We still have some issues, but we're on the right track.

The is exactly what I was thinking right before I lost the stream online and the website URL started pointing to something that looked "governmental" stating the doman firstrowsports had been seized by the ICE (Homeland Security). LOL

Agreed, it's a little concerning that this team wasn't as dominant at home though. If they played this game against a more effective red zone team, do we still win?

Just nice to get the first win of the season

As the Vikings started getting the FG's and continued to nibble away at our lead, I have to admit I was thinking
"Oh no! Not again, another lose by a couple of points looks like it might be looming up".

Thankfully that didn't happen this time! Not the best game and still a lot of room for improvement but its good to get a tick in the win column.

GEAUX SAINTS!!!

Robinson closed the game with some beautiful runs.

Just wish we had been as aggressive during the middle of the game. Graham catches nothing but short passes and dump-offs these days. Remember when he was catching 30 yarders downfield?

I think we have a good run game, just don't want to overdo it.

Kind of hard when teams make a concerted effort to stop Grahams big catches. And the one chance he had today he dropped the ball

But even that was on the sideline. We are not making plays to the deep middle of the field. That's more what I was getting at.

For whatever reason it looks like Payton is trying to get away from those long strike middle of the field passes. Could be because we lack someone to stretch the field, Bree age, Brees injury or who knows. Looks like he is trying a different approach by using short passes and a strong running game as opposed to the blow out big plays. Sometimes you want the big plays, but sometimes you want to be slow and methodical and I think we have the personal to do that. Stout running game, short passes to big guys along with some big plays from Cooks. I like the Pete Carol approach of not throwing too much unless you have to.
Once you have a comfortable enough lead there is no reason to keep throwing the ball leaving lots of time on the clock.

On a separate note, I don't think pRob played any snaps today. At least I didn't see him on the field. Only noticed lewis, white and dixon playing CB today.

White, Dixon, and Lewis played relatively well considering...
