D looked good!

Really?

I thought our D was TERRIBLE in the first half and for that first series in the 2nd half ... We couldn't stop the run to save our lives, but then we pulled it together.

I think GWill got less aggressive and everyone calmed down ... That helped. Plus, in the first half our LB's couldn't find the flats if you would have put a naked Saintsation in them ...

We held them to under 100 yards on the ground, after last year I'll take it.

I thought considering it was AP and he had no fumbles tonight we did well.

Fujita is gone and Sharper is out, just a few adjustments in players needed. AP was a monster to stop tonight must have been knocking back Red Bulls before the game. Favre looked like he missed a lot of workouts and looked drained in the second half. Drew played cautious and the Coach kicked up the running game. Important to get the win because this game could have slipped away.

We still killed them in yards ... 288 to 253 .... lmao

Stop the run!

They seemed to get their momentum back in the second half, but I think we gave up too many yards in the first half.

Secondary was solid.

LB's were 50/50 - as was the d line.

I thought the O line was solid. Bress was crisp. RB's played well.

WR's were 50/50.

Biggest area of concern for me is our ability to control the clock

First game. I'll take the win vs a huge opponent on a huge stage.

Media will make a big deal of this... but our run game will improve.

So we broke A.P little record of no 100 yd opener?..pretty good there Hililard..the O left them out to dry..that was coaching and dropped passes...D was good

We held AP from hitting any long runs but his average was still way to high. He's backup did get stuffed all the time thou. Jenkins laid the big hit and made som nice tackles, i think he'll turn out allright.
