Saints Road Woes Continue with 38-17 loss to Cowboys
 

The Saints were 3-5 last season on the road, and unfortunately for the black and gold nothing has changed in 2014 when they leave New Orleans.

The Cowboys 38-17 win puts the Saints road record at 0-3 this season.

Tony Romo finished 22-of-29 passing for 262 yards and three touchdowns.

Drew Brees went 32-of-44 passing for 341 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Romo was flawless on the Cowboys first drive of the game. He went 7-for-7 passing for 66 yards, finishing with a connection to Terrance Williams for a six-yard score. The drive lasted more than seven minutes.

A Brees interception in the second quarter led to the Cowboys second touchdown of the game.

It took only two plays to make Brees pay for his mistake. DeMarco Murray's 15-yard touchdown run put the Cowboys up 17-0.

Right before half, Dallas struck again. A quick drive that lasted a little over two minutes netted the Cowboys a touchdown thanks to Romo connecting with Williams again. Williams 23-yard score capped a nine-play, 77-yard sequence.

The Cowboys led 24-0 at the half. The Saints registered only a 114 yards compared to the Cowboys 290.

The second half was just as fruitful for the Cowboys offense.

Awful, just awful. Somebody tell me again why we cut champ Bailey to keep Dixon?

Re: Saints Road Woes Continue with 38-17 loss to Cowboys
 

I hear you but I would probably start with....
When is Cam & Junior gonna show up? Can Kenny V start making consistent tackles? We have LB's who are lost in space & Byrd is not ball hawking the way we all anticipated.

Although Dixon gave up a TD, the coverage wasn't exactly awful (needs to look for the ball). He will get better with more reps.

Sometimes I wonder why we kept Toon, Morgan and Cadet on the 53 roster.

TOTALLY those 3, well i wonder know why half of them are ...haha

Re: Saints Road Woes Continue with 38-17 loss to Cowboys
 

We are about to witness the fall of Rome my friends. HAHA NO way in hell the way this team is playing we will win at home, not just on the road.

Re: Saints Road Woes Continue with 38-17 loss to Cowboys
 

And Cadet was the guy that injured Armstead.

Re: Saints Road Woes Continue with 38-17 loss to Cowboys
 

The few (very few) times we got pressure Romo folded. Brees seemed like he was under pressure the whole game.
We all knew the worse of the two defenses in this game would lose. And Dallas took it to us in every aspect.

Re: Saints Road Woes Continue with 38-17 loss to Cowboys
 

Armstead injury hurt us bad. Harris was backpedaling in Drew's lap all game long. Guards also had an awful game.

Re: Saints Road Woes Continue with 38-17 loss to Cowboys
 

Didn't see the game as it was 1am over here. How bads Armstead injury, is he likely to miss time or with the bye will he play vs Buccs?

Re: Saints Road Woes Continue with 38-17 loss to Cowboys
 

Concussion. Cadet kicked him in the head.

I think he will be ready to go on sunday

Re: Saints Road Woes Continue with 38-17 loss to Cowboys
 

We never use toon or Morgan, and hardly ever see cadet on the field unless we are reaching because we are getting our butts kicked. Why not trade or cut them for some more good players?

Re: Saints Road Woes Continue with 38-17 loss to Cowboys
 

Armstead suffered a concussion on the first Saints drive.
Of course no one will know the extent of his concussion, but before he can return to practice he'll have to do the NFL physical and pass the concussion protocol. Impossible to know how bad those are until the tests are given.

Re: Saints Road Woes Continue with 38-17 loss to Cowboys
 

Thanks
I really hope he is back. One of my main worries in preseason was the lack of depth on the offensive line. Its one of the reasons I didn't get/wasn't happy with our draft picks.

Re: Saints Road Woes Continue with 38-17 loss to Cowboys
 

Toon....eh...Morgan...I don't understand why we aren't using him. our offense thrived on the ability to stretch the field and we are not doing that this year. Cooks, Stills, Morgan, Mechum.....all sub 4.4 40 guys who are known for getting open deep. I don't know if Brees is still hurt but the velocity and deep ball has not looked good so far this season. Its clear that the offense is going to have to carry the defense again this year but if we can't take the top off a defense then we won't be able to win. They have Graham running lots of short routes not the seam routes like the last couple of seasons.

We have. Truly lost our identity on both sides of the ball this year.

Re: Saints Road Woes Continue with 38-17 loss to Cowboys
 

Morgan was terrible in the opening games in the kittle action he saw. He was bullied out of catches. Toon, who knows whats up with him.

Re: Saints Road Woes Continue with 38-17 loss to Cowboys
 

True....but he stretches the field....what WR on our team hasn't been awful except for Cooks and Stills played well last night. Cooks has made plays this season but not the impact ones yet. Hopefully he does because we needa spark badly.

Re: Saints Road Woes Continue with 38-17 loss to Cowboys
 

I don't think brees can throw an accurate deep ball anymore

Jimmy had two steps on their DB and brees under throw the ball so much that the DB had it picked until Jimmy came back and knocked it out

We used to take shots down field in single coverage and that doesn't happen anymore, you aren't telling me every DB has perfect coverage on cooks when he runs a deep route
