Interesting Factoid...

It's been 12 quarters since the D gave up a meaningful touchdown. Chi scored one on a kickoff return and their other points were in trash time...

I am going to be lazy and not look but I bet I can find that same exact statement with either Chicago or the Bears in it maybe a dozen times.

Lutz needs to tighten up. Something's not right w him

From the OF COURSE I'M AN EGGSPURT Dept: DeAngelo Hall & Others, Week 8 bold predictions: Kyler Murray slays Saints; Panthers hand 49ers first L:rofl:

Chauncey Gardner Johnson has a nose for the ball. Cornerback speed and linebacker mentality. His angles are nice ... high IQ.

I think he's gonna be special. I see signs.

Wait until he masters the defensive scheme.

Re: Observations from the Saints Win Against the Cardinals
 

For the second week in a row, only the Saints stopped the Saints. When they were stopped at all.

Drew was mostly a game manager in the first half, and he managed the last possession before the half rather poorly.

Drew looked like Drew in the second half, and the Saints stopped screwing themselves over.

Ingram is clearly not missed anymore, if he ever was. Murray looks like a better all-around player than he has ever been, and is easily replacing Ingram's production, now that he's getting a chance.

Defense was very disciplined and made Kyler Murray beat them with his arm, which he was clearly not ready to do.

Shy Tuttle looks like a real player. He seems to be in the backfield a lot when he comes in, and he moves well for such a big man.

- Brees is just different level great.
- Taysom is the MVP of this team. QB. RB. TE. WR. Special teams. Difference maker.
- Murray stepped up like the man he is.
- Can't guard Mike. There were actually times today when he wasn't guarded. WTH?
- OL is the best in the NFL.
- Gardner Johnson is the truth.
- Loved the lack of penalties.

- Lutz needs to hit the reset button before this gets out of hand.

1. Cam was blowing by the RT like he was moving through a turnstile most of the game. I'm surprised they didn't bring in a back or TE to chip.
2. I'm a little surprised also that they didn't do more designed QB runs ( I only saw one) especially since they couldn't run the ball traditionally.
3. Our B TE's had a good day. Josh has become a pretty solid receiver.
4. Murray is proving an upgrade over Ingram. I love him as a RB, and dump off or screen pass catcher, but I'm not sure if he needs to be running more complicated WR routes.
5. Nice seeing Taysom getting more action, definitely our X factor.
