The difference I saw from Dalton, was he looked like he actually knew the offense.

I saw him multiple times go through progressions and knew exactly where his outlet receiver was.

He wasn't perfect, but he managed the game, Winston would have thrown at least 2 or 3 picks.

New week. Same disappointing results. Untimely penalties. Careless turnovers. Missed opportunities all over the field.

I get there have been injuries but man... we are a bad football team right now.

Saints are a very bad team ATM.

It will be hard to get 7,8 wins this season.

No discipline.

They have a shot because the defense can be really good sometimes. But Dalton needs to stay the starter. JW is not the guy. And keep Murray in! The guy still can punish defenses!

1-3 before we've even faced the tough stretch. A lot has to change. And quickly.

Ever since they got their big contracts guys have not shown up...blah blah. Guys don't choose to be injured it's apart of the game. 4 games into the season not where we would like but it is what it is. Marcus Williams and Von Bell should still be Saints hate seeing them make plays for other teams. 12 more games to go alot more football to be played before its all said and done. A lot of positives to take from the game. Just have to keep getting better.

It sucks that we lost but I came away pretty encouraged with the rest of the season. I honestly thought Minnesota was going to kick our teeth in. While their receivers abused us(they do it to most teams), we barely lost a winnable game.

I can't emphasis enough that point made earlier about Dalton actually knowing the offense. Night and day. Anyhow...

Imagine Werner with another 10 lbs of muscle on him?

I'm no sunshine pumper but if we're healthy and with some luck, I think we can turn this around.

Echo that.

With this ROSTER, we should be able to turn things around.
