There is this positive. Of course, our leader in dropped passes the last few years is returning this week, Kamara.

So the ball that hit Olave in the chest in the end zone isn't considered a dropped pass?

Saints release Tre'Quan Smith from IR.

He's now a Free Agent & can go sign with Denver if he chooses to do so.

The Falcons are signing OT Storm Norton off the Saints practice squad. FYI, this isn't much of a loss TBH.

This just goes to show the dearth of offensive line talent available out there right now across the entire league.

Still waiting to see that drop, ice. :confused: Every target is in the video so it should be easy. The time marker would work.

Thanks in advance! :D

Maybe it’s not considered a drop because it didn’t hit his hands but in the chest between the 1 and 2. Maybe not a drop because he possibly stepped out of bounds before the ball caved his chest in.

Excellent stat through 3 quarters for the Saints CBs though.

Love converted on that 2 pt conversion (Latt) ...

Love throwing (on Issac's side) a rainbow to Reed with 4:00 left in the game.

Love backshoulder (on Issac's side) TD pass to Dobbs under 3 min for the go ahead score. Never understood why Allen didn't give Issac any help late.

Jordan Love was meh most of the game but when it mattered most ... man he cooked :chef: our CBs.

Yes. And I may be petty-homer guy but those last second PI calls were gifts for the Packers.

I went back and found the play-by-play in the boxscore and double checked it against the individual defensive stats. The defender on that play, Keisean Nixon, was targeted three times for the game. He gave up two completions and had one Pass Defended. That play was where he was credited with the Pass Defended because he got a hand on the ball before it got into the body of Olave. If you go back and watch the play again you'll see that. BTW, you cannot have a dropped pass and a pass defended on the same play anyway.

But, I believe you are right, cmike, had it not been deflected by Nixon Olave may not have been able to get the feet down in bounds anyway.

Yes they were. Love was one for seven passing on that drive. 67 of the 80 yards came off those two penalties.

You’re right Ice but no way should the Saints
have blown a 17 point lead late like that.

Notice how Philly, KC, Bills, MIA (usual suspects) put teams out
of their misery by attacking, leaving no doubt & out of the Zebras hands.

I’m on to Tampa 🫡.

On the game day thread, no one questioned whether it was a drop or not. Most were curious why Carr didn’t throw it to MT13 instead. Vilma immediately commented and said Carr shouldn’t have thrown it there and got lucky that the pass wasn’t picked.

We don't attack late in the game. Instead, we go into prevent defense way too early and allow them to get back in the game. We play not to lose and then we lose when we take our foot off the other teams throat and get a big fat "L".

I agree and said that in the game day thread.

Solid breakdown on Ramz vs GB & Oline woes by Deuce W. Roughly 16 min listen.
He even touches on the Yankee Concept (routes & Carr holding onto the ball too long) starting around 16:35.

Hopefully Doug Marrone is adjusting, giving guys help across the entire oline. Tampa won't do us any favors, especially coming off a dominating loss on national TV.

1st place in the NFC SOUTH DIVISON IS ON THE LINE here.

How can the NFC South Division be on the line? I thought we were supposed to sweep everyone in our division. We lost to Carolina, again. Nonetheless, we could still easily win the division, but it will be more of a dog fight than a cake walk if Dougie can get these big boys blocking. If not, it's going to be a long season chewing on antacids!

Ha! You don't want to get behind in the division early on.

"Easy" at this level ... nonexistent in my mind.

And we defeated Carolina 2 weeks ago ;)

Um, we didn't lose to Carolina, Rugs. We beat them week two.

So Pete C gets yet another playmaker (AK) back on Sunday.

Question is : How will he utilize him against the Bucs?

Gruden was in Metarie earlier this summer ... use some of the concepts he implemented/suggested. Screens, playaction on 1st down (see Detroit game last night), get the football out early. No need to stand back there with this terrible oline and get your QB destroyed & take more sacks.

It's a copy cat league. Do what the Lions did last night. Philly vs Bucs or MIA (Tua has taken only 1 sack so far) vs Denver.

Change it up, get more creative on offense. With the WR/TE & RB room, there is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be scoring UNDER 24 ppg.

Help out your defense. They are good enough but you can't expect them to be on the field all game (7 punts vs Pack) long.

Coaching matters. Even at this level.

We have athletes that can create with YAC. I don’t understand the philosophy of this offense.

It really shouldn’t even matter. Burrow went to a Super Bowl with a ****ty line. We have the talent to overcome it. Nobody has a perfect team so it’s really no excuses. Coaching is just ass.

+1.

I'll share a glarying stat (at least it stands out for me) here:

"The Saints have scored 21 or few points in nine consecutive games, dating to last season. That matches the Bears for the longest streak in the NFL and is the longest run of offensive importency since 2005 for the Saints" :bugeyes:.

Better fix this Dennis, Pete and Dougie Marrone.

It's not going to get any easier at this level & no one wants to hear the excuses. This team is loaded offensively.
