News: Looking at the New Orleans game, stats

[CCBoy]

Looking at the New Orleans game, stats:

Weeden hasn't been all that bad, completing 76.3 percent of his passes (45-of-59) for 551 yards and a pair of scores against one pick this season. His quarterback rating of 108.8 currently ranks sixth behind Aaron Rodgers, Andy Dalton, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger and Marcus Mariota (Brees is 16th at 94.9).

Weeden finished 16-of-26 for 246 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Saints, and that's without All-Pro wide receiver Dez Bryant in the lineup. That's good enough to win on some Sundays. Running backs Darren McFadden and Joseph Randle didn't do him any favors, rushing for an average of 2.7 yards on 21 carries in defeat. And the Dallas defense allowed 438 total yards of offense for the second straight week.

We couldn't run, we couldn't guard.. Crazy this team would be 4-0 with Romo in the lineup

New England gives up the 4th most fantasy points to the QB position.

The offense is not as good as last year
Though that is to be expected with Romo and dez out
But that's only half the picture
The defense is not creating turnovers and that's what made the defense work last year
We need at least one side clicking to win and that's the real issue

Also be 4-0 with good defense the last two weeks. I'm not gonna blame a backup QB when the same damn side of the ball kills us year after year

The defense isn't that different at this point than it was last year. It was just masked by the play of the offense able to control the ball and the turnovers the defense was able to get.

Hopefully, adding Rolando, Hardy and Gregory to the mix will change that. Right now, we're not much "rushmen" without them and this scheme is built around being able to create pressure.

Did I blame the back up QB? No.
