Observations from the Saints' win against the Colts

11. Brees is throwing a beautiful deep ball right now. Looks like there is enough on them to get there. I actually really enjoyed him floating one up there for Cook to run under for the catch.

Good teams don't lose TWICE in a row.

Saints put on a clinic last night.

Brees was meticulous & surgical. That was some 2011 offensive stuff going on. Congrats on breaking the record. ALL TIME GREAT. You're a LEGEND #9.

And Michael Thomas is a damn monster. The Colts defenders knew it was coming but simply couldn't stop it. When you are as powerful with your hands and can run PRECISE, ELITE routes, you don't need 4.4 speed. Money well spent on CGM & only 26 years old

.

Nice win

"We're on to the Titans". Gotta keep winning.

1. Brees looked like a man possessed and played like it.

2. Cook opens up this offense significantly.

3. OLine played very well all things considered.

4. DLine played well against a very talented OLine, but we need someone not named Cam to step up in applying pressure.

5. CGJ is much, much better at Safety than at CB.

6. Dome Field Advantage showed up on MNF.

7. Michael Thomas can't beat defenses on verticals, but still does.

Facts.

One mo ...

DEMARIO DAVIS. Loved what Vilma brought to that D but IMO DD is better. Excellent in coverage, against the run & tackles well in space.

He was good in NY but turned it up a notch in NO.

So he's better than Vilma?

IMO he is. Watching his play over the last year, he has the total package for the position. If he plays for the Cows, he's a household name and ALL PRO.

I agree and would go so far as to say he is the best FA pickup since Brees.
Plus he’s an awesome person.

I think so

yeah Demario edges out Vilma in a few categories. I do give Vilma the edge as far as getting his defense lined up and just being more of the vocal general on the field. he did so much in that regard and really made an effort to study the opponent and it really showed in division games. but I'd give it to Demario. best non dome patrol LB in saints history
