NFL pundits are having a real difficult time giving the Saints any credit today. It's more about poor GB than about what the Saints successfully accomplished to get this shellacking done. Same as always, really.

Let us stay under the radar. :bng:

Re: Observations from the Saints Trouncing of the Packers
 

Charlie Weis definitely gave the Saints credit for the win this morning on NFL Radio. He praised both the defense and Winston's decision making.

Re: Observations from the Saints Trouncing of the Packers
 

And underestimating a sound defensive ball club. Good depth on the Dline, sound corners and a plethora of linebackers who have closing/sideline speed.

I even saw Pete Werner rotating in at LB late in the game.

I rarely ever watch Skip and Shannon anymore. Only on special occasions.


Today is a special occasion :)

Someone I would have expected you to be familiar with given his background. He's a regular on XM's NFL Radio, hands down the best 24 hour source of NFL news on the radio.

Re: Observations from the Saints Trouncing of the Packers
 

This was a rhetorical sarcastic somewhat amusing question... I think we all know his background. XM radio is not a source this peasant in Mandeville relies on. :bng:

Re: Observations from the Saints Trouncing of the Packers
 

Re: Observations from the Saints Trouncing of the Packers
 

Understood. XM has been a must for me for many years. Probably twenty years or so, if not longer.

What I love about the NFL Radio channel is that its only affiliation with the NFL is that it is their subject. Unlike the NFL Channel on TV which is owned by the NFL, everyone on NFL Radio is employed by SiriusXM which is owned by Liberty Media Corporation. Unlike NFL Network, they are free to share all the criticism they wish of the NFL. The guests are mostly local beat writers and others not associated with the NFL directly. Great info!

Starting around 1:50 or so, did she throw some shade at Brees arm strength?

Re: Observations from the Saints Trouncing of the Packers
 

Even Brees himself did it to himself on SNF. The Brees knows, has been knowing for years. We may never know until we are six feet under, but I believe Brees and SP had a deal in place for Brees to retire before TB became available. We find out later TB actually wanted to come here. Brees' pride, methinks, got the better of him and he re-upped for this two year deal, the dead money of which we're seeing now. Brady went to TB, we got Jameis whom began his apprenticeship under SP/Brees, and the rest is history.

Maybe long term we win. Just how many more seasons can TB jam in. If SP can do with Jameis what he did with Brees, maybe we do. Let's enjoy the show for now.

Re: Observations from the Saints Trouncing of the Packers
 

Could not agree more, Smash, with any of that. I saw the same where Brees basically said he couldn't make the Winston throws anymore.

The guy we were making fun of 5 years ago is making us look like a Super Bowl contender. It's why you should never make fun of someone, it often comes back to bite you in the ass.

Re: Observations from the Saints Trouncing of the Packers
 

Sound logic. But often ignored. Especially by me. Lol. Cmon man. The guy stole crab legs, acted like a complete fool all the time and tried to hype his team up by eating a W. Even his own team was looking at him like...wtf? Lmao!

It's still one of my favorites.

The guy even said this summer that we have the best "condom" instead of tandem. In his post game interview he gave credit to the trainers. But when asked what they told him, he couldn't remember. Lol. Cmon man!

-Great organization win.
-One of Payton's best if not the best.
-New secondary coach is the truth.
-Winston at his best.
-Kamara is the best in the game.
-Harris is a difference maker.
-Throckmorton is a big dude and stepped up.
-Jones has the talent.
-McCoys injury is concerning.
-Trautman needs to catch the ball.

-The defense fly's around.
-Williams at his best.
-Adebo is the truth.

-The Packers OLine and defense are not good.

Yogi Berra was a great baseball player who acted the goof and said some of the whackiest stuff ever heard. Nothing wrong with laughing at a guy if he can take it and perform.

Something else I appreciated about Winston’s performance that I don’t think has been mentioned enough is his mobility. I was discussing this with my dad and we agreed his early scrambling for first downs was a big thing. Twice I believe he escaped pressure and ran for a first. I sometimes wished Brees had done that more (maybe the difference is being 6 foot vs 6’ 4”) but knowing you have to worry about Winston pulling it down and running has to be a problem for opposing defenses. I don’t want to see it a lot for injury/fumble reasons, but’s a nice tool to have in the bag.

Re: Observations from the Saints Trouncing of the Packers
 

And Winston was heavier and did not have that footspeed when he was a Buc. Glad he put in the work to slim down and be more athletic, it paid off. No one is going to confuse Winston for Lamar Jackson, but it's good to have a QB who is at least a moderate running threat.

Re: Observations from the Saints Trouncing of the Packers
 

Actually, three times! Twice in the first drive (11 and 15 yards) and again on 3rd and 8 in the second drive with a 10 yard scramble.

Re: Observations from the Saints Trouncing of the Packers
 

I checked NFL.com after the game looking for highlights. The only thing posted on the front page was an article about Jordon Love making his NFL debut. Nothing about the actual game or the Saints. When I scrolled down there was a tiny link buried in with a bunch of other stuff.

Re: Observations from the Saints Trouncing of the Packers
 

He definitely showed his athleticism but that last one was a little scared.

Re: Observations from the Saints Trouncing of the Packers
 

Has anyone heard from James Jones yet. I’m pretty sure he’s made some excuse from under Rodger’s nu* sac.

Re: Observations from the Saints Trouncing of the Packers
 

Re: Observations from the Saints Trouncing of the Packers
 

There has been some, but most coverage I’ve heard and seen has been along those lines...”What happened to Rodgers?”....”Was this because of his attitude and actions?”...”Why wasn’t Lefleur prepared?”....”Should the Packers be worried?”. Very little credit given to the team.

I say good. Screw em’. Keep flying under the radar and don’t eat the cheese!
