I disagree with #5. Hill's fumble COULD have been a killer; it wasn't

We learned that we are a bad arse team!

Snead is coming around.

That we can play without Lattimore using Crawley and Moore.

That Kamara will win ROY!

OK Kmara time. All day every Saints evaluation started and ended with Kmara talk. The Panthers pre-game spoke strictly of gameplanning to stop Kmara. They have the best defensive player and LB in the NFL in Luke Kuechly. Their LB core just like their D is elite and they have a highly respected defensive minded coach. They were ranked #3 in the NFL vs the run. 1st Saints series=Kmara unstoppable again. Saints 7-0. How good is Kmara? Does he remind you of another back ever? In results yes. Reggie Bush, Marshall Faulk, Eric Metcalf. But all those guys were blazing fast with wiggle and elusiveness. Kmara runs straight ahead, standing tall, looking skinny and relaxed always. Running style kind of like Dickerson, no body lean, never looking fast but blowing by people. Never getting arm tackled or hit cleanly Kmara breaks tackles and always falls forward. The Saints just had the best draft in franchise history. 5 starters 1 rookie of the year. Best rookie defender-Lattimore. Best offensive and overall rookie-Kmara. Ramczyk-starter. Hendrickson-starter. Marcus Williams. Starter.

How about keeping the streak alive! Crawley 9-0 while activated

We learned that a frustrated Cam makes him silent like a child sleeping on a cloud of pillows with a Get Smart Dome.

Re: What we learned from the Saints' 31-21 win over the Panthers
 

- Kamara is a true difference maker.
- PJ stepped up after getting in the doghouse and benched.
- Peat just lines up and competes.
- Crawley is 9-0.
- Finally a Snead sighting. Lost his "parachute." :)
- Jordan, Robertson and Klein play with fire and passion.
- 2nd and 1. Just run the dang ball.
- Thanks Vikings. Hope to see you again.

Still hard to put all the blame on Hill for that fumble. The defender threw a perfect punch right on the ball. That's a 1 in 10 shot that landed perfect to knock the ball out. It wasn't just a hand in there for a strip, it was a straight punch.

Re: What we learned from the Saints' 31-21 win over the Panthers
 

I don't know..he fumbled it so his fault, really does not matter how it popped out. One thing though, he was fighting for YAC when it really was not needed at that point. We had a strong lead. Just get the 1st down and keep things moving and protect the ball.

There is nothing wrong with going down with a strong lead and already being thin at the position.

Re: What we learned from the Saints' 31-21 win over the Panthers
 

We learned that AJ Klein is destined to never catch a pass that hits him square in the hands.

Re: What we learned from the Saints' 31-21 win over the Panthers
 

Not Hill's first rodeo with a fumble. Hopefully it's his last.

Re: What we learned from the Saints' 31-21 win over the Panthers
 

Not the first time Hill has fumbled either. You fumble ... have a seat. Games are too important for costly turnovers and the competition gets harder every week.

6) Unger hustles

Check out Brandon Coleman who sprang not one but two blocks separated by 60 yards on that 70+ yard Ingram bust out run

he makes the key secondary block then runs hard to make a second once getting Mark another 10 yards

even Troy Aikman noticed

Smart football - you have the first and you are tied, up go down

Re: What we learned from the Saints' 31-21 win over the Panthers
 

He's been one hell of a blocker all training camp/subsequent games. Just about every big run made by MI or Kamara this season, Brandon has been involved in a seal block to give those backs a running lane.

Re: What we learned from the Saints' 31-21 win over the Panthers
 

Coleman used to look lazy on and off the field. Now he looks pumped up to play ball and knock people down. And he started catching contested balls.......I wonder if Curtis Johnson had anything to do with his emergence as a strong well rounded player? He looked amped on the side line after every play. I'm beginning to consider eating crow regarding him hitting his ceiling.

Re: What we learned from the Saints' 31-21 win over the Panthers
 

Johnson definitely helped him.

Re: What we learned from the Saints' 31-21 win over the Panthers
 

Coleman was a real bright spot in the game for me. He really is a ferocious blocker but most imlortantly he is one of the few Saints who can catch a short pass, break a tackle and get yards. We need a WR to step up. Or Kmara's gotta run some actual WR routes like fades, corner and post routes. Reggie sure did.

Re: What we learned from the Saints' 31-21 win over the Panthers
 

That can be huge down the stretch when teams will gameplan more and more for Kamara. Snead 'll kill them underneath.

That's Gold right there, still laughing.
Especially when you think about the question asked in this thread.
