What happened in the game last night?

Great post from the OP

My concerns: Ruiz and Peat struggled when the defense blitzed yesterday. They looked confused at times. The trajectory of the football from Lutz on a few FG's was low. I'm surprised they didn't get blocked.

Good things: The signing on Jarvis Landry in the offseason paid off.
Okay. Many of those blitzes were not their fault. I saw Winston bring the ball back down which gave the blitz time to succeed. It seemed that many of Winston's passes were outside the hash marks in the first half particulalry. Quick passes over the middle are a matter of timing and are Thomas' bread and butter. The Saints didn't do much of that in the 1st half. I'd like to see a placement chart for Winston's passes to validate my observation. Also, it would be interesting to see how long on average Winston hold onto the ball during pass plays. Hopefully, his release time will improve once the rust shakes off.
