Not so much we lost, its how we lost to Philly

Coming into the season there was two glaring holes to me.

1. How bad is the OL. KK was able to scheme around some of those issues the first two games but after McCoy's injury it just fell apart. You can't have an OL that is so fragile that one guy goes down. I am little worried that even when McCoy is back that the Eagles may have figured out how to defend the Saints. They took the run away and dared us to beat them in the air and we don't have the pass protection and to be honest the threats to do it.

2. No real third WR threat. We run so much 12 personal because we lack and true third down weapon. Once the Eagles stacked 5 on the line we never where able to change personal and force them to respect the pass.

3. So little was asked of Carr the first two games, I just feel like Carr's tenure so far has been, good-great QB when things are going are way, but V to bad when not.

This game just felt so much like last season, teams stuffing the run game, getting stuck in 3rd and long and being unable to convert.

I think the Saints will still win some games and likely still compete for the division but how we lost this game was very revealing and has me worried. I
Agree. However, I expected the offense to adjust to what the Eagles were doing on defense but they never did. Against that 5 man front, they continually tried running AK between the tackles, they didn’t move the pocket, they didn’t run any screens, they didn’t take advantage of the fact that Baun was expected to cover AK man to man, they didn’t throw to the TEs.
