Observations from the Saints win over the Falcons

Glad for any win, and certainly a division clinching one against the Clowns, BUT...

The finish to that game SUCKED!!!

Is Kamara still hurt??? He did little on the ground and looked scared of the ball on onside kicks. I was reminded of the onside kickoff in the Bourbon Bowl in Waterboy. “Oh yeah, there’s my #####!"

Letting that game get close was pathetic. It took 9 sacks and 3 turnovers to beat Atlanta. Either stat by itself should have been enough!

The defense went soft, the offense went to sleep at times and the penalties again were killers.

We play like that vs 69ers and we’ll get spanked...

Agree on all the above! Plus, we were fortunate the Falcons missed a couple of key kicks during the game. We may have won the Division, but based upon the past 3 weeks performances this team is going NOWHERE in the playoffs. They have a lot of work ahead of them if they expect to be a legit SB contender. The team looked awful today on offense and seem to have no discipline given the number of penalties taken. As I watched the game last night, I was getting more and more concerned. This was against the Falcons....not the Patriots, Ravens or SF. I have confidence in Payton to right the ship, but they are taking on water badly!
