Observations from the Saints' Win vs Falcons

SmashMouth · 12-18-2022, 04:16 PM

It's a win. A win is a win. Did I say it was a win?

Messy game but in the end ... It was a win.

Slim... Extremely slim playoff chances alive , still somehow.

Landry continues the dropsies. Juwan Johnson continues to improve as a TE.

Let's see what happens as the season nears its end.

Do either 3Quan Smith or M. Calloway still play for the Saints?

* We swept the Falcons!

* Good to have Werner back but he looked alittle rusty. With the emergence of Kaden Ellis we all of a sudden got 3 really solid LBs.

* Juwan Johnson is becoming what we all have wished for at the TE position. And he still have quite a ways to go to reach his ceiling.

* Glad we finally got a TO but we really are making it hard for ourselves.

* Still too many penalties.

* I saw Penning body a guy on the play right after the turnover.

* D-line isn't playing cohesive football. It looks like they are all running different plays at the same time.

* We got two tremendous rookie WRs. Just tons of big play potential.

Sweep!

“ The all-time record for the series is currently tied at 54–54, after the Saints victory on December 18, 2022.”

They tried to give it away at the end, with Dalton taking a sack at the five and the fumbled snap.

A rookie RB slashed our defense for 150 yards

Offense looked great in the first half, not as good in the second.

Alontae Taylor let a pick six go right through his hands. And they called a BS PI on him later.

Overall better play calling

Think we can get anything for Michael Thomas at this point?

HAPPY that we got the win. NOT HAPPY about how close we came to losing.

Was able to listen to most of the Saints game. Glad we held on.

We won and the rest of the NFC South lost. Another day in paradise LOL.

Watched that second half of CIN vs TB and there were some pretty prominent "Who Dey" chants going in Tampa. Warms my heart!

Glad we won. Even in a bad year, sweeping Atlanta is a highlight.

Should not have been close. But it was and we're still a bad team.

Pray that Eagles beat Cowboys and rest starters in week 17. But they won't since a higher draft pick is on the line.

Goose is cooked.

I'm glad Juwan Johnson is a RFA this off season.

	W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.
