Saint's always have one or two games a year where the offense as a whole just shits the bed, hurts more when it's against Atlanta.Saints Falcons was a combo of Saints o-line not showing up and every momentum first down penalty going to Atl
Credit their DL though, they showed up
I think Brees is in decline and Peyton knows this and has for a long time. I think that's why Bridgewater is there in the first place, to audition for the replacement role. Bridgewater more or less proved that Brees is not essential to their success. But yeah the brainfart is real for the Aints, though it normally only happens on the road. Were I a New Orleans fan I would be more concerned about the fact that that dumpster fire happened at home, especially against a team they are normally massively motivated to beat.

What is insane is these outliers like Saints loss to Falcons.
You have to attribute that to simply a poor game by the Saints. I dont think anyone truly thinks the Saints are worse than Atlanta in any way, or they are now on a downward trajectory. It was just a bad game.
If he meshes well they will have one of the best receiving cores in the league. I hope it pushes the Seahawks into a more pass focused team and stop wasting Wilson trying to run behind that shit Oline.I'm excited to see how Wilson and Gordon work out, kind of a wild card thing tonight but over time that could make for a seriously good tandem.
