Saints stomp Bears, move to 5-0 with Bridgewater

No Drew Brees? No problem.

That would have sounded crazy to say about the Saints when Brees suffered the thumb injury that knocked him out for much of this season, but the Saints dominated the Bears 36-25 today and improved to 5-0 in games Teddy Bridgewater has started this season.

Bridgewater completed 23 of 38 passes for 281 yards, with two touchdowns and no turnovers. He played very well against a good Bears defense, and showed that the Saints are just fine with Brees sidelined.

That’s not to say the Saints don’t want Brees back — he’s expected back soon, and he’ll start over Bridgewater — but the Saints are showing that they’re a complete team, and not just a team that wins because of their Hall of Fame quarterback.

The Bears, on the other hand, have a very serious problem with their young quarterback, Mitchell Trubisky. He looked promising last year in his first season playing in coach Matt Nagy’s offense, but he was a major disappointment today. The Bears’ offense couldn’t get anything going, with Chicago’s only touchdown before garbage time coming on a Cordarrelle Patterson kickoff return.

Chicago's a tough city to play QB, ask Jay Cutler and Jimmy Mac. Da Bears spend their money on Defense.
The Chicago O-Line looked like swiss cheese today but as they say that's their problem..

Alternate Headline:

CGM takes clear lead in NFL 2019 MVP race as he only needs Sean Payton to consistently deliver victories.

CGM:
Yardage - Leads league
1st downs - 2nd in league only 1 reception behind #1

Doesn't matter what anyone really thinks, its firstdowns and yardage that keep an offense moving and CGM is our bell cow. Not Brees, Not Kamara, Not TB..

Mentally tough squad.

BTW, collectively who has a better defensive front 7? New England maybe?

Chicago had 18 yards rushing against the Saints. That is impressive to me.

What speaks volumes to me is that Chicago had only 7 carries... In a game where their QB just came back from a shoulder injury and forced to throw 54 times.

We didnt just stop their run game, we made it go away. They averaged 24 carries per game until yesterday and 30 pass attempts per game.

The Bears got scared of running the ball after the fumbles lost. This new rookie RB of theirs seems pretty ordinary. I bet they really regret letting Jordan Howard go to the Eagles.

Rankins' return made us stouter. Brown and Daveport are money. And it goes without saying for number 94. Almost lost in the shuffle is OnyoMama.

Don't forget Carl Granderson. Saw him in on a few plays too.

Ask Payton how tough it is to play QB in Chicago.
