Observations from the Saints win vs Patriots

SmashMouth · 10-08-2023, 04:38 PM

Carr looks healthier and it showed. Makes you wonder whether the Saints chose wisely last week in not sitting DC4.

RB Miller , S Bowden , LT Penning look much improved. Kamara getting his legs back also . MT as well with decent production .

First shutout win in a minute or two. Defense did its job.

Bresee is the real deal.

OL still much work in progress.

An almost great play for a TD by Olave.

Need to find a punter.

Enjoy this win. Always good to beat a BB coached team.

This was a shadow of BB, with a shell of a bad team. A WIN always feels nice, but y’all have to admit… We ain’t the shizzz at this point. We have tremendous talent, and our D looks legit, but our weak-a$$ coaching and management are going to get a pass after this win, and I’ll still be munching aspirin between cigarettes in the coming weeks. WHODAT!

Olave really needs to learn to hang onto the ball when going to ground.
That stuff happened a few times last year, I know the game was well out of reach when it happened, but that's an easy TD he has to get.

If that happens in a tighter game, then he'd have cost us.

Great performance by the rest. Alvin and the D especially

Okay…my opinion…. It was great showing of play and a fine display of talent. Expected.
Sorry, but it begs me to ask, are the Saints that good, or are the Patriots that bad. A win is a win, and they should win as convincingly going forward.

I bet the Patriot fans are all saying …. Good job guys, maybe next week.

Oh… The Prima Donna… 4 catches.. zero touchdowns. Meh. Kamara the thug less than 100 total yards, 22 carries, single touchdown. Better then Thomas. Expectation: quality play for which they are paid for, to shut me up.

The Patriots are 0-3 at home, a bust at QB & have been out scored 68-3 over the last two weeks.

They are flat out awful.

Where was this Saints team vs GB & the Bucs?

But you’re right, a win is a win.

Big picture, Pete Carmichael still needs to lose his job.

I have to call you out on this.

Look, when the initial reports on the drama around MT's injury and the coaches came out, I was hard on him too. I believed what was written and wanted him off the team.

But since then, it's impossible not to see how coaches, players and reporters alike have all supported MT and echoed his importance to this team.

A Prima Donna is defined as "A temperamental, conceited person". All I've seen from MT is a guy who supports his coaches, fights for his team and wants to win more than anything else.

At this point you're grinding an axe that running out of metal

Critical is fine! And you are free to name call here - just be prepared for a challenge.

And it's all in the name of respectful debate.
