Saints Blow Out Cleveland, Now Half-Game Behind Bucs
November 17th, 2024
Nothing worse than a Victory Sunday for the slimy Saints, especially when New Orleans now has as many wins as Tampa Bay.
The Saints (4-7) jumped to 4-7 today with a 35-14 home win against the Cleveland Browns. It was the Jameis Winston returns game, and it didn’t go Jameis’ way.
The game was tied after three quarters and then it was all New Orleans with tight end/running back/quarterback Taysom Hill going wild.
The Saints’ win came on the heels of them stunning the Falcons (6-4) last week.
Joe sees the Saints’ revival after firing their head coach — following a seven-game losing streak — as a situation putting more pressure on Bucs head coach Todd Bowles. The Bucs simply cannot come out flat or undisciplined next Sunday against the brutal Giants in New Jersey.
Can’t happen.

We might finish last in the division. Who had that on their bingo cards for 2024
November 17th, 2024 at 4:41 pm
These Bucs under Lovie lose even when they don’t play.
So glad Lovie didn’t have them practice.
November 17th, 2024 at 4:46 pm
Shouldn’t happen, might still happen. See: head coach.

I picked up Hill in fantasy this week. Anyone still have N.O. as one of those easy wins on our schedule?
November 17th, 2024 at 5:02 pm
At a time like this, I remind myself that last year the Bucs were 4-7 after making CJ Stroud look like Joe Montana. Baker’s career was in life support and “Can Do” Canales was close to returning to writing embarrassing books about how he cheated on his wife while being addicted to porn etc. Bowles was as good as gone too. Then…a turn around. The playoff win last year provided a little too much bravado/false hope for this season me thinks.
Taysum Hill will run wild next go around vs The Bucs. He was out last time and The Rattler came crashing back to earth after a fast start.

I & many others warned that we couldn’t take the division stinking for grated forever. While I still don’t think any of the NFCS teams are world beaters, they’re making moves and getting better while we’re standing still. We could finish with the same record as Carolina, mark my words. And that would be them overachieving and us way underachieving. Even if it wasn’t bowles’ fault (it is) somebody has to pay for that.
November 17th, 2024 at 5:10 pm
So Denver really is different… not that I feel better about the loss, Peyton kinda has always had our number, but they are for real. Not Super Bowl good, but playoff good
November 17th, 2024 at 5:11 pm
Oh it can! We are lead by Toilet Bowles. He plays down to terrible teams all the time. I never expect a win with him at the helm! Sorry for being so pessimistic but he gives us little to no hope finding new ways to lose seemingly every week.
November 17th, 2024 at 5:13 pm
Falcons losing is good for keeping the Bucs playoff hopes alive….
And no the Bucs are not gonna last in the division smh 🤦♂️
November 17th, 2024 at 5:13 pm
I’m surprised you didn’t write an article, Joe, about Saint’s new interim head coach, Rizzi’s appearance on Mcafee last week when he said he called Todd Bowles for advice as soon as he got the head coaching gig. Thought that was interesting a coach would call a division rival for advice on being a head coach.
November 17th, 2024 at 5:21 pm
Then again if Falcons lose to Broncos Bucs aren’t too far out of first.
November 17th, 2024 at 5:42 pm
Get your popcorn ready. You all know what’s going to happen.
Danny Jones = All World vs Bucs defense.
November 17th, 2024 at 5:46 pm
Falcons definitely look like they are going down today. Expected better outta the Browns off the bye. Who is saying last in the division hahaha. With the Bucs schedule? 0 chance. Could they lose to NO and CAR, 100% and I fear those last 2 games of the year, but Giants and Raiders better have no shot. We will get outcoached by the Chargers but I am not chalking that up as a loss. Bucs have way more talent than those guys.
Gonna be a battle to the end, todays results don’t change much other than keeping the division win door open with the Falcons, hopefully losing today!
November 17th, 2024 at 5:46 pm
BTW :
Jessie Bates much better than Winfield Jr.
November 17th, 2024 at 5:47 pm
Just for those sky is falling folks. Here’s how the team stands against playoff teams if the season ended today
Playoff teams: 3-6
Non playoff teams: 1-0
Our last 4 losses have came against teams where we did not finish with either Evans or Godwin. Our last 3 losses either went to OT or almost went to OT. The last two against teams that played in the Super Bowl. If we had either Godwin or Evans I could have seen us splitting the difference and sitting at 6-4 right now. Good news is that our schedule is significantly weaker for the remainder of the year and we are getting Evans back here soon as well as Dean. This team is closer to being a good team than their record shows.
November 17th, 2024 at 5:49 pm
They are talking about benching Daniel Jones so they don’t owe him money. If he gets injured next year is guaranteed.
November 17th, 2024 at 5:59 pm
Falcons lose today & we beat the Giants next week we’re 1 game back with 6 to play. Then we play the Panthers & the Raiders while Atlanta plays Chargers & Vikings. We could be 1 game ahead with 3 to play.
November 17th, 2024 at 5:59 pm
Thank you denver
November 17th, 2024 at 5:59 pm
The problem with that ( benching Jones )…Drew Lock might be better. Tommy Devito could beat Bowles Buc Defense. Heck…Danny Devito might fare well vs the current scheme
November 17th, 2024 at 6:04 pm
Danny Devitto lol
Bravo sir
November 17th, 2024 at 6:09 pm
The Falcons and Cousins are pitiful. So glad our superior coach let us get swept by them.
November 17th, 2024 at 6:23 pm
Falcons getting SPANKED by Denver 😂😂😂!!
Bronco’s D is for real….
Our divisional race ain’t over!!!!
Rest up Bucs, buckle your chin-straps, and let’s get back into the race starting next week!!
November 17th, 2024 at 6:41 pm
Saints Bucs will be a revenge game for saints. Remember hanging a 50?
November 17th, 2024 at 6:43 pm
Falcons about to drop second straight. Here comes the Raheem collapse!
November 17th, 2024 at 6:46 pm
division getting tight af…
these falconi’s really suck…yeah they’ve got our number, but in general, they are average at best…i see them going 3-3 down the stretch to a 9-8 fin fin…
saints are heating up…
and we really gotta watch out for davey cantalopes and the panthers…they’re gonna want to steal a game vs. us, if it’s the last thing they do this season…
(and payton is 3 to 5 players away from competing with the chiefs for the division next season…dude is some kinda coach!)
November 17th, 2024 at 6:48 pm
it’s super clear…the falcons are not a better than average group…
they just ball out vs. the bucs for whatever reason
November 17th, 2024 at 6:49 pm
Why are you even talking about the Aints??
November 17th, 2024 at 6:56 pm
No way I can defend Bowles. He was inherited a Super Bowl team n what did he do, he choked. Look at what the Texans coach did with new team n coaches, look at what the commanders coach did. Bowles is not a good coach, leader or motivator. He inherited a 13-4 Super Bowl Brady team only to regressed to 8-9 then 9-8. That is unacceptable.
November 17th, 2024 at 6:57 pm
Never fear Blunderbowles is here. We will win if he is blunder free. That is the key.
November 17th, 2024 at 7:18 pm
I don’t defend Bowles. He may have inherited a Super Bowl team but he also got the price to go with it. What is happening is on that, Bowles and Licht. Draft players that should never have been drafted. Keep playing players that shouldn’t be no an NFL field. Don’t bring in help when it is available and yes they could do it. This is a total organization meltdown. Kancey is not the saviour he was advertised he was going to be. The guy can’t even get on the field to start the season 2 years in a row.
November 17th, 2024 at 7:19 pm
4th and 2…..Bills could play safe, kick a FG but instead they play to WIN! Bowles is such an unbelievable coward.
November 17th, 2024 at 7:20 pm
Bills beat KC. Crazy what playing to win vs playing not to lose will do for a team.
November 17th, 2024 at 7:21 pm
Falcons are NOT better than Bucs on even terms…..
1st loss to Falcons this year, Bucs had to travel to Atlanta on that Thursday nite game after that HOT Sunday game at home….
Bucs had no Vita, no Antoine Winfield, and no Calijah Kancey….
2nd loss to Falcons at home, Bucs had another short week from the Monday football game previous week…..Bucs already lost BOTH Evans & Godwin before this game….
Like I said, in full go And on an even field, I think Bucs are better than the Falcons
November 17th, 2024 at 7:24 pm
Gotta love it when every post is sent to New York for further review.
Way to go, Algo Rhythm.
November 17th, 2024 at 7:26 pm
We are the best team in this divsion. Our best hope to make playoffs is to catch and pass Atlanta. We played the second hardest schedule in history of nfl it took a toll on us physically and mentally.
We come back from the bye we go 6-1 win the divsion at 10-7.
That’s how I see it.
November 17th, 2024 at 7:30 pm
Bucs come out with a sense of urgency but could also come out slept like they were forced to sit through 3 years of Bowles press conferences in the bye week.
Doesn’t matter who loses in the division if Bowles is coach, he can’t beat the falcons anyway and we still have another game against the saints
November 17th, 2024 at 7:33 pm
Seahawks beat the 49ers and the Falcons lost both good results for us.
November 17th, 2024 at 7:39 pm
Wow !! What a call by McDermit ,,, 4th and 2 in FG range up by 2,, puts it in Josh Allen’s hands ,,, it was the only call ,,, you kick the FG you are up by 5 and Mahomes wins,,, you get stopped Mahomes wins ,,,
It was the only play !!! Bowles kicks FG and prays the D stops Mahomes ,,, the wrong call,,,
November 17th, 2024 at 7:43 pm
The way the Falcons took a spanking today I believe 9-8 may take this division.
November 17th, 2024 at 7:43 pm
The result we all need happens after the season is over in January. We will find out who Jason hires to succeed BA. BA’s loyalty to his proteges was his biggest flaw. This dude we haszn now has shown every possible reason why he ain’t it. Stifle a productive offense. Collapse a promising defense. Game management decisions truly the worst we’ve ever seen.
November 17th, 2024 at 7:45 pm
We have several teams looking at playoffs….if you give Lions, Sf, Phil & Atl division titles……you still have Packers, Vikings, Cardinals, Seahawks , Wash with better records….we only have tie breaker with Wash…..
November 17th, 2024 at 7:54 pm
My point with all these teams is that 10 wins is not a guarantee…we need the division.
November 17th, 2024 at 8:25 pm
yeah division is the only option people…
we ain’t going in as a wild card with the likes or wash, gb and minn lurking in the wild card spots
November 17th, 2024 at 8:29 pm
It’s a long season settle in Joey.
November 17th, 2024 at 8:46 pm
Agree Adam no chance of a wild card. Bucs have to finish 6-1 to win division due to losing tiebreaker with Atlanta. Falcons aren’t going 8-9. Saints aren’t out of it yet either. If they beat the Rams next week they only have 2 teams with winning records left GB and Wash both beatable.
November 17th, 2024 at 9:06 pm
88% chance the Bucs come out against the Giants flatter than a 12-inch silicon wafer. Giants score a TD on their opening possession, 7 plays, 75 yards, making it look like 7 on 7 drills. I know, it never happens.
Oh, wait.
Giants 32 Lovies less.
November 17th, 2024 at 9:21 pm
10-7,,, total chance at wild card or division,,,, we would have the NFC tie breaker ,,, for any multiple 3 or more tie
November 17th, 2024 at 11:12 pm
After Lovie loses humiliatingly to the Giants, the talk will be how we can run the table and finish 10-7. While that talk makes zero sense, it will be the talk. After a few more losses, a dead snook and a few acolytes will bring up the same ole excuses.
It won’t be enough to save the Masturmind. He’ll be assistant AD at Temple, bringing expertise on how to develop a positive mindset while constantly underachieving and losing.
