This was Carr/offense’s best game and their turning point (1 Viewer)

[SonOfNOLA]

38 points from all offensive scoring. Everything was clicking and going the offense’s way today. This is the explosive offense that we expected to see coming out of TC.

We finally see why Carr was paid 37M per year. 70.4%, 310 yards and 2 TDs. Big hookups to Thomas. 2 deep completions to Shaheed, one was a TD. He didn’t have trouble going through progressions and hit the open man at ease. Carr could’ve had a bigger day if not for a couple drops by Olave.

Blocking was great in run and pass protection. Offense was 3-3 in the redzone. Taysom did Taysom things. Carmichael’s playcalling was consistently good all game.

This team can easily take this division if they stay consistent like today’s performance going forward.

I'll agree best offensive output to date. Efficient, play calling was MUCH better.

I'd love @Rouxble do plays from this game vs first 7 to see differences. ( if any because it sure felt like it )


Not sold on "turning point" just yet. Let's see what next week at home looks like.

Carr was really good today, by far his best performance as a Saint. The positive way of looking at it is the offense has been awful until today and yet we’re 4-4 with a nice run of games to come.

If the offense can continue to play at or close to this level then we might have something. Defense needs to get back closer to the level it was at, at the start of the season. Still not convinced but definitely feeling a lot more hopeful after watching that.

Protection looked good. Offense def left some meat on the bone but it was a good game. We will be constantly chasing our potential.

The Colts aren't very good

I definitely like this o-line combo thus far.

I need to see if a few weeks in a row before I’d say it was a turning point.

Now let’s see if they can do it two or three games in a row.

This COULD be a turning point.

Great game. Showed what we’re capable of. But also a lot of mistakes that would have haunted us against even a marginally better defense.

 

[Nolan]

If we show this on a consistent basis, sure. I'm there. But it's the first time we've shown it, and it was vs the Colts who just gave up 40 to the PJ Walker led Browns last week. I don't wanna partake in the exercise where we trample over a terrible team and get hopes up, only to show who we really are the next week. We've been burned too many times with that.

4 straight weeks of looking like an NFL offense though? Yeah I'm down.

 

[Joshwa]

We should have won the Packers game. We should have won against the Jags too.

At least the adjusted oline looks massively improved. Not perfect. But not god awful.

 

[Chopper Man]

Today the offense had its most productive day since Drew Brees was behind center.

 

[Noble Saint]

Stuck watching either cowboys or falcons, but when I saw we were losing 17-7 I was ready to trade everyone for draft picks.

 

[El Caliente]

This could have been a turning point game, it also could have been another fools gold win.

 

[EGLSShin]

2nd in 10 run plays are drive killers for this team.

I am starting to believe someone on the offense has a tell. a lot of times AK runs the ball he is hit almost as soon as he gets the hand off.
