Saints came in angry and just beat the Pats to every spot. We've seen games like this several times in weeks three or four, so I won't press the panic button just yet.
Team has a long was to go, obviously. The OL remains a huge concern - Saints were blitzing constantly and the way you beat that is with quick hit slants, dumps and draws. Pats did none of that.
Some of the folks here are really absurd, though. BB ain't getting fired. Jonnu Smith had a terrible game, but no, he doesn't stink at all. News flash: sometimes people have bad games.
They'll get better as the year goes on. Rookie QB, ya know. See what Fields did today? 9 sacks. 9. He was awful.
Worst thing today was watching Sony play very well in LA. Flipped one blitzer upside down...can't believe they traded him, particularly if they're really so down on Taylor and Stevenson. Ah well, this is what rebuilding looks like. The whole team was flat today, pretty much. Thought Barmore played well pushing the pocket. Judon is as advertised. Bourne took some steps forward.
The playcalling was atrocious from the get-go. They get the Saints 3 and out, then gain 7 on first down, and launch two incomplete bombs. I mean, seriously. Get the damned first down. Keep the Saints off the field. Yuck.
