The REAL Black & Gold Steps Forward - Saints pound Steelers

Having good field position was a massive reason the team looked better. You cant keep having to drive 80 yards, thats also I reasin I want a new ST co-ordinator.

Roethlisberger was off target long before his injured hand. The defense played well till the last two drives

This defense got two interceptions -- that makes today an exceptional game for the D.

I didn't like the giving up points late either -- but wtf -- we won -- on the road.

We need to clean up the penalties, immediately.

Ingram continues to perform. Giving thanks for him.

Junyah needs to figure out how to get the refs to call all the holding on him.

Lofton is awesome.

I really like the way the D was mixing up their pass rush. A lot more bull rush then finesse which I think confused the steelers o-line. Also the tackling was much improved. Still a lot of improvement to go but at least they stepped in the right direction for one game.

Hopefully it will be huge for their confidence. Also, as a Saints fan relocated to the middle of North Carolina, I would much appreciate a Saints win this weekend.

Like that nothing was forced to Jimmy and receivers stepped up. Really showed you can't double Jimmy all game without paying a price.

I like the fact that once again the saints refused to be pushed around and intimidated by yet another smash mouth team.

though getting stupid penalties late in the game on third down does not cut it

great attitude adjustments iMO. now we need to knock the snot out of players coming over the middle. I love had hits that result in alligator arms

Roll tide is probably one of few players we can count on each week.

Lofton - I need to replay the game because all I remember is watching Bell gash us in the flat for 8+ yards or our LB core always a half step behind. This area gets D - for me. Gotta draft a guy who can arrive quickly and with bad intentions.

For weeks I was watching that Collins guy from New England. Oh boy, I wish we have that kind of a player.

Almost forgot. Edebali is very interesting player. I like him.

+1 yep. Outside LB that gets there in a hurry....YOUNG too.

I agree, Edabaldi is improving. Love the hustle.

We had some fire in our bellies for a change. We played like we wanted to win.

Brees' eyes lit up when asked about Nick Toon scoring his first professional TD

Brees couldn't have been happier for him and in all fairness it was a pretty sweet TD
