I was wondering that same thing while watching bits of the game last night. Poor kicking, poor defensive coverage, tons of drops and the general idea that Atl REALLY wants to beat the Saints when they play are the main factors IMO.

Plus that was Trevor’s first start for us I believe. We probably would have fairer better with Winston. Of course your question may have ben rhetorical.

Yes because Winston would've magically made the receivers catch the ball. And his presence in that game would've made the defense not take a huge dump.

I don't think he would've been a factor at all. The Saints played down to the opponent and got their ass beat like they deserved.

Maybe not. I was thinking the familiarity between receivers and the QB would have helped, but maybe not. If your point is that QB play certainly was not the reason for the loss then I agree.

You and me both. I’ve got kind of a funny story about the end of that game. I had been at a bar all game watching and drinking getting pissed all game by the way we were struggling. Right as the Saints are driving and getting close to taking the lead in the 4th Q a Pats fan comes in and sits next to me. Now I’ve got a Saints cap on and I’m stressed and focused on the game and obviously don’t want to talk to anybody. So what does this guy do?...sure enough, start up a conversation. He goes on about how the Saints “got this” game. I’m trying to be as polite as I can as a buzzed fan watching his team trying to claw back for a win and say something like “We’ll see. I’m just trying to focus on the game”. Doesn’t slow him down from trying to engage me. I start to feel the bad mojo radiating from the guy.

I never make eye contact with him and focus on the TV screen. Saints take the lead and he gives me the “I told you!” routine. I mumble something like “Lots of time left”. Sure enough , Saints lose and he says “I thought you guys had that”.

Now I’m a bit of a superstitious fan. When I watch their games on TV I like it quiet and I like to focus. I turn off the sound because announcers suck. I don’t even like watching Saints games with my wife because if things go bad I tend to blame people I’m watching with. So, I turn to this guy and say “F$&k you dude!” and walk out the bar (I had already paid the tab). Later on I was pissed about the loss and upset at myself for what I said to the guy.

I was watching the Titans game at the same bar on the same TV (different seat) and the same guy walks in. We make eye contact...and he went to sit on the other side of the room.

Uhhhh.... We didn't sign Verity?

Guess we should have played them on a Thursday?

We played like a junior varsity team. The drops killed us.

Divisional opponent.

Matty Ice knows our personnel well + he had 4+ seconds to go through his progressions. Zero pass rush in that game.

Dennis Allen's 2nd half "prevent" defense didn't help either.

But at the end of the day, it's a week-to-week league .. ahh, the beauty of the NFL.

ANY GIVEN SUNDAY.
