Observations from Saints' win over Seahawks

1. Teddy does not make receivers better like Drew does, he is an average NFL QB. This is not a knock on Teddy average in the NFL for a QB is huge but he isn't going to make others around him better.

2. Kamara/Thomas/Morestead will carry this team. What you think about kickers needs to be put aside and you need to recognize that Morestead does more to give opponents bad field position that any other player or group on our team including our defense, and that's crucial.

3. To anyone that ever thought Drew was replaceable without a huge drop off. Sorry, its a cliff.

4. Our O-Line is good but can be very sloppy.

5. Our offense lacks a leader without Drew on the field. Helmets should have been slapped yesterday and none were.

6. Our defensive secondary lives and dies on luck, not skill.

7. In spite of all of the above we won, and that is what winners do. If you need stars to align to win you are average at best

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

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...

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.
