Observations from the Saints first loss in 11 games

SmashMouth · 11-29-2018, 10:26 PM

We had an off day. Yeah the refs were bad, but they were bad for both sides.

History repeats itself, it appears, with the CowGirls.

The positive... 17-2 , WhoDats!

Late turnover sinks the Saints in a 13-10 loss, as Cowboys snap 10-game win streak

Where do we even start discussing this one??

I’m only going to talk about the positive and give big praise to our defensive front seven. The LB corp of Davis-Anzalone-Klein has really turned into something phenomenal.

GG to the Cowboys. Was surprised at how good they covered. Saints are going to need to adjust their offense when we aren't playing defenses like the Eagles, Redskins and Falcons that leave wide open spaces. The good news is that now we know where we are vulnerable on offense and have 10 days to correct it.

My cat is acting guilty and I'm thinking he did something to jinx our Saints but no idea what that would be.

Save your all’s breath. Go to Saintsreport and read the 09 after game. Might as well since everything, and I mean everything about this game was identical to 09.

We have to address the TE position...and they were so worried about the edge rushers that the interior is really what failed us.

Agreed about TE. Where was Ben Watson and Josh Hill?

Egg laid. Learn from it and move on.

Good pressure on Dak. A team that gets 7 sacks should win the game.

Bottled up Zeke for most of the day. 3.3yd/rush is pedestrian for him.

Shoddy tackling when Dak ran. He should have been stopped for a short gain every rush.

Coverage wasn't where it should have considering we had good pressure today.

O-line had their worst game in a very long time. A lot of pressure given up.

Brees just looked off the whole game.

Seems like we had a lot of drops today from guys who usually catches the ball well.

#54 in Dallas had multiple plays where he led with the crown. He should have been ejected from the game.

Play calling on O felt predictable. And the gamble to go for it on 4th in the first came back to haunt us.

That type of loss should give them the needed spark to finish the damn thing.

Makes me sick to hear Aikman gush in the booth over X-team as if he's getting a massage under the table by BJ.. I mean JB.
I had no choice but to listen to that BS and it definately didn't help matters none!You can frikkin hear the elation in his voice and I personally don't think it's right for him to be allowed to call their games.
I'm no longer home to tune in 870 to listen to Zach and Duece..Phone app goes to **** once the game starts and isn't broadcasted.

-Offensive line got handled
-Didn't seem Drew was making as many pre-snap reads and adjusting as usual..
-Recievers obviously didn't show up for their hand yoga classes this week.

I knew there was a chance for a lost but not like that.

94 was almost a HERO.

Hoping we go on a all out demolition mission of who ever stands in the way all the way to the destination...

That one stung with all the chances we had to capitalize but couldn't for all the reasons that reared their ugly f**€kin head.

WHO-DAT!!!

	W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.
