Re: Observations from the Saints first loss in 11 games
I think the only for sure loss up ahead is pittsburgh. Their d line is almost designed like the dallas line and they have more weapons on offense than dallas. I think we sweep carolina still there d line and o line isnt what it used to be. I see 13-3 with the second seed.

Re: Observations from the Saints first loss in 11 games
That drive for the Field goal to start the second half, felt like the hardest fought warrior quest for 3 points that Drew has taken the team on, in a long long time. Drew's quarterback sneak on 3rd and 1 was pretty tough, I thought he was gonna get mauled. Man it was hard going. Maybe it was just me in the moment, after being shut out for the whole first half, but I felt like that drive was the old familiar "warrior" Drew, but that there maybe hasn't been a drive that tough and gnarly for the team this entire year.

Concerned about Kamara. How he is not in concussion protocol I do not know because that was a lethal helmet hit and he was shaken up, wobbled some.
If someone is not fined for that hit the NFL is selectively enforcing the rules. |

Not sure how a ref standing 10-15 feet away didn't call that on Arnold or Kamara. I thought the rules (crowning to the helmet) were put in place for this very reason. Deion Jones took out Kamara on that exact type play last season. Yep, I hope Alvin is ok. He was definitely dazed. |

I agree! That was a hard fought 3 point drive, and it felt like a momentum shift, but Dallas stayed tough and kept the door shut. I thought we'd come back & win the game (or at least tie it up for overtime) in the 4th qtr with about 6 minutes left, Dallas was 3rd & 10 near midfield, and Dak broke 3 tackles ran for the 1st down. That was a back breaker. If we had stopped them on that series we would've gotten the ball back with all our time-outs and with plenty of time to drive the field for a score. That didn't happen. After that the clock became an issue and Drew was rattled, and it went from bad to worse. |

We were out of challenges but we used them correctly. MT, that was a catch and the other one, we won. Really crazy because anyone could see that was a fumble and recovery by MT but they made us waste a challenge on it. |

And the gifted first-down late in the game sure didn't help the Saints any!

Anybody have any explanation for this:
Somebody affiliated with the Cowboys on our sideline with a headset on and phone in his hand. |
