Observations from the Saints win over the Panthers

Crusader · 11-24-2019, 03:47 PM

1. I very seldom complain about the refs but today was a disgrace. Incredibly slanted officiating. The PI on Thomas being a great example compared to the stuff Carolina got away with.

2. I've been in Tedd Ginn's corner but I'm losing my patience with him. He needs to catch those deep ball. It probably should have been a DPI on the long one he dropped but it was in his hands and catchable.

3. Davenport was rather quiet again until it mattered the most. Great sack! And the athleticism to jump over the line and have an impact on the FG was huge. I am certain that affected

4. Christiam McCaffery is giving me a headache and he will probably continue to do so for many years to come. He is a great, dynamic player.

5. Great game by Jared Cook. It seems like he and Brees really are starting to find a connection. It will be important in the latter part of the season. Him leveling that dirty tw** Reid early in the game was a thing of beauty.

6. Brees threw the ball really well today. Looked like he had more zip on it than in some of the previous game. It felt like we threw it down field more than in any previous game of the season.

7. Josh Hill is a great blocker in the running game. He is the type of player that flies under the radar but is really important on a roster.

8. Four sacks but it still felt like we didn't create as much pressure as usual on defence.

9. I'm so glad our kicker is Wil Lutz and not Joey Slye. Poor Joey should get a gameball.

10. The run with Kamara on 4th and 1 was a bad playcall. We hadn't run the ball well in a while at that stage of the game and I believe a short pass would have been a better call.

11. Good average in the running game from both backs. Still feels like we kind of abandoned it in the second half. i don't know how much that has to do with the left side of the line being out.

12. I love watching Ron Rivera lose games. I hate that smug b******.

Well said !

Nick Easton with another great outing at LG. Thank God for this guy. Can we overcome Omameh or anybody else at LT in the long run if Armstead’s out?

Should have been playing more earlier. Maybe there is a reason Peat got injured.

Agreed on all points

They should have called for Drew to dive over or Murray to run it on that 4th down play. Cook is coming along well. We still need another receiver. Maybe with Kirkwood coming back, he can surprise us. Or we can bring back Dez Bryant.

I would like to see Smith on those deep balls instead of Ginn. They are about as fast now at this stage of Ginn's career and I'd like to see him get a shot at it instead.

Kicker meant everything.

dizzle88 · 11-24-2019, 04:08 PM

Ginn dropped Brees best pass of the day, I think that would have essentially put the game away. Ginn needs to be benched, dude will cost us a game soon.

PJ Williams, same as above, has one good outing and then gets beat all game.

Refs were inexcusable - worst I've seen in a long time. Thomas got called for OPI for hand battling, Greg Olsen literally threw P-rob and nothing called.

Defense has to get better, those long drives they allowed were unreal at times and letting McCaffrey out of the backfield uncovered was ridiculous.

Game ball to Lutz, he was the difference.

Great job by Brees on the 2 min drive, forgetting that earlier int - just cant trust Trequan or Ginn to be honest.

Cam Jordan's stupidity gave the Panthers life, no reason for that punch, even if it was intended for the ball. Davis had Allen locked up for a huge loss. That swung the momentum big time.

4. Christiam McCaffery is giving me a headache and he will probably continue to do so for many years to come. He is a great, dynamic player.

How many times did I see McCaffery release out of the backfield and there is no one within 15 yards ... If have a spy on anybody on this team McCaffery is the one. Later in the game they did a better job but after way toooo many burns jobs.
