This could be a really ugly game with a 10-6 scoreline with the lone TD being a defensive return and the FG a result of a turnover in the redzone and still unable to punch it in. Less than 500 combined yards offensively is what i am going to predict, i hope i am wrong.

But the overall outlook is just different. It just feels different- Steichen appears to coach from a position of aggression and simple execution- put our guys in positions where all they have to do is their job and things are are going to be good. Frank always seemed to be trying to out think the opposition, overly complicating seemingly every damn snap and without question the route tree was far too dependent upon having 3.5 seconds of time in the pocket for routes to execute- and he's doing the same damn shit to Young in Carolina.

I am pretty sure that was a catch, and I think the reason it wasn't overturned is because the shit camera angles they had didn't show the other side of the ball and if it hit the ground or not. It shouldn't matter, since it never moved from his control, but I am guessing that if they had a shot from behind the QB, it would have been convincing.

The Saints are a pretty shitty team. I really thought the adversity response would be positive today but this team still has too many holes as well as a losing culture. If a comeback doesn't transpire I expect we will be looking at a high draft pick again. Silver lining I suppose. A win would obviously be huge for a potential playoff drive. This just feels like such a pivotal game to me.

I hate to say it, but boy does Leonard looks like JAG out there.

And as bad as the defense has looked today, and they've looked bad, the turnovers by the Colts are so much worse.

Here's the problem, they have two of the three worst teams in the league in the next two games. They could well be 5-5 after the Patriots game, which doesn't lead to a playoff spot, or to a high draft pick.

Bottlenecks usually happen at the top of the bottle. When you have a shitty owner like Irsay who refuses to make the tough decisions at critical junctures you end up in hell for extended periods. Bad coaches and bad GMs left to fester have devastating consequences.

We only turned the ball over once today, but it was a huge turnover ...... we had at least a long field goal in our pocket, maybe even a touchdown, and a pressured Minshew threw a deep pass to a Saints defender on the 1-yardline.

Instead of going up 23-21 or 28-21, the Saints got the ball and quickly turned it into a TD of their own to go up 28-20.

Will Levis threw 4TDs today in his debut....sorry to pound my own chest on this one but I was hammered for suggesting we draft him. I'm glad we got AR and he may well end up being the best choice, but Levis can play and now every team in the South has a young QB with hopefully long futures in the league! We should be in for some great competitive football within our division for the next decade!

I agree, but Lawrence is established and looks pretty good to me, Stroud looks good so far, we saw AR and if he can stay healthy he's very good, and now Levis gets his chance and looks great!
