Observations from the Saints' Win vs Falcons

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?

Probably not a whole lot since it would have to be a team that could take the cap hit for us.

I believe it's us that would be taking the cap hit if we for some reason chose to trade him. $25.452 million in dead cap.

I was under the impression that the other team could pick that up too? I might be wrong but didn't the Browns do something like that a couple years back?

I would think a team would have to be pretty desperate to take on a 25 million contract and an injured player who has not played but a few games in the last 3 years now.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. So, you just never know what a team will do. Especially the Browns.

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