Observations from the Saints win vs Jaguars

cmike · 10-13-2019, 05:43 PM

Teddy threw a lot of baaaddd passes today. Throws that could have kept drives alive and points on the board.

It looks like Teddy is playing not to lose. Whether thats on Payton or TB, we don't know.

Our defense is looking about as close to elite as you can get.

Murray and Cook looked good today.

That's a great observation - and at this point it testifies to how talented this team is and justifies fan expectations for success this year...

I think if anybody was still harboring thoughts that TB was the heir apparent you just had a hard slap of reality today. The man was scared and throwing the ball all over with little control today. He could not read the defense and went to his safety valves MT AK and seldom looked any place else. He looked absolutely zoned out on the bench. Sure he did not lose the game but Murray and Cook and Thomas carried the offense today when it counted.

Michael Thomas and Kamara have been carrying the offense since last year even with Brees in the line up. There’s a reason we have been looking for help at receiver. The running game was non existent for most of the contest and we were playing a good defense.

Disagree with most of this.

He didn't look scared.

How do you know he couldn't read the defense? You already looked at your all-22?

He looked at other options before checking down most of the game.

He din't look "zoned out" on the bench. They showed him on the bench 1 time.

He din't have a good game, but some of you guys...

Off topic ... stats says the Saints rank 19th defensively??

The last 3 weeks I see an ELiTE defense that's hard to run and pass on.

Just ask Gurley, Zeke, Fournette etc.

I think we gave up tons in the first 2 games.

Check Down Betty showed up today.

Should have run Murray more.

On to next week.

Considering Kamara was definitely playing hurt? yes, we should have banged away more with Murray today...

K Major · 10-13-2019, 06:45 PM

Final stats on Teddy B...

240 yards passing/ 0 INT / 94.7 rating /66 yard completion %.

Sure there was some bad throws today but ^^^ this is not losing football.
