Observations from the Saints win over the Panthers

Just one game but the vibe was electric throughout. If Carr keeps this up he’ll win over some bitter fans quickly.
Even the Special Teams was on fire today.
Terrific game.

See AK, see Taysom, see Shaheed.

That defense looks like it could be top-tier. I was confused as hell though with some of those jersey numbers (Gay, Harris & Kool-Aid).

The Panthers are probably looking at getting another top pick in the draft though. They are that bad. The Dallas game on the road is a much better gauge of where we are as a team.

Dislikes - I just don't like Shaheed covering punts & kick-offs. Can we get someone else to take care of special team duties?

They’ll be drafting a QB.

QB is the least of the Panthers problems and they'll probably end up ruining Bryce at this rate because they can't do anything for him. They'll ruin anyone they bring in.

Great win. Been a minute since I’ve seen a dominant performance from this team. I always love seeing them play with execution, passion, and aggression. Reminds me of the Sean days. I really want to see what they do against a good team, but regardless, hell of a start.
Would also like to see more pressure/sacks from the D line. Thank god we have a good secondary.

It's been while hasn't it since the Saints have sniffed a fifty burger game. This is the NFL. Even sucky teams don't get scored on them like that.

Kubiak has made a difference with our offense. We'll see how the season progresses as teams analyze game film on us. Yes, the Panties aren't the team we're facing next, the CowGirls. Bryce Young is sniffing bust territory.

Our defense is legit. And that's with Lattimore not even playing. That's probably the best backfield we've ever had. Kudos to Alontae. Chase Young's addition is already proving valuable. Even Peyton Turner helped out.

Special teams look improve too. Grupe especially.

Enjoy the win. We get to play the most overpaid QB next. And he chokes more than most.

The Good:
Wow. Where do I begin?
- Special Teams are all over coverage!
- Hard to believe that this is the same Gruppe we had doubts about!
- Alontae Taylor. 3 sacks? Where the hell did that come from? (I ain't complaining! But DAYUM!!!)
- Carr found his rhythm and hit receivers in stride.
- O line was solid as a unit. Some ticky tack fouls, but overall they looked good.
- TE play was probably the best I've seen it in a long while.
- Kube's use of Hill and Kamara was off the charts good (Finally!)

The Bad:
Nit picking here.
- TE coverage over the middle was spotty
- Contain on the QB on plays extened will be a problem with a QB who can run.
- Manufactured sacks are OK, but we need to see sacks from our Front Four.

The Ugly:
- Injuries. Ugh. Lattimore with his hammy. Moreau with a concussion (where that bonnet boys!)

Overall: Both sides of the ball get an A+. Especially since we historically have a habit of letting our foot off the gas when we go out in front! Way to bring it early and often with an early 1st Round Knockout!

Here is an observation for you…. after seeing what happened in the games yesterday I am VERY glad we didn’t end up with Deshaun Watson like Cleveland did!

Can you imagine where this franchise would be stuck with that contract? And to think we were in 'competition' for that trash?
