If Saints Don't Serve 40-Burgers, We in Trouble... (1 Viewer)

[Who Dat MCFC]

Carr early (and late) show us how he could let rip and lots to be optimistic about our O -hoping MT can stay on the field

 

[SWJJ]

33 pass attempts
27 rush attempts

4 rushing attempts to run down the clock after the big Shaheed first down that clinched it.


So in essence we ran 23 times, and threw it 33 times.

Very aggressive playcalling and pass-centric approach.

and personally I'm here for it.

Go play Madden if you want saints to score 40 burger......This is not Payton and Brees offense..... I'll take a 3-0 win every week...!

This seems like an overstatement.

"If Carr does not pass for 400 yards and at least 4 TD's we are in trouble"...see I can do it too

This team is not built that way. It's like a Mora team - ground and pound and hope your kicker makes the FG at the end.

Do what? It’s built the complete opposite of that

I guess the better way to say it is this team is built around the defense, not trying to win by getting to 30 points and then getting a late stop.

I mean we scored 16 points at home and absolutely needed our rookie kicker to be perfect in a game our defense played lights out.

It was the first game of the season, against a good front 7 where our o-line was getting abused for a large part of the game (though collectively and individually improved after Halftime). We put the game away by doing essentially the complete opposite of last year and aggressively going for the kill shot downfield which with some more offensive chemistry could've well been a TD. This was because our QB asked our OC to give him and the WR a shot and the OC trusted them enough to do it, whilst our HC decided to let the guys getting paid to Coach and produce offense have their chance instead of vetoing it and opting for less risk. Keep in my mind this is all after the same QB took points off the board on a 2 minute drill to end the first half so the staff had plenty of reason to think "Let's not give him a chance to lose this for us by forcing something".

I don't know if you heard Davis post-game speech in the Locker room but he said "We all know it didn't have to be that close". Whilst I'm sure he's one of those people that always thinks they/his Defense could've done better, I don't think he was really talking about the defensive performance there.

None of these things tell me "Our staff and players want to play ball control, defensive minded football." If anything I think they expect the offense to perform much better as things move forward as trust and chemistry develop throughout the season.

I am just happy winning.

This. I don’t care if we win 3-2 every week. Truly. I actually love the old style defensive slug fests. We beat a very tough Titan team, all that matters to me.

Man I hope you’re right my friend. This team owns us lol.

I see no point to this thread.

You can't draw conclusions for the whole season based on the outcome of one game, when the starting offense only played one drive together in one preseason game. Typical fan overreaction...

Wow... I remember fans were excited last season about the possibility of unleashing an offense that would rain long TD passes from the stadium skies. Mike Thomas, Jarvis Landry, and Chris Olave would terrorize DBs and make every game a track meet. In the end, the Saints eventually win games feeding opponents a 40-burger along the way. Needless to say, expectations were not mirrored by reality.

This season the Saints OC is opting for ball control over "shock and awe". However, if the Saints believe they can win games without explosive plays in a high-powered offense, then this will be a long frustrating season. And even if the team makes it through a soft schedule with close wins, then the post season shapes up to be an embarrassment and disaster.

Dennis Allen might like these sluggfests where the defenses duke it out and the game is decided by one point. But whenever a Payton-Brees offense faced a 3-point margin at the end of the game, fans came to believe and expect "advantage Saints". And DA will find that the Saints running game.. the defense.. and the home-field crowd is all better when the Saints offense can serve up a 40-burger or at least establish a 2-score lead.

GO Saints...

You either are more into fantasy football then real football, or you picked the over on this game
