Observations from the Saints' loss to Carolina

Team loss all the way around. Striking contrast from the first outing. Guess we're not as deep as SP thinks. Officials had their say as well.

It's going to be a bumpy ride, buttercups. Hang on as the team transitions!

When Erik Mckoy is 100 again, he goes back to center.

Whilst I think Winston is undoubtedly better than Hill at QB, I am skeptical that he has what it takes to be the QB beyond this year.

I'm not going to jump on him straight away, because Brees had some really bad games too. But in a blowout loss, to throw for 111 yards and 50% completion percentage, that ain't going to get it done.

I'll reserve further judgment because we had a lot going against us this week anyway, but I saw shades of 30 INT Jameis still. Hope I'm wrong.

We had almost our whole defensive backfield out though. Im worried about the offense but i thought we where going to take a loss when I realized how many people we where missing. we Have to have better protection on the Oline too. Having our coaches present wouldnt hurt.

The only true positive of this game was Payton Turner. That kid looks legit

After first quarter I thought, we’ll he hasn’t lost us the game but he hasn’t won it either. Irregardless that kind of quarterback play will lose EVERY Time.

No excuses for the OL... Jameis practiced all summer with Ruiz at center. Peat's been curtailing his Popeyes outings. They just didn't show up prepared.

Regardless, the offense had its chances and blew them. Horrible showing.

Fair enough.

We need RECEIVERS. Guys who can create separation. Second week in a row Callaway was bottled up and we had no other option. I’m hopeful Kenny and/or Kevin White play more down the stretch.

Where is Trautman?

Jameis did not look great, but wasn't entirely on him. Defense looked very out of sync at times. Team loss all around. Credit to the Panthers, they took care of their business today.
