Talking heads all week about how great Saints offense

Eagles gave Falcons the game last week

Baun and Garner Johnson playing against old team

Losing McCoy and no Hill didn't help

Not getting points off turnovers

Defense turns stupid on the Dallas Goerdert play


Tough to take this game

Hopefully we will knock them out of playoffs, make it sweeter.
 
Eagles were in the backfield every play.

When you say Udoh out there. You instantly will now think Uhoh.

No Mccoy no run.
 
it could have been much worse. It felt like the Eagles had the ball to entire game. The OL got abused
I think Payton and Brees were a great combination, but one of their weaknesses was a game like today. The constant disruptive pressure up the middle after McCoy went out is the kind of situation in which Payton and Brees would press too hard, leading to a lot of points off of turnovers. With Payton and Brees, this game would have been over by halftime. I like how Kubiak and Carr responded. It gave the Saints a chance to win all the way until the end of the game.

Hopefully, Patrick will do a better job at center after getting a week of starting reps at center and Hill will be back. I think the Saints win this game with a healthy Hill, even after losing McCoy.
