Saints lose to the Broncos

November 21st, 2004 by Chris H.

Saints 13, Broncos 34

“That’s the worst performance I’ve seen of our club in the 20 years that I’ve owned them.” - Tom Benson 11/21/2004

Maybe reality’s finally starting to set in for Tom Benson. Buddy D. says he thinks Benson “might have missed a few games.” I agree. But what’s it gonna take Tom? Is this rock bottom?

Is Tom Benson going to realize that now, maybe now - it’s time to make some changes - to realize that we need to take a drastically different perspective on how a football team needs to be managed?

In my amateur opinion … everyone in the City of New Orleans knows the Saints started going downhill quick, after Benson fired General Manager Randy Mueller in 2002. You can’t listen to talk radio for 10 minutes without hearing Mueller’s name brought up. That was 2 years ago.

Why was Mueller fired? Because he criticized Benson’s “management style.” If I was Benson, I’d call that guy quick and ask him what I’m doing wrong, and suck up my pride.
