Observations from the Saints win vs Titans

SmashMouth · 09-10-2023, 03:23 PM

It's a win... that shouldn't even been that close. The refs did a commendable job of trying to screw the Saints. Defense is legit... and why DC4 will prosper here as a Saints QB .

Overall a valiant effort. Games are hard enough to win. It shows good character to be able to overcome the challenges .

On to the next victim next week. Let's enjoy this , Who Dats! We have the best record in the league, even better than the reigning champions.

O line has to get better, number 1.

Proud that our guys battled. Carr and Shaheed made up for their own mistakes with big time plays.

Defense, what can I say.

Tannehill was perplexed out there. They made Henry a complete non factor, other than a few runs here and there.

Granderson is a beast, how Marcus Davenport took playing time from him I'll never know.

Still a lot of work to do on offense but a win is a win. Kudos to the defense. I was very happy with Grupe. We have a LOT of potential on offense and I hope we can continue to grow from here.

Boy did the Titans come into this game with a bad game plan.

Tannehill is below average. If the Titans actually sport a better QB, maybe they pull this one out .

Tannehil missed 2 (TWO) easy TD's. We got away with one today.

O-line and running game need work. Happy with everything else. Carr is our guy, been saying it.

Good - bad - and ugly

GOOD

1) DEFENSE
2) Carr - not superstar play, but played well - far more positive than negative plays.

BAD

1) Have to run the ball better
2) O-line has to play better

UGLY

1) NFL officiating still sucks

Dude we had at least 2 major calls go our way. We can’t play the penalty card today.
Oline and running game problems go hand in hand so bench Penning and we are good.

Yeah I agree on the first part.

As for Penning, this is career start #2 for him. His foot speed and lateral movements need work … coach him up !

I believe he”ll improve with film study & reps.

Correct - the officiating sucked. I don't disagree that the Saints were both benefited and harmed by calls today. I am not saying we were screwed over (although i have seen it happen MANY times) - I'm saying the refs look bush league.

I just wonder if the NFL will ever be able to lock down 1) what is a catch 2) what is pass interference 3) when a player is down or OOB

Every year the rules seem to waver - adds for a lot of room for the outcome/scores of games to be manipulated.
