The difference is the lack of sacks and the lack of turnovers.   But, I'll say this... that 'patchwork' OL, is actually a better OL than Wentz had in front of him for the entire season.   These guys are more seasoned now and have learned a little about playing together as a unit recently.     But, Hurts has been good, not great, but good.

The removal of peters was a significant improvement

saints were also mush rushing first half. Less so now

And here's where punchable face Payton makes his adjustments and takes Gym Shortz to school in the 2nd half.  Saints are starting to roll.

Thanks, Jake, for missing that momentum building FG at the end of the half.

Thanks, Doug, for being obvious as Hell on a 4th down QB sneak.  Might as well have sent them a telegram letting them know what the play was, because they were expecting and ready for it.

Unless someone on O or D pulls a big game changing play out of their arse then this game is slipping away at this point.

 

Sanders already did that.   I don't see that happening again.

Their entire secondary is out with injuries...

Exactly and he leaves god knows who on an island 

Reagor appears to have been replaced by Watkins.  I assume he's hurt yet again.

Howie Long finally spoke out about it recently saying it’s not just bad luck. They’re doing something in the offseason that is negatively impacting the season

The light non-contact practices that lack intensity and help to get the players into actual game shape?

I want to see them ask Hurts to pass his way out of this.  No runs, no screens short of the sticks.  Read the defense and make a throw.  

They’re still trying to win

Yup.   Never should have added him.  Should have rolled with youth and let them grow into the job.   And bouncing him around was a terrible decision... made continuity impossible.

How many broadcasters is that now that’s mentioned how Doug refused to run the ball?

Don't count on it.  We can't really judge anything by these personnel rotations.

Yeah, that's our 1 that we get what?  Every 3rd or 4th game?

All of them?

The best development of this year is that mailata can play LT

Same play as the one to start the game there.   

Reagor back in the huddle.

Can they please let Hurts be a QB?

The thing we ALL should feel good about is how fast Hurts is processing the information out there.

Yes, they have the training wheels on a bit more than I’d like, but he seems to have it between the ears. 

Thankfully that guy has stone hands cause that should’ve been picked. 

Nearly a pick 6 there.

Nothing. Gas tank is empty.

I want 8 or fewer runs from Hurts next week.  Let the guy be a QB.

Nice punt by Johnston.   He killed it himself at the 5.

Easier to do that when not playing the Saints.

That is a lovely punt there

anyone think we are winning this game now?
