Should we really be worried about the Eagles? (1 Viewer)

[slikk]

It's week 1 chill out some teams will look bad and some may look great but it's one game. Give it time and let the season unfold a little bit.

Hmmm, Saints could use a player like that Baun guy. How come we never draft a dude like that?

What position would he have played??

 

[Saintstigerking]

Make no mistake, Eagles barely pulling out a victory against the Packers tells me a whole heck of a lot. The regression is 100% real. A very lucky win for a weak defence and a QB that is starting to look more like a Cam Newton than a Patrick Mahommes.

I’m telling you right now, The Saints have a much D than we have seen through 2 games and 4 Teams.

Our offense has flashed good things in the preseason and we haven’t shown what we are doing yet. I’m betting dollars to donuts it will be the best Offensive output in the last 3 years.

So brings me to original topic. I’ve seen so many people thinking after week1, we are in so tough and may lose the next 4… my question is why?

Firstly what makes Dallas so good? Secondly why should we be afraid of the Eagles? What have the Falcons proven?

I’m no where near saying we will win all of those games but I’m going to call it now, 3-2 someway somehow at a minimum.

These teams don’t scare me and frankly I think we may have one of our best Defensice units in years, and our O is more than capable of scoring just knowing that we actually run a modern NFL offence.

no fear over here, Saints going to surprise!

Those are four heavyweights. Judging them off playing each other is not the same as playing us. Can we compete sure. But we’d go 0-4 if we played all four teams.

This is the NFL, you should be worried about every team because they can all beat you on any given day. Treat every game the same IMO

I'm not a player or coach though, so why should I be worried? Worrying will have zero effect on the outcome of the games.

I said week 1 aside, the main narrative here is we will be in tough maybe lose most of our next 4 games.

Every week is tough. The Saints can beat the Eagles. The Saints can beat any team. They can also lose to any team.

Way I see it, if we show up strong, forget about all the national narratives, beat most of these teams and play competitive in the losses, the entire story changes.

If we go out and lose most of them, we may win the consolation prize of watching the new Rattler era.

Either way I'm good

I am worried about the Eagles. They seem to take advantage of the Saints in trades and FA.

We can beat all 4 teams that played this weekend

Until we see the saints play. Absolutely no one can say that.

Saints oline could show up and block great. Defense balls out.

Or saints could be pushed back 2 yards deep every play. DL in carrs face and he’s throwing multiple picks.

We won’t know til tomorrow

I’m telling you right now, The Saints have a much better D than we have seen through 2 games and 4 Teams.

Our offense has flashed good things in the preseason and we haven’t shown what we are doing yet. I’m betting dollars to donuts that it will be the best Offensive output in the last 3 years.

Right now we should be worried about the Carolina Panthers.

 

[Treybad]

As of right now we should be worried about every team...

We have a guy that will be better than him in OUR system , his name is YOUNG

 

[solarbear88]

I think we have the power to beat the Eagles or Cowboys. So I see no need for all the doom and gloom. I just hope everything clicks and we don't get a repeat of last year's efforts. I want to see some good battles and get out with a win or two vs these teams.

 

[CowtownSaint]

So… Again… I Ask

So… Again… I Ask

We can beat anyone. This is how you play football.

BULLY BALL is the motto this year

Bayou bullies on defense and offense. YOLO

 

[ELLIASJWILLIAMS]

We should be worried about every opponent every week.

#1 rule of battle. Respect your opponent. Some of the Dallas Cowboys players didn’t get the memo prior to the game.

This is why I like this new culture DA is building. It’s the right type of culture for todays NFL

Yeah, they can beat anyone. Just have to keep running the ball well and controlling the LoS on defense. I'm not concerned about the defense as I think they are this good and will only get better with a healthy Lattimore.

But, at some point we are likely going to have to throw the ball when the other team knows we are going to throw. That will be the next big test. But, hopefully running the ball like we have will have given Penning and Fuaga the time they need to settle in and be ready.
