the only thing separating the Saints from being the worst team in football is Drew Brees. Kevin melts down over the Saints history making defense and he's so delirious he wishes for the return of Kevin Kaesviharn. Dave wonders if the Saints will waste the rest of Brees' prime years. The boys try to figure out if Sean Payton having to watch the Saints defense from his couch might be a good thing as far as evaluating it goes. To lighten things up the boys play 'Game Time: How much do you care'. The question Ralph asks Kevin is so difficult Kevin for the first time ever is speechless.
