I don’t disagree with anything you just said other than 90% of it had nothing to do with “if we don’t dominate the falcons we have problems” nonsense.

I’m one of the few that said this would be a double digit win from the first thread posted about it. So it has nothing to do with my aspirations. It’s just understanding that week 1 doesn’t determine anything about the destiny of your team. It’s nice to get a win, the style of win literally doesn’t matter.

You see, it is up to the defense to lead the team this year. I think the defense should step up and show the nfl that we don't have to score 35+ points to win games.

All the Saints defensive coaching talent we have in house. At the end of pre season, I thought we had as good a back end defense as anyone.....including the Bills. We are going to find out real quick, how good we and how deep we are, with Adebo out and CJGJ gone. They must like the DBs we have in house.

Atlanta went from Matt Ryan to Mariota - QB1

Atlanta avg. 24.8 points a game w/ Matt Ryan, which gave them the 26th ranking on offense.

The Saints at the end of the 2021 season had a 4th ranking on defense. It would be a let down, if we don't dominate on defense w/ this secondary and this many healthy pass rushers. Cam, Davenport, Street, Turner, Thona, Granderson etc.
