    Next week will be a huge gut check for the defense. Lamar coming back, at home… I fully expect him to drop some major points on us. Next week is a huge test for Caleb, honestly. Can he keep up? Can’t have the game he had today and expect to win. Against even a battered Ravens team we’ll get blown out if Caleb repeats this game.

    This is meatbally of me but I love seeing this stuff. What a contrast to Eberflus.

    I think today we actually saw a significant impressive defensive effort vs an admittedly bad QB. Pressure was there, Sweat had a good game, Brisker was awesome on blitzes and the coverage, for the most part, was good. A couple bad lapses on those two good drives the Saints had, but overall I’m starting to believe the ball hawking is a real thing and not just luck. I also don’t super mind some of the penalties on defense because it’s from dudes trying real hard and being mean, which you need on defense

    I have to imagine Johnson is stressing him throwing rather than running on scramble plays - and maybe he even picked this game in particular to overcorrect because it’s such a weak opponent. But damn dude, he’s so much better when he’s picking up 2-3 first downs with his legs than throwing uncompetitive balls.

    The refs are really picking on Loveland early in his career, not exactly sure what it was. Caleb could have been helped out by some of his receivers making tough catches but IMO, I don’t remember any glaring drops. Most of those were contested catches with the DB draped all over them. Mostly, Caleb was just off target and panicked out of the pocket. Running circles around and I don’t know if he ever scrambled for yards, which he had several opportunities for. He was better, not great, in the pocket. Overall a pretty bad game, picked up by his defense and running game. He’s gotta be better. But he has the whole rest of the season to improve.

    He’s been really bad on broken plays today though I’m confident that progress is being made but it’s not linear

    Why is this offense STILL DOING THIS, AT HOME??
  8. BigSlick
    3rd and 20+ remains one of the worst downs for our defense
  9. BigSlick
    Ok that immediately punished us for not getting the pick there
  10. BigSlick
    Oh my god. Please god, let that not punish us later
  11. BigSlick
    Im going to die with the words “THROW THE BALL” on my lips
  12. BigSlick
    Caleb has been SO BAD on the run out of the pocket. What is going on there?
  13. BigSlick
    Thank god they didn’t throw another roughing penalty on that one. rattler got popped. get a TD here and ice this game
  14. BigSlick
    We’re probably (probably) gonna escape this one with a win, but we should be up by like 27+ and comfortable given how the games gone big step back from the last few weeks offensively
  15. BigSlick
    Rattler was unacceptably bad for the first like 5 drives and committed 2 turnovers i dont award a winner in that battle
  16. BigSlick
    The amount of offensive incompetence is simply unacceptable At home, no less
  17. BigSlick
    Uh well. No. They both have been bad
  18. BigSlick
    Can I see Caleb doing ANYTHING here. PLEASE?
  19. BigSlick
    Lmao are you gonna let them win? Dont let them win
  20. BigSlick
    Oh my god they’re 100% going to score a TD
  21. BigSlick
    I’d love to see a holding call ever called on the Saints OLine?
  22. BigSlick
    Bears certainly have the capacity to lose this. really bad to give that up here
  23. BigSlick
    Caleb just needs to run on some of these plays when he breaks out of the pocket
  24. BigSlick
    I don’t know what Caleb is doing out there bad game so far
  25. BigSlick
    This is a good “take out the trash” game. Too bad a pretty blah game for Caleb. With any luck nothing too huge happens from here on out. huge game for the defense so far
