A bad week for our NFC South rivals

If you're looking for the silver lining, here it is:

The Saints are on the road, going to Dallas. The Cowboys definitely aren't slouches this year, and their defense is better than expected. Their offense is excellent, per usual, and they'll be going up against a Saints defense on that is terrible on the road. I truly believe the Cowboys will win this game. 

As for Atlanta, they're traveling to Minnesota. They're playing a Vikings team that is now led by Teddy Bridgewater, who looked 100 times better than Cassel did vs. the Saints (He almost won on the road against the Saints, btw). I think Asiata gives the Falcons front seven a lot of trouble, while Bridgewater throws some quick dump-off passes to tire out a mediocre Atlanta defense.

So if both of our rivals lose, that'll put the Saints at 1-3, and the Falcons at 2-2. A win in Baltimore and we're one game ahead. A loss in Baltimore, and we'd still be tied.

I don't see the Saints or Falcons losing. I don't think you realize just how bad Minnesota is

Minnesota with Teddy Bridgewater looked like a whole different animal. Saints defense is a lot better than Atlanta's, especially when they're under the dome. Bridgewater was dangerous with his feet and his passing was efficient.

Yeah I totally agree about Bridgewater, I thought he came in and did a nice job and showed good awareness all things considered. But they also just lost Rudolph, Norv loves his tight ends and so do young QB's. Hopefully the crowd will be into it being Teddy's first start and that can give them some momentum.

Last season the Cowboys travelled to the dome and I don't think they stopped Brees on a single possession. Their D hasn't gotten any better so I expect pretty much the same thing. We basically need to hope for Romo to have a fantastic game in order for them to win this one and I have zero faith in Romo.

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
