Observations from the Saints win vs Titans

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.

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

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

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

IF the Titans would have ran the ball with Henry 25 times we would have probably lost. That being said, their coaches were stuck on stupid today.

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

I think they tried later, but the Saints D adjusted .

If you look at our division after todays results I think its a 3 way race for the lead. We came in the favorites but slugged out an ugly win against a bad team. Bucs came in the underdogs but were able to beat the Vikings who many see as the best team in a better division, and their QB played clean. The Falcons had the most dominating win but against the Panthers who may also be a bad team. We can't take anything for granted. I don't think we are competing against powder puffs here.
