Saints Pos/Neg Thread

Negatives:

1st quarter
2nd quarter
3rd quarter

Positive:

4th quarter

Negative:

Joe Barry, just on principle

“Fooled around and fell in Love…”

Jordan Love may never have the greatest completion % stats but he’s a playmaker and preternaturally cool under pressure.

I can’t wait to see him play with a full deck in this offense. Watson and Jones will open things up immeasurably.

I've got the sweetest hangover:

++++++++

JLove, JLove, JLove.

Rasheed Walker was EXCELLENT in pass blocking against a very good Saints D.

Tom is good as gold blocking for the pass.

Musgrave is the best receiving TE since ...?

Reed gets open (hands a little iffy but he gets open).

Ballentine was darn good under the circumstances.

- - - - - NEGATIVE.

Degaura could get cut tomorrow and no one would notice.

Taylor is more dynamic and better than Dillon at this point.

Why do you expect Watson to come back? 

Positives

Love answering the call in the 4th quarter.  Got about 60 yards in PI calls on the first TD but he capitalized.    This is what we needed to see this season.  Games where he grows and succeeds.   Not much else matters when that happens so I’ll skip the negatives.

If rodgers did what love did today, the rookie kicker for new orleans would have made the kick. May jl will have good karma when he brings the team back. Good job Jordan.

Just a stunning win. Periodt!

Love is the real deal. Working within basically a varsity HS team and a make shift OL. He literally made chicken salad outa shit. Amazing

Minus   Way too many stupid penalties.   WR get little separation.

Positive  The only thing that really matters, the final score.

+ Gary, Doubs, Love, Tom, Walker and J Winston playing (Packers lose if Carr doesn't get injured)

- penalties, run blocking, MLF 4th down decisions, and Bakh's sad face on the sideline after the win (just IR this distraction)

Came from behind in the 4th quarter to win by one.  Complete flip from last week.

Saw online that every player on offense that played today is still on their rookie contract.  Good job youngin's.  Wasn't always pretty but getting the W is all that matters.

Defense gave up 10 points today.  Respect where it's due.

Don’t IR Bahk. Make him Walker’s back up. We heard Walker’s name once today, when he went uncovered. That penalty should go to the nearest receiver.

+ W

+ Didn't hear that there were any major injuries, hopefully they came out relatively unscathed.

+ Hopefully Jones, Watson, Bak, Jenkins and Alexander are a few days closer to being healthy.  Stokes back after the bye week maybe?

+ Not giving up

- Dillon

- Coaching.  Lots of head scratchers in this one.

Are you effing kidding me?!?!!

They scored 18 unanswered vs one of the best defenses in the league. WITHOUT some of their best players.

This team is for real!

Packers Win!!!

Negative:

I missed the game.  Huge Communications outage here.  Cable, internet, and some cell towers all down.

And still shit the bed again with the game on the line. A win is great, but the missed FG was a gift. We've seen them lose games like that for years now.

+ Wins are good. Love struggled a lot but was able to put it together in the second half. Progress is good.

- Vikings may lose enough to actually draft a good QB.

That is true (missed FG) but there would have been enough time to drive for a FG afterwards.  With the NO D on their heels.  The fact they were in that position at all is nuts.

And that’s my biggest issue with Barry. Situational football.

Love struggling early vs a red hot D shouldn't surprise anyone. That he and MLF found success in the 4Q was very encouraging.

Some might call that "in game adjustments"

Not sure what happened.  Some people on the internet are saying they saw a fiber optics line on fire.  I live on an island so it doesn't take much to knock out our comms.

Dillon, Wilson and Taylor all had the same average per carry, but only Dillon gets a minus.      And Taylor had the shit throw back pass to Love too.

He is the only high pick among them.

Making him a Bahk-up 😃 LT is a great idea in theory. However I could see him playing the "knee card" out of spite when called upon to play. He can't be depended on anymore.

I think Bahk has embraced the diva role now with his buddy AR gone; and is a distraction in a lockerroom of very young players that are bonding together.

Bahk isn't in the future plans anyway; so let Walker develop this season instead. Then we'll know how high of a priority LT will be in the 2024 draft.

It was Wilson with the shit throw back pass

You’re entitled to your opinion. So am I. You don’t know WTF you’re talking about.

You're DB Cooper. Of course you live on an island.

That was Wilson in the first quarter then Love slipped on the turf otherwise they complete that 4th down play.

...and expectations for TOG's are already pretty low.  Taylor is a JAG and who knows what Wilson is, probably best suited as a PS guy right now.

Did Gary have three sacks? How many snaps was he out there?

+ I thought those odd plays MLF called in the 1st qt were were great, except for the players not being able to execute.

Coincidentally, the Chiefs just ran the same play. It looked a lot better.😂

Fiber optics are buried, aren’t they?

That's why I am skeptical of the reports.
