Observations from the Saints' Win vs Panthers

How’s Michael Thomas doing with his recovery? I’m wondering if there’s a possibility he could come back if we make the playoffs. 🤔

I think he’s eating sammiches with Peat till next year. Probably lucky if he’s ready for training camp.

The Saints have a defense that is good enough to win the Super Bowl, but their offense looks like a 1970s expansion team. Pretty much sums up the entire season and what I seen yesterday.

What you saw yesterday isn't our offense. It is what we have out there while major pieces were missing. Big difference.

This offense has underperformed from day one. Everybody seems to be aware of that but you...

Yesterday's game reinforced everything we already knew.

- Our QB situation has been bad since Winston went down. The only way to be successful there is mix in designed runs to keep a defense thinking.
- The O line is struggling when most of them are backups
- Kamara is a superstar
- This defense is stellar. Kwon and Demario are great together. Cam can still turn it on, and Davenport is a force when healthy. All the other guys on the D line do their job and bring it when necessary.

- Kamara is a superstar

Got to say, I don't see it.

AK has been largely disappointing this year. Likely due to a poor O line, but I think this year will be his worst since entering the league.

At one point he had 12 carries for 0 yards, then rips a 30 yard run off. He was missing holes and running into blockers, the announcers made note of it twice.

In addition to our poor O-line AK injured his knee and tweaked his hamstring in the Atlanta game.
Up till then AK was over used for the most part. Unfortunately we have not seen a 100pct AK.

I know we are missing damn near the entire starting O line, however, I like the way Marquez Callaway continues to make plays downfield.

Still believe he's a solid #3, but he has a high ceiling.

Hope that we get a healthy MT, add a stud FA WR & then draft one in the subsequent draft & we're back in business offensively.
