Observations from Saints and Eagles game in the Superdome

Defenses generally start to catch up with offenses in weeks 3-4ish, they have tape to plan with so a slight fall off should be expected.

We have the same problem that we have had the last few years, a double D problem. A Decision and Discipline problem.

- The unnecessary roughness on Pennington outside the lines is a tough pill to swallow.

- Miss-use of timeouts.

- Play calling.. Burn a little clock don’t leave them 3 minutes on the board to score the final points. Going for it on 4th would have been smart last week, not this week.

-QB decisions (that interception should have not been thrown)

THIS ^^^ is a clear and more rational description of what I have been saying for two years, which usually gets me personally attacked and called a “Hater” by some on this forum. Thank you for framing it so eloquently.
