My Observations (through black-n-gold lenses):
1. Our defense has weaknesses, and those weaknesses were exploited today, but they still managed to disrupt & make stops at pivotal moments to keep us in the game.
2. Our offense came together today and fought a hard epic battle with a rival opponent in their house and won.
3. Atlanta is stacked with big fast talented receivers that will be a menace to any defense in this league if Matty Ice is allowed time to throw.
4. Yellow flags damn near cost us the game.
5. My New Orleans Saints 2018 team has a heart to win
6. Drew Brees has not lost a step. And today, you might even say he stepped it up.
7. I thought I caught a glimpse today of that "eye of the tiger" "no guts, no glory" Sean Payton I once knew pre-bountygate.

I'll tell you another observation, our DB's actually look lost. That's a coaching problem. But they seriously look lost out there. No one seems to know who should be covering who.

True. On more than a few plays I saw them looking at each other clearly confused as to who should be covering who. Couple that with an inconsistent pass rush - one that completely vanishes all too often - and we have a big problem on defense.

And some of it is correctable, you know the being confused. I expect Dave port to help the rush as the year goes on, but the pack of push from our DT's is nothing to get excited about.

Mondays bring hang overs.........

I learned this today...
From
@ESPNStatsInfo
: Only 2 quarterbacks have lost despite throwing for 350+ yards, 5 TD and 0 Int in the last 30 years: Eli Manning and Matt Ryan.

Both lost to Drew Brees.

In 3 games played, I haven’t seen one DB track the ball on these long throws. On the PI call, we had 2 guys covering 1 guy, and neither had any idea where the ball was.

I am telling y'all, DA went and changed all kinds of crap and now we are looking lost as hell and constant communication issues. So whats the answer DA, keep doing the same damn thing or I don't know, maybe simplify it or go back to what worked last year.

Unfortunately "we" can ***** and moan all we want, Mike, but it's all up to all the personnel over there on 5800 Airline Drive in Metairie.

As for me, I'm going to throw every positive vibe I have in my body (not promising anything) and hoping for the best. That's really all any of us can do.

Here we go,

18-1 Baby!
