Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Falcons

Falcons

29th in rushing - ran for 160 yards
30th in defense - held us to 9 points and got 6 sacks

Pathetic Saints, simply pathetic.

We usually have at least one or two of these types of losses each season... I’m not shocked.

I will change my tone if we look the same next week.

This was the first time in the Sean Payton-Drew Brees era that we haven’t scored double-digit points at home.

This game showed why having a #2 receiver is needed

Coulda had Lamar Jackson... but no, we had to have Marcus Davenport.

Not scoring a TD against the 30th ranked defense is pathetic.

This game proved beyond any reasonable doubt, we are the only ones living in La La Land unable to realize our 40 year old QB is well... a 40 year old QB.

I hope to god we win the SB this year cause time is truly running out with Brees.

The last few weeks we have pounded the rock and worn down defenses until we could carve them up in the 2nd half... We didn't do that at all this week.

Our penalties kept Ryan on the field.

We arr 8-1 seeing as how we beat ourselves this week. A win is a win right?

Because their pass defense has been atrocious all year. That should have been the gameplan

Glad that’s out of the way. Now use it to you advantage.
