Yup, but most player scratches were on defensive side of the ball.  Their offense have no real excuse for getting beat like drum.

Maybe you are right but having their center out could have caused big problems for their offense no? Also their top WR is out as well as coaches. I only watched the second half but I kept hearing them talk about how the saints seem to not show any fire on offense. Maybe it’s because of our defense or maybe they just weren’t in it today.

You guys got lucky Covid and the refs handed you the win. I don't even count this as a loss as much as I see this as another NFL screw job on the Saints. 

Lol get your fat ass out of here. We bent you over and took what we wanted, with no lube.

Yeah you're right. It's like they always say...when a team loses it's starting center it just folds and has no fire and the QB usually starts throwing INT's while the tackles get beat for sacks all day long.

 

Every team has to deal with losing players, whether it's COVID or whatever. No excuses.

A win is a win, period.

That said, by game-time the total number of Saints coaches who had to miss this one was 8...

...5 offensive, 2 defensive, 1 special teams.

Notably, all 8 had been vaccinated -- will be interesting to see how quickly they do or don't come back.

I doubt Payton dwells on this loss for long given the storms, relocation of entire team, covid outbreak, etc...

Elsewhere Tyrod Taylor was 10-11 with a 144 RTG before pulling a hamstring.  Score was tied at the half and Texans moving the ball with ease before TT got hurt...

...you know a QB reserves the right to change his mind at any time?

Oh, and don't look now but ol' TB5 is 54-70 with 592yds passing, 4TD's, 0 INT's, and a rating of RTG 120.7 😏

Go fuging root for another team then. Seriously. If you cannot be stoked after today then you’re just a miserable son of a bitch.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
