Tied

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Gotta say, I feel pretty fortunate to be tied in the division for first. We haven't played well at all on defense, but here we are. Tampa has the Bears next and the Clowns have the Bengals. Either or both ...

Tied

Gotta say, I feel pretty fortunate to be tied in the division for first. We haven't played well at all on defense, but here we are. Tampa has the Bears next and the Clowns have the Bengals. Either or both could lose. We need to handle our business against NY this Sunday.

Re: Tied

Good to see Fitz coming back down to earth. He got extremely luck chunking bombs. I hope they stick with him because no way that is going to continue. He's a bad QB. I find it interesting though how everyone forgets that fact. Like his whole history just went away after 2 hail mary games. Like it never happened. It did happen and he sucks. He has always sucked.

If you call throwing for over 400 yards for the 4th straight game ... a new NFL record, coming back down to earth. He has been streaky his whole career. Yes, he has sucked at times. Other times he has monster games. He had a stretch of five games back in 2015 with the Jets where he averaged right at 300 yards per game with 13 TD's and only one pick. He's also always been on crappy rosters. Tampa Bay has more offensive talent than any team he has ever led. The Bucs almost pulled off the comeback.

Fitzmagic is like the NFL's version of Linn-sanity ... I don't expect it to last more than half a season.

He threw 400 yds but he also threw 3 picks. The game was actually out of hand early. Steelers D and the Saints D are the worst. He could have not hoped for a better situation. Winston will be back in a few weeks.

Pittsburgh have 6 takeaways thus far. Saints 1. Steelers know how to apply pressure & create turnovers. Saints do not.

Key word last night was pressure on the QB & takeaways.

Oh yeah, I'm glad the Bucs lost.

That's on Dennis Allen to correct. No one can tell me that David O, Rankins, Demario D, Klein etc are bad players.

Simplify the scheme.

You beat me to it, K. Pittsburg showed what needed to be done to beat the yucks. Gotta pressure the QB, make him uncomfy.
