Observations from Saints' win over Seahawks

"Check down" Teddy doesn't screw it up for the Saints.

Game ball to the Defense, Special Teams, and Kamara.

12th man was never a factor today.

Win shows the Saints are more well rounded than many realized.

Who Dat !

Well, like I said in the game thread...

1. We gave up 500 yards of offense.
2. Wilson dropped back 50 times and we didn’t sack him once.
3. We have nothing behind Kamara at RB.
4. Through three games, Jared Cook is averaging 1.6 catch/23 yards/0 TD’s per game.

Demario Davis was really good today. Directly responsible for the stops on 4th down runs.

He gets my game ball on defense.

I'd give Apple the game ball too for not screwing up this game

I think the good points are easy for all to see today... So the bad:

1. Pass coverage in zone defense is still a huge issue. We continue to play zone and continue to give up the easy pass. A lot of garbage yards at the end of the game but it didn't look good.

2. AJ Klein is awful against the pass and shouldn't be on the field.

3. Play calling to start the game was bad. We need to rely on the running game. Looked like we figured that out in the 2nd half.

4. Teddy is what we expected. He isn't good, he is below average, if everyone around him plays great we have a shot. If we get behind in games we have no shot with Teddy at QB.

5. Jared Cook sucks. Not only does he suck but he looks uninterested. Taysom Hill is a better TE.

FailClowns post from earlier today did not age well.

Meanwhile in Indy the Colts beat the Clowns and the Saints beat the Hags a win is a win is a win! IF and BUT don't change IS 33 - 27!

Anyone other than Russell at QB today and we get 3+ sacks.

I think Bridgewater made some big strides today. He stopped trying to do too much and just started getting the ball to his playmakers. This was in a very hostile environment too... Brees has had some stinkers in Seattle.

	The Saints are 0-42 when running the ball less than 15 times in a game.
