Observations from the Saints Trouncing of the Packers

SmashMouth · 09-12-2021, 10:57 PM

In a stunningly one-sided game, a Saints team that had to vacate New Orleans because of Hurricane Ida rallied to turn in perhaps the most impressive performance of Week One, dominating the Packers with a 38-3 beatdown.

Although it’s always inadvisable to overreact to the first game of the season, this game will re-shape how we look at both teams, with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers now facing major questions about whether they’re really contenders, and Jameis Winston and the Saints looking like a real threat to the rest of the NFC.

Rodgers had one of the worst games of his career. He simply never got the Packers’ offense moving, and struggled with accuracy and finding open receivers against a good Saints defense. When he was pulled for Jordan Love in the fourth quarter, he had completed 15 of 28 passes for just 133 yards, with no touchdowns and two interceptions.

The 38-3 loss was the worst of Rodgers’ career.

We kicked Arse.

Kris Richard …

Put his players in position to make plays. I’ve always been impressed with his game plan. Seattle, Dallas, & now New Orleans.

They gave Rodgers the business all game.
