What Purdy is doing out there is flat out insane.

Those tight windows, with accuracy. The first TD pass was amazing.
A 7th rounder? QB? Going against a tough, experienced Dallas defense?

That’s why many Saints fans are tired of the excuses on why we can’t get it done with the level of talent. And their defense hasn’t skipped a beat without Demeco.

Coaching is top tier though

.

Niners, Philly & Dallas are tough outs in the NFC.

Amazing isn't it about QB Purdy? Our very own Jake Haener should be close to this guy. We won't see him for a while. Brock Purdy didn't play until late in the season for SF. It does take time to assimilate the play book.

If we had their head coach Carr, Winston, and Haener would all be balling. That scheme is beautiful. It opens up so much opportunity.

You can say that every mid to late round QB should be Brady, Purdy, or Cousins etc but the truth is that the vast majority of QBs drafted in these later rounds are not stars. You can't just take a 5th rounder and expect they will be close to Brady because he was a 5th rounder or because there was some vaguely similar biographical element like being stuck behind an entrenched starter most of his college career but having good size and a live arm. Haener is a lottery ticket until he proves otherwise. He could be the next Purdy but there are 20 other failed mid round picks he could be like instead. He could also be like 1998 6th round pick John Dutton of the Miami Dolphins who was drafted in hopes of being a successor to Dan Marino but instead became a 2x Arena Bowl champion and later the fictional governor of Montana. So it is just as likely that Jake Haener will go on to be a fictional livestock commissioner n cable TV as that he will be the next Brock Purdy.

I think we have the talent to beat all of those teams, it's going to come down to execution and coaching. The last thing we want though is to end up playing the Niners and Philly in the same playoffs.

When Dennis and Pete can defeat a good team, I”ll believe it.

In the past two seasons, they’ve only beaten a 9-8 Seahag team and
Hurts/Eagles.

Niners are levels above the Saints. They play like those old 80s/90s teams now with no weaknesses. Dallas is a solid squad that got destroyed.

Saints just pimped slapped a terrible Pats squad & now some think we can hang with the Chiefs, Niners or Philly?

Slow down brother

Now this here is some pretty pessimistic "cautious optimism".

You aren't getting my point. I think we can defeat them, I never said we were better than them. We are on the rise and in the playoffs it comes down to one game at a time. By the time we get to the playoffs, we could be much better. Right now it'd take one hell of a performance to beat either team, which is exactly why the prospect of playing both of them terrifies me. Right now we may be able to pull a game out of our ass. I'm banking on us getting better though and evening the odds some more.

Brother, this team needs to worry about the next opponent ... the Texans.

Then focus on the division (we are 3rd atm) ... you know, the teams like Atlanta or Bucs. Some have already forgotten we were flat out embarassed by Baker Mayfield

in the dome 2 weekends ago.

Maybe you missed my point ... ONE GAME AT A TIME.

We aren't good enough to take coach Don Shows (West Monroe High school legend) approach by circling teams off before the match up.

But carry on ...
