Depending how the Cards season unfolds, I'd make a call and see what it would take to get Patrick Petersen before the deadline.

We tried . Before the season I thought. He’s not for sale/trade

Just looking at the snap counts from yesterday and Latavius Murray only played one more snap than our fullback Zach Line.

Sounds like a bunch of 12 yos printing what the leader board looks like after week 3 is funny too

If you're gonna spend that kind of draft capital, Jalen Ramsey is likely getting out of JAX...

Only possible complication is Payton having some communal loyalty to Doug Marrone, but if we'd had Ramsey yesterday, that'd been huge...

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

Till he gets comfortable, how many games is that going to take?

I'd remind you Brees missed a game vs the Panthers, who were an elite defense, and Luke McCown shredded them, didn't need to get comfortable...

But you inadvertently hit it on the head, Bridgewater is just not comfortable, he's playing scared; likely scared he's gonna get hurt again...

So what was Carolina in the dome last year?

None of our supposed key free agents have contributed well so far: you'd have a better chance of finding TE Jared Cook on Borden's Milk Carton...

Murray hasn't shared the load at all with Kamara, and that's exacerbated with how well Ingram is lighting it up with the Ravens...

Nick Easton has already been inactive, and we could've had better in Senio Kelemete had we kicked in an extra guarantee'd $2.5mil total and had him for the playoffs the two previous seasons to relieve Peat...

And we got better substitution play from Luke McCown for far less than the $7mil we overpaid for Checkdown Teddy; it's gonna be a white-knuckle ride till Drew hopefully gets back...

-Big win!
-Kamara is the truth. I would like to see Murray, Washington or even Line take the meaningless hand offs into the stacked line to end a game that's already been decided. Why expose Kamara to the hits?
-Morestead is the truth.
-Game changing punt return for a TD by Harris.
-Davis is Dome Patrol worthy.
-Great effort and run defense.
-Special teams all around with plays by Hardee, Robertson and Gray.
-Teddy looked tight to begin with but plays well when he just cuts it loose.
-The Saints have won two games they easily could have lost. Good sign.

-No impact so far from Cook.
-The Saints should look for a #2 WR of even average quality before the trade deadline. Completely lacking right now.
-Wilson is the real deal. But, you can't pressure/contain him with four guys and you can't just let him sit in the pocket with all day to throw. The blitz packages and covering behind them has to improve moving forward.
-Is there no one else available to run down on punts besides Hill? I get the opposing team has to prepare/be aware of fakes. But, I just believe it's more important he stays upright until Brees gets back.
