Re: Observations from the Saints win vs Seahawks
Dalton again, wasn't perfect but he looked like he saw the field much better than Winston would. His decision making and accuracy are way above Winston's.
We still need a franchise QB but Winston should honestly be 3rd on the depth chart. |

Re: Observations from the Saints win vs Seahawks
- Once again, Dalton looked serviceable, but at this point of his career is clearly just a backup. He doesn't appear to be able to make an explosive throw downfield like Winston.
- Taysom is a monster and perfectly suited for the role he is currently playing. Finally mixing in the pass was overdue, but adds the threat as someone mentioned earlier. - Kamara is a difference maker. We need him in the game badly. - Seahawks fans were gracious in the loss and just wanted to head to Bourbon to drown their sorrows. - Geno Smith showed why he was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week last week. He looked big and looked to move well and was extremely accurate on those two deep TD throws. - The defensive front looked very solid in stopping all but one run and put great pressure on Smith when called upon. - The Saints came out on top on two very close calls, the Metcalf "fumble" and the Olave "TD". Those have in the past have commonly gone against us. - Opening drive. Once again the offense marches right down the field on scripted plays and then stalls in the red zone on conservative play calling with what appeared to be from the far end of the field two right tackle dive plays for two and three yards. Dalton then misses Olave on a short pass to end the drive. - Injuries are plaguing the whole league right now. Harty and Olave both go down, but so did Penny for the Seahawks. I can't remember this many injuries this early throughout the league. - It was nice leaving the Dome a winner and the crowd was alive as it has been in a couple of years. A win is a win! - Penalties looked more under control with only six on the day, half of what Seattle managed to commit. - Gillikin is human with that late shank at a key time of the game. He looked disgusted while leaving the field. - Thought the offensive line did a good job of protecting Dalton and run blocking. Only one sack given up and a season high 235 yards on the ground. - Can't wait to get players back for the Cincy game next week. Expecting obnoxious LSU fans in the seats pulling for Burrow. Also expecting to see him on the ground a half a dozen times. ![]() |

Re: Observations from the Saints win vs Seahawks
I'm reading a lot of dogging of the Saints secondary here, but one must give Geno Smith a ton of credit. He made several great throws in which the defender had no chance to make a play. Some passes just cannot be defended.
Just a couple here. |

Like the combo with Dalton better than Jameis. We made Geno look better than he is and the rest of this season will show it. Curious to see Ruiz evaluation after this game. From my couch, hard to see but man was there a ton of pressure on Dalton. |

Re: Observations from the Saints win vs Seahawks
Gotta see what happens here 76. Geno, I believe, had set a record for highest completion % over 4 games in NFL history. The put up 40+ the week before. I’m not saying Geno is a great/good player, but throwing to those WRs had been working for them. I pointed that out before the game and Guido shut me down.
