Re: Observation from the Saints loss to Bengals
Exactly what I was about to post, Boston. This isn't on Allen or Carmichael nor would any respectable franchise see it that way. Could there have been a bit more aggressive playcalling? Perhaps. But fielding a team littered with backups in place of key starters is not conducive to winning close games. Just as with Payton's great job last season facing much of the same, let's see what happens once we finally start getting some frontline players back. Every game has been close enough to have been a victory with a better bounce, or call, here or there.

Re: Observation from the Saints loss to Bengals
Yup. And where is McCarthy now? Sitting with one of the better records in the entire league.

Re: Observation from the Saints loss to Bengals
Meanwhile what happened to this DEFENSE?! The tackling was atrocious. Didn't hear Tanoh, Davenport, or Cam's name called once. Why was Payton Turner a healthy scratch?
Giving up over 30+ points over the last two weeks ... Redbirds, Raiders, Ravens & Steelers won't feel sorry for us. Don't look now but the Panthers have traded Robby Anderson to the Cardinals & they also get Hopkins back (6 gm suspension) for our game on Thursday Night . No Lattimore on Thursday ... and we saw what Chase did to Roby/Adebo. |

Re: Observation from the Saints loss to Bengals
One can only hope they do better. I can say that missing Lattimore really hurt against Chase. He looked to be just outmuscling the defense.

Re: Observation from the Saints loss to Bengals
CBSSports.com Week Six Grades
Saints B With several of their biggest receiving weapons out due to injury -- including Jarvis Landry , Chris Olave and Michael Thomas -- the Saints turned to their ground game and their rushing attack almost did enough to pull off the upset here. The Saints averaged an absurd 6.7 yards per carry in this game (34 carries for 228 yards) and a big part of that was because they had three different players who had at least one carry of 30 yards more. The problem for the Saints offense, though, is that it couldn't score in the red zone. On five trips inside of Cincinnati's 20-yard line, the Saints only came away with one TD. The other problem with the Saints is that their defense can't stop anyone. The unit was supposed to be a strength coming into the season, but it has now given up 28 or more points in three straight games. |
