Observation from the Saints loss to Bengals

Lots of things went on in that game. Let’s not forget Burrough pulled 2 amazing plays out of his….hat to win that game. That was Mahomes/Allen level stuff. That’s what Jamar friggin Chase does. People think we are the first team to give up plays to them? Jeepers, seems like some users have very unrealistic expectations IMO. Playing without our top 3 WRs and it’s surprising we struggled in the red zone??!! Playing without top CBs and Safties and it’s a shock that Cincy had big offense plays? SMH. Again, take away the BS roughing the passer that helped keep their drive going and/or call the PI where Kamara got knocked off his feet and we got a different outcome.

Three biggest problems this year IMO are:
1) Lack of practice time together as I’ve pointed out is a result of shorter preseason and new players. As the season has gone on that continuity has gotten better.

2) Injuries. Enough said.

3). Refs. I firmly believe that a min of 2 and likely all 4 losses would have been Ws with even FAIR treatment by the zebras. Tampa is 1-5 without Refs help.
