Week 3 Rapid Response: Saints Looking for Answers (Just Like the Rest of Us)

Three takeaways from the Eagles game.

The execution level wasn't what we saw in the first two games. If I had seen the first three Saint games randomly and had been asked which was week one, I'd have sworn it was the Eagles game.

The Saints didn't adapt their gameplan to the new scheme the Eagle defense was playing.

The Eagles exposed a weakness on the Saints' base defense that has been there since training camp and if the rest of the NFL picks up on it, it will make for some long afternoons.

If any one of those were different, the Saints would have won that game. Sirianni tried awful hard to give us that game.
