Bill wont be a happy man ⌠2 big fumbles last night - Harrisâ one ending the game as the Pats were on the march to win the game.
Mac Jones did well for his first game - decent pocket awareness - and made some good throws under pressure - bit of hesitation here and there which is to be expected.
The jury is still out on Tua - tho himself and Waddle look to have hit it off already. For everything he does well, thereâs a brain fart waiting to happen every few drives. He made some big throws on 3rd down tho and had some big plays that Bill wont be happy with.
Played together in college.
yeah signs were somewhat positive. but lots of work still left to do. Jones looked very composed for his first game in fairness to him. itâll be a mediocre year again I reckon, a 9-8 type job. Was about to say 8-8 but sure we have the extra game this year.
The D will be purring in a few weeks⌠We only saw glimpses of Henry/Smith⌠Weâll unleash them and murder every bastard in our way soon⌠Lot of run last night to ease Mac in⌠but the Dolphins are a good team and but for a stupid fumble there should be a W on the board playing only ok.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. â The next time the New Orleans Saints play, it might be a good idea to grab a roster for a quick refresher. They might have won the award for best performance from guys whose names youâve probably never heard and guys whose names havenât been heard in a long time.
Chris Hogan caught a touchdown pass despite being out of football and playing pro lacrosse earlier in the summer. Kwon Alexander started off the game with two key tackles despite being less than nine months removed from a torn Achilles. Juwan Johnson, who converted from wide receiver to tight end just months ago, had two touchdown receptions.
Rookie Paulson Adebo, who acknowledged that he was feeling the nerves after not playing a game since last October, picked off an Aaron Rodgers pass after being thrust into a starting role because of injuries. Christian Ringo and Malcolm Roach, who had a combined zero starts between them, were the replacements for Malcom Brown (traded in the offseason) and David Onyemata (suspended). Second-year player Cesar Ruiz, who didnât take a snap at center during camp, had to shift there from guard after Erik McCoy left with an injury.
All of those things show just how improbable the Saintsâ 38-3 win against the Packers was in a game that was moved to TIAA Bank Field after the Saints were displaced from New Orleans two weeks ago by Hurricane Ida.
The Saints, who have been training in Texas since Aug. 29, had every excuse not to win this game, but as Alvin Kamara bluntly put it: âNobody gives a shit.â
Said Saints coach Sean Payton: âReally, honestly, I mean this with all due respect, but nobody cares.â
While almost every media outlet was picking the Packers to win, the Saints were quietly assembling a game plan far away from New Orleans at TCUâs training facility. And the Saints didnât just upend those predictions â they thoroughly dominated thanks to five touchdown passes by Jameis Winston, the replacement for longtime quarterback Drew Brees, and a smothering defensive performance that limited Rodgers to 133 yards, produced interceptions by Adebo and Marcus Williams and left the Packers star with a 36.8 quarterback rating.
The Packers clearly threw in the towel when Jordan Love replaced Rodgers with 10:44 left in the game. The Saints, meanwhile, were busy dancing to âStand Up and Get Krunk,â with everyone from cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson to first-round pick Payton Turner, who was inactive, feeling loose on the sideline.
The Saints were so in control of the game that Packers coach Matt LaFleur called his teamâs performance âhumblingâ and embarrassing.
The Saints werenât going to go around boasting this summer, certainly not with so many questions to be answered at quarterback, on the defense and everywhere in between. But they did try to point out over and over how close they were becoming as a team. Watch practice during camp and the subtle signs were there, right down to the elaborate handshakes all of the defensive players seemed to have with each other.
But there were other signs, too, such as Marcus Davenportâs strong camp that had his teammates and coaches insisting things were finally coming together for the fourth-year veteran. Although Davenport appeared to leave the game early, his quick start was a reflection of his preseason, and he not only snuffed out a run on the first drive for a loss to set the tone but also had a crushing sack on Rodgers for a 10-yard loss that torpedoed the Packersâ drive to start the second quarter. The Saints were almost maniacal about emphasizing takeaways, and back-to-back interceptions halted any potential comeback in the third quarter.
And a large portion of this was done without star cornerback Marshon Lattimore, who was downgraded to questionable before the game with a knee injury and started anyway before injuring his thumb and re-emerging with a cast on his hand. That left things up to Adebo and recently signed corner Desmond Trufant, who hasnât started a full season since 2018.
Lattimore eventually came back in, but it was a wild day for the corner, who agreed to a new extension Sunday that can pay him up to $100 million and now could be out for some time, as he reportedly needs surgery on his thumb, according to Pro Football Talk.
Lattimore didnât seem too concerned as he broadcast on his Instagram Live account from the plane after the game, noting that he had âhis feet kicked upâ and thanking his fans.
âOne hundred million dollars,â he said. âCanât believe it, you know where I come from.â
The Saints have thoroughly checked the boxes on the field with help coming soon in the form of cornerback Bradley Roby, who will join the team next week after a trade from the Texans. Off the field, the Saints are headed back to their temporary home in Fort Worth, Texas, with questions still lingering about what their next few weeks will look like.
For now, theyâll celebrate a win like few others, with the hope that it brings some smiles to their fans, wherever they happen to be right now.
âEven though weâre not back at home, our heart is with our family and friends back in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast region. Our prayers are there, our support is there,â said linebacker Demario Davis. âCertainly, going into this game, we knew it meant a lot not just to us, but it meant a lot to the city. We even talked about, as captains, that we knew that even though some people donât have power, theyâre going to find a way to watch the Saints, and thatâs just what this team means to the city. And the city means the same to us. Weâre one. Certainly, being able to have a statement game like we had today, which kind of revives hope in adverse times, and weâre always going to push through. Weâre always going to be resilient, and weâre going to get to the other side, and this is representation of that.â
Said Johnson: âWe all love everybody in New Orleans, and that game is for them. ⌠This is the strongest city Iâve ever seen.â
