Other Stat Stories

The Eagles dominated time of possession 34:02-25:58, and also won the first down battle with ease 34-19.

The offense finished 8-for-16 (50 percent) in third down efficiency.
Final penalty count for the black and gold: 7 penalties, 78 yards.

Keenan Lewis only appeared in 27 snaps against the Eagles.

The Saints were charged with 12 missed tackles on defense, and 5 were credited to Brandon Browner.

Both Willie Snead (6-141) and Brandin Cooks (5-107-TD) had strong wide receiver performances on the day
.
Facing a short week, the Saints have many question marks. Perhaps the most pressing surrounds Marques Colston, who was seen after the game with a sling on his arm, which could mean that he’ll be out against the Atlanta Falcons. I fully expect someone like Joe Morgan to receive a call in the not so distant future to jump in for Thursday night’s game.

Easy, Offense-F, Defense-F, Special teams-F.

I appreciate you posting the numbers Danno, just so we can see just how terrible certain players are. God, I knew Browner was a very limited DB but mother******..how can you be this bad and still have a JOB???? The dude is absolute garbage. He is redlining what it means to be a penalty machine. Has anyone ever seen a single player week in and week out play that bad and still start?

This week
Zach Strief, RT (+1.7)
Senio Kelemete, RG (-3.7)

Last Week
Zach Strief, RT (+1.0)
Senio Kelemete, RG (-4.6)

You know, looks like Strief is getting blamed for a lot of plays his buddy at RG is actually responsible for.

2nd week in a row that Strief graded "ok" and Kelemete graded out almost Jason David bad.

As CMike eluded to earlier ... ^^^ this is a problem. I just can't accept the fact that BB has been a solid contributor in Seattle & NE, yet the minute he puts on Black and Gold there could be so much suckdom in 5 games.

This is a reflection of Sean Payton, The Big Lebowski, Dennis Allen etc. Put this guy in better position to make plays. I refuse to believe Brandon is this bad every single sunday afternoon.

Senio Kelemete, RG (-3.7)
Senio Kelemete, RG (-4.6)

all we here is they are high on him. that must be a mistake. they maybe high with him.

never understood the love. draft a replacement that actual can push for a starters job when Evens ready to stop playing.


Kasim Edebali, DE (-2.8, 25 snaps) we trade what for him? ok he just got back i will give him time

Laughable, but not funny, how far we've fallen in such a short time.

Sean Payton's wife must've been distant relation of Marie Laveau.

I have been saying this for a while. Strief is the new Harper. The favourit for everyone to bash while not knowing better.

Edebali was a UDFA last year.

I pointed that out numerous times in chat and game forum.
