This is very important. The week of the TB game Carr only practiced once and that was limited. That's why 16 of his passes went to Kamara down close. Last week while he was still limited he practiced every day and the difference was obvious. This week ...

Expect to see a convincing win...convincingly.

This should be a close game. If we win close like the Falcons did we are in the hunt in our weak division though still behind the Bucs due to the head to head blowout. If we lose close, not much different, just one game behind in said hunt, but we are not going anywhere in the playoffs for sure. If we win a big blowout that is impressive and maybe we can entertain competing with second tier teams like the Lions, Cowboys, Bills, or Ravens, not on their level yet, but competing. If we lose a big blowout then we have been blown out by the Bucs and lost to two teams Atlanta beat and we should look at trading players ahead of the deadline and maybe bring in Gruden or Leftwich as OC.

I think where your thinking may go left is that the outcome of a single game is determinant of how the season is going to go. The 2023 Saints are a roller coaster of inconsistency with each game being an individual matchup that really cannot be compared to either other Saints games or other teams games against the same team.

We just need Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to be Dr. Jekyll all the time. And we have not seen that yet.

So, look to consistency. Can the team do the following consistently:

1. Run the ball and stop the run.
2. Move the ball without penalties, bonehead throws and drops.
3. Score TDs in the red zone.
4. Take the ball away and not give the ball away.
5. Grupe makes the kicks he need to make and Headley punts consistently.
6. Do all of the above for 4 quarters regardless of the competition.

When they do this, they win. When they don't, they lose. For example they did this for 3 quarters against Green Bay, then dropped the rope. They did 0 of these against the Buccs.

But right now they can't both be going to SuperBowl and going in the toilet at the same time. Just need to see if they can to the above consistently. We saw it for 1 game. Let's just see if they can extend it to 2.

Could the Saints make a change at left tackle ahead of Week 6 Texans game?
