Re: Observations from the Saints' Surprise Win vs Panthers

when there is nothing to play for; aka no pressure... Saints seemed to play more relaxed and just enjoyed the GAME; Good Win and take it in.... but then again, beating a 1-11 opponent ...isn't saying much. Maybe shoulda taken the loss and get a better draft slot for rebuilding.

flag football days... we had a play called the "dead roach" offense snaps the ball and the entire offense falls on their back and kick their legs and arms up like a dying cockroach.... used it when we kicked the other team's ass. the losing team got pissed off and we were penalized, for some reason. good stuff. Saints ought to incorporate it.... hah!

Couldn't watch the game.

Saw some highlights. Saw more lowlights.

I was flying back from vacation so I only caught the final score.

So, am I to assume that Loomis, Allen and Co. have received a Vote of Confidence from Ma Benson?

Re: Observations from the Saints' Surprise Win vs Panthers

Guess all things considering the Saints are in a better spot than Carolina. They have paid through the nose to draft Bryce Young, and to me he looks like a strong candidate to earn a bust label. At least the Saints didn't give up draft picks for our bust QB.

Being serious, is there really anything new? The Saints struggled again, won an ugly game against the worst team in the NFL. I guess the positive is no TDs given up, and did decent in the red zone despite not being able to move the ball all afternoon. If the Saints are to make a serious playoff run, Jimmy Graham needs to be relied on heavily.

Listening to a bit of Underhill this morning, it sounds as if the dysfunction continues.

Heard we ran the ball well to start and then puked in the Red Zone (missed FG) but recovered to run it 5 straight times in the RZ later (TD)

Bryce isn't very good
Bryce's WR's can't catch
We did what we were supposed to do against a 1-11 team.
Still giving up too many rushing yards
Ugly win
Grade C+

What?! Not sure what game you were watching. Bryce Young couldn't come close to his receivers. He finished the game with a 48.0 passer rating. Carr had a very respectable 88.5 rating. They each had one turnover. Young was sacked four times. Carr once. Young was 13 for 36 (36.1%) passing. Carr was 18 for 26 (69.2%). Carr had two passing TD's. Young had zero. Not only was Young outplayed by Carr, but he was outplayed by a huge margin. Not even close. Several of the few Panthers' fans in attendance were booing Young in the 4th quarter.
