A bad week for our NFC South rivals

If you're looking for the silver lining, here it is:

The Saints are on the road, going to Dallas. The Cowboys definitely aren't slouches this year, and their defense is better than expected. Their offense is excellent, per usual, and they'll be going up against a Saints defense on that is terrible on the road. I truly believe the Cowboys will win this game. 

As for Atlanta, they're traveling to Minnesota. They're playing a Vikings team that is now led by Teddy Bridgewater, who looked 100 times better than Cassel did vs. the Saints (He almost won on the road against the Saints, btw). I think Asiata gives the Falcons front seven a lot of trouble, while Bridgewater throws some quick dump-off passes to tire out a mediocre Atlanta defense.

So if both of our rivals lose, that'll put the Saints at 1-3, and the Falcons at 2-2. A win in Baltimore and we're one game ahead. A loss in Baltimore, and we'd still be tied.

I don't see the Saints or Falcons losing. I don't think you realize just how bad Minnesota is

Minnesota with Teddy Bridgewater looked like a whole different animal. Saints defense is a lot better than Atlanta's, especially when they're under the dome. Bridgewater was dangerous with his feet and his passing was efficient.

Yeah I totally agree about Bridgewater, I thought he came in and did a nice job and showed good awareness all things considered. But they also just lost Rudolph, Norv loves his tight ends and so do young QB's. Hopefully the crowd will be into it being Teddy's first start and that can give them some momentum.

Last season the Cowboys travelled to the dome and I don't think they stopped Brees on a single possession. Their D hasn't gotten any better so I expect pretty much the same thing. We basically need to hope for Romo to have a fantastic game in order for them to win this one and I have zero faith in Romo.

    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
