Titans are fun to watch.
Saints are tough and I don't think they've hit their stride yet.
It'll be tough for them this week to do that...

Best NFL Team in Texas- 27
Down on the Bayou- 26

Saints are tough and I don't think they've hit their stride yet.

Matchup to watch:

CJ Stroud's 0-INT streak

vs.

Saints' DBs

Stroud has looked fantastic so far. Will five games of film help Dennis Allen's crew uncover some tendencies and gain enough of an edge to turn over Stroud at least once?

 

[Jayded]

Hoping we see a Metchie break out party this week in Tank’s absence

I think so, that’s an elite pass D. I don’t think Hou can run well enough to keep the d in check.

Can’t join you there, Brother Jayded

(In other news, Brian Kelly is now a genius again!)

Stroud had some close calls versus ATL. I hope I'm wrong but I think Nola breaks the streak.

Streak broken!

Zack Baun fumbles the INT return right back to Houston

Best INT ever

 

[Doug B]

Saintsreport already pulling the Bill Paxton "Game over, man!" stupidity

 

[Doug B]

Rashid Shaheed answers for the Saints -- 7-7 ballgame.

EDIT: From 34 yards out for anyone still playing distance scoring.

 

[rockaction]

Chris Meyers and Mark Schlereth are the worst announcing pair you can have.

Just awful.

I wouldn't even call that a skinny post he's so skinny!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Meyers!

 

[Doug B]

The Saints sat 2022 1st round LT Trevor Penning today in favor of journeyman James Hurst. Dennis Allen trying to light a fire under Penning, who started the first five games but underwhelmed? Maybe, but Hurst just left the game and Penning is back playing LT. Let's see what happens.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Embarrassing that NO is incapable of finding a way to get their star 1st rd WR involved nearing 3 straight weeks.

Fire OC, start over.

Spent three days trying to talk myself into starting Emari Demercado over Olave. Didn't pull the trigger. One more day to stew over it and I probably would have. It's that bad.

Yup. Started him this week only cause Watson & Pickens are on bye, but he gotta get going this second half. "Always start your studs", but idk.....even your studs can start hurting your chances eventually. Bench him til he makes you regret it.

 

[GregR]

Texans with 97 yards rushing at halftime. Singletary with 53 of them. Starting to wonder if he is a better fit for how Texans are currently run blocking. He is finding holes farther outside stretching it out while Pierce gets bottled up going straight ahead

 

[GregR]

If you have to throw an INT that is about the ideal way to do it. Ball in the same spot and got a fesh set of downs.

 

[GregR]

Texans need to get more pressure on Carr. I won't be surprised to see more blitzing.

 

[kface]

Pierce getting his chances from a fantasy perspective but the blocking is just awful

 

[GregR]

Texans short yardage blocking has been consistently poor. Always someone with penetration.

 

[dmac37]

Pierce getting his chances from a fantasy perspective but the blocking is just awful

Multiple chances and the O-line keeps getting blown up. I thought there would be improvement as they start getting healthy, not so much....

 

[Jayded]

Why the Texans keep trotting out Woods and especially Brown is bothersome. Hutchinson and Metchie can’t get a few looks with Dell out?

No RB would have a chance...there are 3 guys in the backfield 1/2 second after the sack

 

[GregR]

Who got the sack?

 

[GregR]

First sack of Stroud in 4 games

 

[cockroach]

How'd he miss that?

 

[Doug B]

Who got the sack?

LB Demario Davis

 

[Doug B]

How'd he miss that?

Dude's all up in his head right now. Whole Saints team is jacked mentally at the moment.

Mike McDaniel or Doug Pederson with this same roster is probably 4-1 right now going for 5-1.

 

[GregR]

Hold your ground!

 

[ShamrockPride]

Pathetic, fearful playcalling by NO.

 

[Insein]

I didn't see any PI but also a personal foul so wouldn't have mattered

 

[ShamrockPride]

Carr's not very good. Glorified checkdown artist with Kamara now.

 

[Major]

Pathetic, fearful playcalling by NO.

and Carr will always just be a very average QB

 

[Desert_Power]

Like what the Texans are building with Ryans and Stroud

 

[Desert_Power]

Anyone who watched this more closely than me opine on why Singletary out-touched Pierce today?

 

[Major]

Singletary was running better and finding holes. Seemed like Pierce wasn't reading the blocking schemes as well and getting bottled up.

 

[Doug B]

He has no time. He'd be fine in KC, Detroit, or Miami.

 

[GregR]

Whew. Feels so good after the last 3 years. Sorry Saints fans. You had a good crowd here with all the Katrina transplants.

Agree. They found better running outside where Singletary did better. Also may be some element of focusing against run w/Pierce in, nut can't say for sure until watch broadcast later.

I’m. Saints fan, and I like to think I’m very objective in most cases. As someone who watches every game, Carr is above average to a good quarterback. He isn’t the problem. There are 2 major problems……..Pete Carmichael and the OL.

this is how a lot of raider fans used to sound.

Personally I think he's the worst kind of QB. Good enough to keep the team competitive but never good enough for a playoff run. Always drafting mid round. NFL purgatory if you will.

To this point I’d say above average is fair, but I’m becoming less confident each week that he’s a Super Bowl QB. He puts up stats but makes a lot of off target throws. OL and OC aren’t good. I’ve heard that this next QB class is one of the deepest ever, and having Carr around is the perfect cover to draft one and let him carry a clipboard for a year

The Saints can cut Carr after the 2024 season and recoup $28 million against the cap. So that timing would be perfect.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Saints OL is problematic.

Gotta be impressed with the job DeMeco Ryans is doing. Def in the conversation for Coach of the Year.

 

[Statorama]

Curious to see if the Taysom surge is a trend or a blip. His history suggests blip, but I like what I’ve seen the past two weeks
