·58 min·5 clips
The Saints become the first NFL team shut out this season in a 34-0 loss to the Packers, sparking a raw postgame reaction.
The episode is a solo live reaction show hosted by Chris Rosvoglou following the Saints' 34-0 loss to the Packers. He opens by stating this is the first shutout in the NFL this season. The host immediately criticizes the defensive performance, noting the Packers' running backs had their way and the Saints couldn't tackle. Offensively, he points to poor protection, ineffective running, and the underuse of Kendre Miller. He analyzes rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler, criticizing his inability to vary pass velocity and noting only three good throws out of thirty. The discussion pivots from game specifics to a broader franchise critique. Rosvoglou argues the game should be a final straw, necessitating new voices in the building from top to bottom. He blames GM Mickey Loomis for poor drafts, bad signings, and a lack of roster talent, stating he has no trust in the current leadership. The host predicts the Saints will be bad for at least the next two to three years, possibly not being good again until 2028. He engages with listener comments throughout, addressing topics like missed tackles, coaching candidates like Aaron Glenn or Mike Vrabel, and the team's lack of exciting players. Rosvoglou reiterates that the team needs to draft well and find the right head coach, but is pessimistic given recent history. He closes by hoping the loss forces organizational change and thanks listeners for engaging on a difficult night.
