What we learned from the Saints' close win vs. Chicago

K Major · 10-29-2017, 03:38 PM

Brees was solid today, not spectacular but solid.

Lots to clean up though ...

Confusion at pre snap on D.
Missed assignments
Turnovers (2 by Ingram) nearly cost us the game. He gotta to know against a Bears defense, they thrive on strips. Know when to go down. Credit the Bears defense though. They are solid.
Penalties

A experienced QB would have made us pay today. I'll take the win every day but we need to clean this up. We won't be so lucky against better offensive teams.

Good teams find ways to win even if it's ugly. We are good but can become a lot better. Keep grinding.

Drew had an exceptional completion percentage. He got a lot of pressure and made quick, heady plays. I agree we have a lot to clean up but I personally do not see Drew as anything but stellar.
