Why are people worried about the Saints?

Night game in the Super Dome, that's a very intimidating atmosphere. They just beat a very good Seahawks team in their own house. The Saints are not a team to be taken lightly.

Myself I haven't seen Seattle being very good so far., with a non existent rushing game.

Last year's offense left a lot of points on the field.

Drive1: 11 plays, 3pts. Dak sacked on 3rd and goal from the 5
Drive2: 3 and out. Dak sacked on 3rd and 6. (Zeke also lost 2 on 1st down)
Drive3: 9 plays. Zeke 16 yard TD catch. No penalties, no sacks.
Drive4: 2 plays. Cooper fumble on 2nd and 9.
Drive5: 15 plays (15!). 3pts. Dak sacked on 3rd and 7 from NO 19.
Drive6: 7 plays. Dak sacked on 1st and 10, leading to 3rd and 20.
Drive7: 3 plays. Holding on 2nd and 5 by XSF. Couldn't convert 3rd 13.
Drive8: 15 plays. Dak sacked and fumbled on 3rd and 5 from NO 6.
Drive9: Kneel Downs after Jourdan Lewis's game-sealing/saving pick.

So on the drives where there was no holding, no fumbles and no sacks, they scored a TD.

The OL so far is playing much better this year. New Orleans didn't get any sacks on Wilson (who usually takes sacks). They sacked Goff 3x last week (LAR's interior OL isn't what it was last year). And in week1, they destroyed Watson sacking him 6 times (Houston's OL is atrocious).

New Orleans will no doubt attack Connor Wiiliams and make the left middle of the OL work to protect Dak. Hopefully Moore has some quick hitters to disrupt the pressure, be it draws, crossers and slants.

Take away every short to intermediate route and dare Teddy B to not miss by a mile

"I guess I don't misunderstood what the term "kicked their butts" means."


And to think, English is my primary language...... :facepalm:

Sean Payton > Jason Garrett
He wasn't last year. Coaching only goes so far if you don't have the horses. Payton has a title but hasn't been back to the Super Bowl since. Give Garrett credit for what he's done last year and this year and stop comparing the teams based off of just the coach that is so lazy and requires no thought.

Okay, I can't tell you what you've seen. Saints win was Seahawks first loss but they haven't played anyone of substance either.

Saints went up to Seattle with their back up QB and beat Russell Wilson's Seahawks on offense, defense, and special teams.
