I'm with you on both. Anzalone (he got tossed by Adrian) & Kurt is still taking bad angles. Overall both have played poorly. We must have better production from these two players going forwad. We'll need their best effort against the stronger teams (Rams & Vikes).

It looks like he was still trying to pull it in when Moreau got his hand in there to pull Meredith's arm away. Good timing by Moreau. It probably could have been called an incomplete pass just as easily.

This is one that even with my Saints glasses on I did not have a problem with them calling it a fumble. If the score was a little closer though I would've been cussing at the T.V and calling the refs cheaters.

Or maybe Merideth just isn’t all that good.

I thought Coleman was supposed to be an upgrade over Vaccaro. How has he been this year? I still have hopes for him. Williams isn’t exactly lighting it up this year either.

I thought he would be but so far he's been below average. Bad angles, missed tackles (on crucial 3rd downs). Hadn't looked at his PFF grades as of late but I'm sure they aren't good. On the flip side, Vonn Bell has been playing a lot better. How much can we attribute this to Kurt & his "veteran presence "?

Hindsight is 20/20 however it's starting to look like the Saints may have over paid for Kurt. Long season ahead but I think at some point he'll help us win more defensive battles.

To be honest it kind of sucks to have the bye week now. It would be nice to keep the momentum going. Any chance we could schedule Alabama or Notre Dame?

Footnote - Brees has 0 INT's thus far.

Zilch.

Yup. Brees is the only starting QB in the NFL without an interception.

I think Monday night was a big confidence booster for the D at the very least.
