Observations from the Saints win vs Patriots

Saints win convincingly against the Texans.... They proving me wrong... if not, .... oh well.

I expect them to win...convincingly.

Just because I don't think that the Saints isn't a train wreck doesn't mean a get right game means that everything is turned around. There is no doubt that the Pats are now a bad team with significant problems and should be dominated. The Texans do not seem to really be that team.

At this point the Saints' biggest problem is consistency. The offense sputters sometimes. The defense plays great for 3 quarters, then seems to let go of the rope. The punter booms some great balls inside the 5, then shanks one. Actually Groupe has been the most consistent. But even he could not pull it off when all the chips were down.

Today we saw all three phases work together consistently for an entire game. Really good to see. But as you rightly ask, can they do it again? And again after that? That's what it's going to take to really elevate this team to where we would like to see them go.

Ahh there it is…the key word,consistency. A large part of the members who are on this board and myself will agree that this is a very talented team on both sides of the ball, probably the best we’ve had in years and that produces a large amount of optimism and expectations. There are a good bit of members that b**ch about results and that may come across as haters or lack of fandom but that can’t be further from the truth. Some may call it lack of consistency, which may be true, but I call it lackluster coaching.
Always great to get a win, but when it happens more ‘consistently’ against better to good teams, then I’ll be more optimistic and feel like we’re playing up to what I and many feel we have with this team and I’ll stop being a ‘hater’🙄

	Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
