Bright Spots

If you didn't look at the score you might think we had a decent game

 

1) Running game looked good. Everyone averages over 4 ypc. Look for Williams to shine getting 20 carries an 100 yards against the jets in the lone back role.

2) No turnovers. 

3) Cam was efficient. 65% completion rate and looked great running the ball.

4) Ginn got us 100+ yards on returns and looked like he could take one back.

5) Nortman had one bad kick I think but still managed to flip the field most times.

Honestly Cam looked pretty damned good most of the time.  He is progressing thru his reads and hitting the receivers... he could improve his movement in the pocket some, but otherwise he's playing well.  His O line didn't help much, Bell got just flat beat 90% of the time.

 

There were a couple of times where his timing looked a bit off, that play to Ginn on the right sideline is a good example...  he was about 1 second late getting the ball out... he's got to trust his receivers are going to run the route and get the ball out before they cut.  That's what Brees did so well last night.

That was clearly the gameplan - efficient ball control football.  It might have worked, on another day. 

 

 

not getting 14 points early really hurt us, Gano's missed field goal

 

 

I don't think we were winning that game, no matter though. Brees played great and we had zero pass rush

 

another bright spot was Smitty's TD, another one for his HOF case.

Yeah it was a rough game but I loved that TD last night for some reason and to watch Smith give it to a young fan was pretty cool to view.

You did a much better job of finding bright spots than I did. I honestly couldn't think of a single one. This partially confirms what I suspected: the gap between us and the Saints is not as big as what last night seemed to show.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
