Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans

1) Too many flags in this game, both ways really. Boger-ball

2) CGM is an animal. Honestly, Logan Ryan and the other Titans DB's actually covered him pretty well, still didn't matter.

3) CJGJ looks pretty good in safety positions. He did a great job on that big hit not leading with his head and then having the presence of mind to recover the ball.

4) Patrick Robinson got himself out of the doghouse to say the least. Let's hope he keeps it up.

5) Got quite pass-happy on a rainy day at times. Kind of fortunate it didn't cost us. Brees was just inches from being sacked for a safety. We caught a few breaks.

6) Good thing Henry wasn't playing today because the Titans run-blocked quite well.

7) Panthers got walloped today, seems like a trap game coming our way.

Yeah, I know I will probably get flamed for this. But it sure looked to me like Drew was probably down in the end zone on that play (knowing the way the refs have treated us, it honestly could have been called either way). And after he hit the turf, Drew immediately pointed at the one yard line and gestured, "I was out there" and the refs moved the ball forward out to the one yard line and spotted it very generously for him. Sometimes it's good to be a record-breaking veteran QB. I kinda felt like the likes of Brady, Rogers, Manning and Brees will get that call, get that spot, but most other ordinary QB's might not have. Drew is a warrior and the refs know it. Sometimes, if you pay your dues and prove you love the game enough, the game loves you right back, and that's Drew.

It looked like a for-sure safety to me. I was shocked the replay wasn't reviewed. Thought I must've just seen that wrong.
