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.

Cardinals offense was abysmal versus the Seahawks yesterday.

So was the Saints defense.

Giving up more than 30+ points in 2 games. Currently ranked 28th in points allowed.

Don't you have lower level seats??

? This defense is underperforming big time.

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.

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.
