The guy is a good QB but more importantly he has good/elite weapons (I like to refer to them as route runners) + a solid pass catching TE.

Cooper Kuup (ask Lattimore), Robert Woods & Van Jefferson. Then add in a guy who can blow the top off (see last game) in Desean Jackson. That will be difficult to defend in the post season. There was a reason why Matthew wasn’t succeeding in Detroit. Not much around him (see Winston).

Saints don’t have that type of offensive firepower, but we do have an above avg DEFENSE.

Long season though, keep grinding.

Right, look at what Goff has to throw to in Detroit at least Stafford had Golladay. Though Goff still sucks anyways

Re: Observations from the Saints' Win over the Patriots

I agree with most of this WW, except for labeling him as ineffective and for saying it’s basically the same offense. Without Thomas, a proven secondary receiver to Thomas, and a capable pass catching TE it’s not the same offense. TB and TH had these things while filling in for an injured Brees. Due to Thomas’ selfishness Winston has had to operate without this luxury.

You take away the Carolina game where they got mauled and ran for something like 8 yards then Winston has 7 TDs, no Ints, and like a 62% completion percentage. I call that effective.

Main observation is that it’s nice to have a W to eat.
