Observations from the Saints first game loss to Tampa Bay

While I will say the defense was absolutely awful today, I will also say that I've never seen Fitzpatrick play the QB position as well as he did today. It looked like it could hit a dime if it was thrown in the air with the football. Every pass he threw was perfect. We needed to get pressure on him, the pressure was nonexistent.

Don't give him too much credit. The pass rush was coming on wheel chairs and the WRs were all alone. It was pitch and catch.

Actually you have to give him credit he put the ball up where only the WR's could get to it.

They took advantage of their WR's height over our shorter DB's.

My point I guess is that he was not harassed. At all. That makes a very big difference. Nobody got in (or even close to) his face all day.

"He put it where only the WR could get to it" there was no one else around he had worry about getting it but Maybe another Bucs WR
