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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?

      If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
