Am I hearing this correctly that Kamara played through broken ribs?

Looks like it .

One thing I come out of the game thinking is that we are better than them we just really know how to screw **** up.

Re: Observations from Saints loss to Atlanta
 

I'm so use to being numb in regards to our Saints. Nothing here was really surprising. As much as we want to ***** and moan about it, the fact of the matter is this is what we've got. Hopefully we can put on a good performance next week. Looking past Kansas City, the schedule doesn't look bad. Going into December I do think we need to make some big boy decisions on the direction we want to go as a franchise(if we're still stagnant) and most importantly, who should be leading it. I also think we should heavily lean on outside counsel should the situation arise.

Re: Observations from Saints loss to Atlanta
 

Yeah I think we gotta give Dennis Allen at least another season after this one, to help Klint Kubiak work out the kinks in this new offense, so that Derek Carr can show Rattler or Haener the ropes we’re consistently up against. We’re still rebuilding. People just need to be patient.

Re: Observations from Saints loss to Atlanta
 

I didn't get to watch the game.

Text messages during my flight had me feeling like you all did.

We could be 4-0. A few key injuries and a few key plays away...

Again, feeling like I want to see how they respond. 2-2 is not the end of our season.

I don't know that we are better than them exactly. Without errors we would have won that game but I dont know that we would win the next matchup. They are getting healthier at QB every game and their QB is getting more familiar with their receivers. We are getting more banged up every game as we have a finesse roster playing a smash mouth offense where the only mouth smasher is 34 year old Taysom Hill.

I think we have better coaching than the Falcons especially as far as our offensive and defensive schemes. The Falcons may be better at late game management but I dont know, they made some late game errors too. Raheem Morris is a bad coach. He is a 3 time loser. I think coaching is the reason we outplayed them except for a few freak plays.

I think we have a similar ability but more flawed roster than the Falcons. 22 men on paper our roster is similar. But look at the depth issues and durability issues and I think we are worse because our whole offense depends on an oline with no depth, receivers with no depth, running game with no depth, and we need to take hits over the middle of the field and at the line of scrimmage to get first downs that we dont have the correct personnel with the youth and physicality to sustain those hits over the season. We have a critical flaw on offensive roster, a durability bottleneck.

2 plays, 14 points. And we almost won.

Sh!t happens. Show up vs a depleted KC and carry momentum into 3 of the next 5 contests being division games.

Re: Observations from Saints loss to Atlanta
 

That’s funny right there ^^^ … “almost”

Re: Observations from Saints loss to Atlanta
 

It was sloppy play from start to finish. Our offense wasn't playing good enough to cover the turnovers.
