First four games are looking real 2-2ish

[Beastmode]

What is our best player doing on the field in the first PS game. I don't understand Payton sometimes. Kamara and MT should have not been out there in this one. Then kicking field goals. There is way more value in calling a play. Just go for it who cares.

Not going to get much easier after that. Gonna be really tough this year. Lets hope the defense got their suckyness out of the way.
Davenport needs to step it up. He’s not going to be able to rely on his physical capability at this level. I wanted to see a big game from him.

Patrick Robinson and Dan Arnold deserve to be cut right now.

P-rob got beat by the worst double move and worst throw I've ever seen in my life, yet somehow still allowed the TD.

Dan Arnold - as soon as he made one good play, I knew a debt has to be paid. He always makes one decent play and then breaks our back with a crippling turnover or drop.

Defense looked real bad, just sloppy.
Teddy B and Taysom looked pretty good. Grayson and LJH had some good plays.

-Bridgewater looked very poised and accurate.
-Harris is a legit returner.
-Robertson continues to shine when he gets on the field.
-Humphrey is very good after the catch.
-Ozigbo is absolutely the real deal.
-Lutz is arguably the best in the NFL.
-Grayson has skills.

-I personally would not have played Thomas, Kamara and Armstead.
-I get the Saints were playing vanilla on defense. I get it's preseason. You don't want to showcase your schemes and put them on tape. But, defense is about attacking. I'm concerned that if you practice/play soft even when it doesn't count, it trickles over. The best defenses come at you from the time they step off the bus. It's a mind set. The Saints don't have that. Also, to play a whole game where NOBODY on defense other than Robertson flashes, is just not good.

Robertson making most of the stops looked similar to 2016 when Stupar was making every tackle in PS. We lost 3 out the gate in the RS. Could be nothing but that should not be happening. Vikings backups looked disciplined. Even the plays we did make, they didn't gift them to us.

Offense looked ok

Defense looked bad, no pass rush, WRs running open all game... Long way to go. PRob looks lost at times.

Defensive garbage , preseason I no but dam kubiak laughing at our duds. Davenport has to get nastier sorry.

If we are playing like this after game 1 of the REAL SEASON I will be worried if we are playing like this after game 3 I will be pissed. But for now it’s Pre season with the 2’s

We were so solid last preseason on D. We were stacked with depth and I were expecting even better this season . It’s only preseason but goooollllly them cut backs for tons of yards . Pee wee football is coached for containment for that.

I don’t disagree and felt like to much camp hype and not enough football skills and IQ showing last night. No pressure on the defensive line part ... ever ... all has a cascading effect on the secondary but they stunk it up.

I did like what I saw from Bridgewater and Latavius Murray I think they are bothe the real deal.
