Re: Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Bucs
 

Fair point.

It's clear that JW isn't healthy. Even more apparent on those deep throws ... something he has always excelled at.

How much is this on playcalling (Olave was force-fed today) or an injury?

I'll be curious to see if he sits next week but he needs to get healthy.

Pete needs to change up his play calling too. Not a lot of targets to Juice or MT.

Dline is fine. Hel the Bucs to 13 pts what's the fuss?. Only complaints should be coming from the offensive side. In which the Saints just missed on 4tds its one game and bad one for sure but there are positive. It's not the end of the world or the season rather these games now than later. Bucs couldn't stop the run, couldn't stop the pass Jameis just couldn't connect. On to the next week. 3ints are inexcusable though as well as Ingrams fumbles

Re: Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Bucs
 

The play calling should have been like the first drive the whole game. Taysom Hill is obvious run on 3rd n short. This offense is at its best when it's fast paced and spreading the ball. We have identity no need to find one. Ceasars Ruiz and Peat have to be upgraded at some point

Re: Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Bucs
 

Absolutely.

Re: Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Bucs
 

Jameis sucked ass today. Lol. That was my observation.

Re: Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Bucs
 

- The refs suck

- JW was the Tampa JW we all knew. Unfortunately, I think as long as he’s our QB we’re going to have to live with a couple of these performances every season. It’s just who he is.

- The pass rush through 2 games has been an embarrassment. We are getting absolutely no pressure. It’s amazing the defense did what they did against Brady even though he had all day

- Offensive play calling has been way to vanilla and predictable. I’d also like to see them mix it up a little whenever Hill comes in. Every team knows he’s going to do a read option and keep it himself.

- It’s one stinker. On to Carolina next week.

Who Dat

Re: Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Bucs
 

First pick was a throw that he tried at least 4-5 times earlier in the game and each time Olave was covered.

Second was over thrown into 4 defenders.

Third…. Well the two before the third pick were nearly picked.. he slings into too tight of coverage.


I’m not contributing the three picks to Winston being injured, injured makes you underperform, these were pure bad decisions .

Olave might be our fastest WR but he is not getting separation and doesn’t fight for the ball.

WTF was Allen during this meltdown?

Re: Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Bucs
 

Bucs had 3 forced fumbles, 6 sacks, and 3 picks.

Damn, the Saints offense gotta get it together.

Carolina is up next.

Re: Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Bucs
 

When Drew played hurt it was because, even hurt he was better than the next guy. All things equal I believe JW is the better QB, but with 4 fractures all things aren’t equal. You paid Andy Dalton for this reason so get him up and playing until JW is 100% healthy. I believe this offense was built for someone like Dalton. Now I am all aboard the JW train but only if he’s healthy and right now he is not.

Re: Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Bucs
 

This is why you don’t trade away your first round pick the next year for depth at WR and then jerk in your pants telling everyone its going to be #32 anyway. Stuff happens. Retread coaches are sometimes retread for a reason. Retread QBs are sometimes retread for a reason. Corrupt refs road girlfriends dont get tired of nice jewelery and white powder being left on the bedside table the morning after key calls go against the Saints. The Eagles are loving our lack of foresight.
