Everybody eats for the Saints in this silly, spectacular season

SmashMouth · 11-23-2018, 08:48 AM

Come on, man.

This Saints season is just getting silly now.

The blowouts, the firsts, the records, the streaks. They’re mounting weekly in head-spinning fashion.

Just when you think the Saints’ 2018 season can’t get any more spectacular, the defense authors a performance like Thursday night’s 31-17 demolition of the Atlanta Falcons, and you begin to wonder if anyone or anything can slow down this juggernaut. You begin to believe that anything is possible for this team in this season.

The NFL is the Saints’ oyster right now.

First, Drew Brees embarks on the best season by a quarterback in NFL history.

Then, the offense starts scoring at a historically prolific rate.

And now the defense is starting to dominate, as well.

The final numbers speak for themselves: four takeaways; five forced fumbles; six sacks; seven passes defenses; nine tackles for losses; and 26 rushing yards allowed.

All season-best marks. All against Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and the league’s seventh-rated offense.

If you’re wondering when the last time a Sean Payton-coached team had as many sacks and takeaways in the same game, well, the answer is never.

No Saints team has done it since 2002, when Jim Haslett’s Heavy Lunch Bunch sacked Washington’s Patrick Ramsey seven times and intercepted him four others.

The Saints aren’t just winning. They are demoralizing opponents.

“We’re becoming a complete team,” safety Kurt Coleman said. “You can’t point to one area of this team and say that’s the weak area.”

Meanwhile, the loss was the Falcons’ third in a row and officially eliminated them from contention in the NFC South division race.

Black Friday has a different meaning in Atlanta today.

Everybody eats, but next week Zeke goes hungry and gets his imaginary spoon taken away.

Not a Zeke fan. He's talented. But he's a showboat. I can't understand why he takes a drink of water and blows it all over the field before games. My god, they actually put it in slow motion at some point in the game, like it was cool.

I hope the Saints crush him.

Not a Zeke fan. Don't like men who assault women.

It's starting to make fantasy difficult because I won't draft people who have/were accused of assaulting women.

8 in the box, Taysom Hill over the top single high with Lattimore and Apple on the corners, sreaming GRUDEN GRUDEN GRUDEN! That should rattle Cooper!!!!

This will make the second week in a row the Saints have had to deal with some of Roll Tides More Accomplished Receivers!! Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley & Amari Cooper.

Even more eerie similarities about 09: Both games will be played in a dome, well sort of but you know what I mean, The field will have numbers on it and there will be spectators, I know, stop it, I'm scaring you!!!

I stand in AWWWW of the WW...er I mean NFL when it comes to spectacles!!!!

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE WE'RE NOT FACING CHASE DANIEL.........................YET!!!!!!!!!
