Observations from Saints' win over Seahawks

Just need to get Rankins back and the front 4 pass rush might be the best in the league.... just need a LB that can cover to replace Klein in passing situations.

Going into Week 3, we lead the league in sacks, so one could argue we had the best pass rush in the league before Rankins...

We are trending upward .

Exactly my point - we're finally getting terrific pass rush; we've got some honest, flawed, secondary coverage; we've got a terrific kicker; we've got a dependable All-Pro Right Tackle and Running Back; don't waste it...

This was on the Clowns sight... (enjoy the laugh!

)

"We are in Indianapolis today and certainly should win if we play in our Philly form not our Minny form.

The Saints are in Seattle and would be lucky to win there even with Brees. And, now without Brees would require a Seahawk collapse.

The Panthers are in Arizona. With no Cam around, this is a battle of bad teams. Even with a win, it would require a loss by all 3 other South teams for Carolina to be tied for 1st.

Oddly, the Bucs have the most winnable game with the Giants visiting them. Barkley could run over them hopefully or the Bucs could just let Winston give it away.

So, if we win and everybody else loses -

W L GB
Falcons 2 1 -
Saints 1 2 1
Bucs 1 2 1
Panthers 0 3 2"

I think TB played well and I can only laugh at the sentiment "below average QB" after that performance.

There were also success that isn't shown in the stats because of penalties. TB threw two 3-down conversion in the 1st quarter, one to Thomas and one to Carr, and he had that 15 yard run for a first down, which was taken away because of Kamara's chopblock.

He did a lot of things right and didn't turn the ball over playing in difficult circumstances.

Precisely.

It's gonna take some time with the O line. When Teddy is in rhythm, he'll do a lot more damage.

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

Our defense lost that game, not Luke. I don’t think Brees would have had a better day.
