Observations from the Saints come-behind win against Falcons

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; We saw the best and the worst of what the Saints have to offer all in one game. Very fortunate to sneak out with the win. Holy heck, I forgot how this sport plays with my emotions....

Re: Observations from the Saints come-behind win against Falcons

* The o-line looke like a hot mess to start the game. Armstead was sorely missed because Hurst was struggeling mightily in pass pro.

* We didn't create any real push in the running game. The running stats are heavily inflated by Hill's long run.

* As much as it pains me to credit a Falcon, Cordarrelle Patterson is the type of guy I wish we had as a runner. Big bruiser typ that just takes off downhill in a flash. The D picked it up and made a much better job of stopping him late in the game.

* Pete Werner looked really good. Great athleticism and the Pete-punch to knock the ball free was a great play. It feels like he still has a ways to go to reach his ceiling.

* Thomas is back.

* Jarvis Landry had a sneaky good game. Mad som really important plays.

* Olave with some nice catches and his first real NFL points on that conversion.

* Good job by Lutz shaking off that first miss and hitting two FGs later.

* Great effort in blocking that FG. Koo is a tremendous kicker indoors.

* Winston's 4th quarter stats are certified insane. Throwing for over 200 yards in a quarter...

* Shy Tuttle played that run really really well stopping the Falcons in a crucial situation.

* Is 26-10 the new 28-3 now?

W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.

Confession, I stopped watching at halftime. Trying not to get too worked up about this stuff.

Problem is now my superstitious self will be afraid to watch the rest of the season since they played better once I stopped watching.

LOL! My wife did the same thing. She said next week I should use her ticket to the Bucs game and just bring a hooker off Poydras. LOL!

Uh, no!

Who knew there are hookers on Poydras Street. The secret life of Guido?

Don't be showing up in a short skirt and wig, Smash, hoping for a free ticket.

Re: Observations from the Saints come-behind win against Falcons

A comeback winner on your fiercest rivals home field speaks volumes about the team! They did send a message today and have a 27-7 away record since 2018! I think only the patriots had a better away record in 2005-2009!

Demario Davis are pretty darn savage for doing that. Any military man knows what it means to claim your opponents flag.
