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...
And in saying all of that, the Saints still found a way to win on the road in a tough environment.

We are trending upward .

Ok, well see what it would take for Ramsey. Last report is that he could potentially be out with the "flu" all week.

Like Oak pointed out earlier, we have been lucky on those boundaries more than good. I don't trust Apple Eli and PJ is just getting burned all over the field.

We just need to manage to be at .500 until Drew gets back. I was pessimistic but with the win and some luck, I think we can do it.

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...
Pressure. Hostile environment. Rain. I understand him being tight. And I thought he played better as the game went on. This week against the Cowboys will show if he has enough to get the job done. No turnovers is the big key for him.

And we got better substitution play from Luke McCown
(0 - 1 as a starter by the way)

"Could've, would've, should've" is the difference in what I'm talking about! The good teams don't come in and say "Could've." They get it done! All right?.......... Jim Mora

Kick em when they up!! Kick em when they down!!

What's stopping them?, Look I'm not saying they're "world beateers" or the most "eminent" team in the league or their division, but they are a competitive team. If we didn't play a full game yesterday we lose that game. Think about it we HAD to play a full game to win. That has to speak to something right? They're not the Legion of Boom but they aren't push overs either. IMHO

Can't wait to see how Marcus does against Tyrin Smith in the dome.
Davenport has played well all 3 weeks. Before yesterday's game, fans didn't notice him because he was doing the dirty work. He was occupying double teams so others could make the play. Some fans only notice sacks and TFL.
Taking on double teams helps the rest of the guys look better.
