Before the season started, looking at the schedule I would not have been surprised to have seen this game as a loss even with Drew as the starter. Seattle is not an easy team, Wilson is an elite QB, and they have a very good defense and yet we handled them, and it only ended somewhat close due to garbage time. To listen to a lot of these posts you'd think we lost. How many points do you need to win by to be happy? Do we have to complete every pass? Defend every pass? Was Seattle supposed to have zero yards, zero points, and we score on every play? I'm disgusted. After the Kamara screen pass Teddy settled in and looked like a good starting QB and the defense did it's job when needed to. Sorry if this wasn't a 60-0 win with a second string QB to make ya'll happy.

What’s this y’all crap we win as a team and lose as one. If your looking for a win or a loss why do we even have this site ahhh yes its to discuss and share our feelings and observe how we need to get better. Even if it’s harsh criticism you get high praise if u excel. When u come hear and bash us boys or girls ur bashing the saints too. [emoji3577]bro

Re: Observations from Saints' win over Seahawks

Yeah what's with the hate on Teddy? The guy did what he needed to do and did enough to get the W. He played smart and a bit conservative. I'm with a couple other posters who believe that he'll just get better and more confident.

This game was not nearly as close as the scoreboard.

Defense did great. They harrassed Wilson all game long. Most other QBs in the NFL would've been dropped multiple times and probably thrown at least a pick or 2 with that pressure.

Secondary was a little loose at times but played good enough to win.

This team will continue to improve.

Good man

Re: Observations from Saints' win over Seahawks

I was a believer that teddy could pull this off. Now he can get a lot better and has to , WHO WANTS TO BEAT THEM COWBOYS.

Re: Observations from Saints' win over Seahawks

Didn’t hit a wide receiver till just before the half. 177 yds all game. Great play every where else on team. Teddy HAD it in him. Can he- will he be improve against Dallas at home? Surprise me please.

Re: Observations from Saints' win over Seahawks

With Brees down we really miss the experience Unger brought. McCoy is outstanding but lacks the experience to call out adjustments which I feel Unger would have been better suited for in Brees absence. When Brees is under center he takes on all that responsibility. Could be partially to blame for some of the penalties

So what is an acceptable ending score? A 2 score win, after garbage time, in one of the hardest places to win on the road isn't good enough, what will make you happy?

I think you have to understand that our offense without Drew just isnt the same. It's like we have to learn how to do it differently. Teddy hasn't played any meaningful football in 3 years. I was frustrated too, at times, but I think the team has to find itself after losing its leader.

I watched the game, I've rewatched the game - Lots of meat left on the bone; Bridgewater is just not adjusting to the game fast enough.

Two pt conversion, Carr was open in the endzone, Teddy hastily pulls it down and runs tentatively till he's stopped...

Several times there were opportunities for back-shoulder throws and Teddy is just not taking those throws.

From the one foot line at the goal, he held the ball down at this waist instead of quickly extending it over the goal line...

Most of the first half the offense was sluggish getting in, out of the huddle and the team didn't look like they were on the snap count...

In the first half, before the scoring screen pass by Kamara, Bridgewater completed only one pass over 10 yards, a 14 yd completion to M. Thomas...

On the day, Bridgewater was 19 of 27 for 177 PaYds, that total PaYds includes a 29 PaYd PaTD on a screen pass (again short att) to Kamara who made a tremendous run to get the score...

That's less than ten yards a completion, that's not gonna get it. Rookies are playing better than that and they don't have AK or Can'tGuardMike...

Look, I was thrilled with the win, ask my krewe who was with me today - but without the Saints DST scoring 13 pts, we lose 27-20...

No, Bridgewater isn't getting it done, he must play better against conference rival, playoff implications game vs Dallas...

Re: Observations from Saints' win over Seahawks

Yadda yadda yadda!!! If Brees perform exactly like Bridgewater with a W without a interception y'all would not even mention that a wr didn't receive a catch till the second quarter. The concept is play to what the defense give you plus the time of possession was in favor in 1st quarter to the Seahawks because of the punt return.

I am sure once Bridgewater become more comfortable and familiar with the 1st unit the ball will come out faster but to criticize so harshly after a win lead me to believe that some of you probably would've preferred a lost so you can criticize even more by saying Taysom should be the starter. If so, I hope y'all continue to sip on your haterade while Bridgewater thrive
