No wins against good teams (1 Viewer)

[SaintStephen1]

Saints will not score and possess ball enough against good teams with Brees out. Expect to lose all of those games similarly to Rams score something like 24-10. Against all other teams the games will be ugly with the Saints winning about half of them. No sure victories.

Should we even play since you think it?

I think that you aren't putting enough faith in Payton.

Hope you’re right.

Let's not try to overreact much yet.

So if the Saints beat Seattle or Dallas those weren't good teams?

BTW, do you know the number of times the Saints possessed the ball (drives) vs Rams drives, or number of Saints plays ran vs Rams plays ran, or TOP?

Points scored on Offense is a valid concern, but the Saints moved the ball, ran almost equal amount of plays, equal number of possessions, and almost equal TOP. So the narrative of the Saints not possessing the ball enough or not long enough caused the lack of point production doesn't fit IMO.

Penalties, O line blocking, WR drops are what killed the Offense's point production IMO. Teddy made errors too, but I didn't see anything that couldn't be corrected to allow the Saints O to beat a good team EVEN WITHOUT Drew. Certainly the O line looked demoralized after losing Drew. The entire team was demoralized and it was also a short week after a physical and emotional MNF win.

And let's not pretend the Saints haven't been beat by more than 18 points before even with Drew at QB.

Not possible to make an intelligent prediction until we see a full game that was game planned for Teddy / Taysom.

Of course I think Seattle and Dallas are good teams.

Thanks, Nostradamus.

Picking against the Saints after losing Brees is the easy money. I bet everybody here knows the season just got a lot tougher and is anxious to see how they respond, and is preparing for disappointment.

I don’t care about playing “I told you so” so I’m just hoping for the best.

OP sounds like you should put yourself on IR - or FWFR - until Drew comes back
