Re: Observations from the Saints first loss in 11 games

Our defense played great. I can't fault the defense at all. They held Dak's crew to 13 pts in their house. You can't ask for much better than that.
The Saints offense had no answer to the pressure the Dallas D was bringing. Brees was rushed and couldn't get a deep pass completed, screens were being defended well, and the ground game wasn't moving the sticks. Dallas defense beat us. period.

2 weeks in a row our offense didn’t play well.
31 points against ATL is good, but even in that game Drew seemed off. It just feels like he isn’t playing with confidence.

Looked to me like...

Saints offense couldn't match the intensity for 60 minutes. They got punched in the m***** f***** mouth. They weren't doing what they were regularly doin and started to get a little distressed. Cowboys had em where they wanted them. Then the Saints O got their A**es choked out.

I think Eli Apple was victimized a few times tonight but I liked a lot of the other things that the Saints D excelled in tonight... 'cept maybe the aforementioned poor tackling on some running plays.

Re: Observations from the Saints first loss in 11 games

Drew was DEFINTELY off. Missed several receivers who had windows but the throws were just not there. There was pressure on the pocket, so I really don't get why SP didn't call a few roll out passes to keep them checked.

Oh well, I always said this team was a 13-3 season. Getting ready for one more stinker before going on our run for Lombardi.

Re: Observations from the Saints first loss in 11 games

For sanity's sake, chalk this one up to 'Any Given Thursday'

Offense was flat, never had a rhythm, and when you play 3 games in 12 days that's bound to happen. The gas tank cant stay full all the time. Run defense showed up and played well, pass defense has been our weakness since week 1, no shocker.

We didnt all of a sudden get bad, we are still the same exact team we were yesterday at 7PM. Dallas showed up ready and we didn't.

Sh1t happens. We have the Bucs to get ready for in 9 days.

Re: Observations from the Saints first loss in 11 games

Marinelli or whoever was calling the defensive plays had the game of their life. They blitzed at the right times when we weren't expecting it. They chose to be physical with us at all levels and had some penalties because of it but overall it worked. They rarely gave Drew a clean pocket and they were excellent in taking away the flats. Sean and the guys will need to get in the film room and figure out some counters to this style of defense.
