- Saints driving early. Good mix of run and pass. One thing they have done well when they have played well is be balanced.
- The Taysom Hill package makes this New Orleans offense so tough to defend. You go from a pro-style passer to a dual threat running quarterback.
- Bentley on the sack. Came on an inside blitz. 9 yard sack. Patriots needed that.
Saints 0 Patriots 0 10:21 1st Quarter
- Patriots first possession will start on their 6 yard line. They need a good drive to start this game. It would be nice to play from ahead for once.
- Eight yard run goes for not. Two misses for Mac and the Patriots are forced to punt.
- Low snap there by Cardona impacted the punt by Beringer.
Saints 0 Patriots 0 9:25 1st Quarter
- Alvin Kamara a big part of the Saints plan as always.
- Carr’s pass to Graham was behind him. Patriots D gets another stop. Defense has bent but not broken thus far. Patriots second possession coming up.
Saints 0 Patriots 0 7:49 1st Quarter
- WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT???? Mathieu with the 27 yard interception return for the touchdown. Mac is still locked in on the pass rush and you saw it there.
Saints 7 Patriots 0 7:02 1st Quarter
- Offense just cannot get on track. Passing game is all out of sorts. Can’t complete anything right now.
- On cue by Pop Douglas. Makes a spectacular catch and the Patriots get the 15 yard penalty to boot. PLAY STANDS AFTER REVIEW
- Drive stalls. Ryland attempts 48 yard field goal and MISSES. Typical of this season.
Saints 7 Patriots 0 3:39 1st Quarter
- Great job by Carr of improvising on 3rd & 11 results in a Saints first down.
- Another great touch pass by Carr this time to Shaheed for a 32 yard completion. Saints set up inside the 10.
Saints 7 Patriots o: END of 1st- Mac’s pick six interception the story in the first quarter. Offensive woes continue so far.
- 2 yard touchdown run by Kamara on 3rd & 2. Score now 14-0 New Orleans and the Patriots are once again in another hole.
Saints 14 Patriots 0 14:23 2nd Quarter
- Another 3 and out by the way. The defense is playing way too many snaps and it is starting to show. Billy O and the offensive staff need to figure out something on offense and fast.
Saints 14 Patriots 0
- Miller’s long completion put of the back field is further proof this defense is gassed.
- Carr to Olave from 5 yards out and now the Saints are pouring it on. 21-0 Saints. Admittedly, did not see this coming. I thought they would come to play after last week.
Saints 21 Patriots 0
- I don’t think even the most ardent critics of this team last week could have predicted this. Awful start and quite frankly, it is a talent thing. I don’t think they came out flat.
- DEMARIO DOUGLAS QUESTIONABLE TO RETURN.
- Fans are calling for a tank and yard sale. Haven’t heard that around these parts since I was in high. I’m 48.
Saints 21 Patriots 0 6:44 2nd Quarter
- Really like Kendre Miller. Liked him coming out of TCU. Good size and he has plus hands and is good in pass pro.
Saints 21 Patriots 0: Two-Minute Warning, 2nd Quarter
- Patriots force punt. Not quite sure why Belichick opted not to take a timeout before third down?
- 204-64 Total Yardage so far in the first half. OOOOF.
- It’s a catch for Devante Parker. Patriots need to capitalize on this break.
- Adebo with a big penalty aids the Patriots drive.
- Annnnnd the drive stalls with a sack of Jones. Fools gold.
Saints 21 Patriots 0: AT THE HALF
Ugly half offensively. Patriots only mustered 76 total yards of offense. The offensive woes continue and there is no end in sight.
- Ugly start to the half. Stevenson fumbles on a 3rd and 1. Cam Jordan recovers. This is going from bad to worse.
- Blake Grupe with a 54 yard field goal for the Saints. 24-0 New Orleans with 11:34 left in the third quarter.
Saints 24 Patriots o 3rd Quarter
- Good start. Jones to Bourne for 28 yards.
- And the drive stalls. Down 24-0 you’d think Belichick might go for it. Opts to punt.
Saints 24 Patriots 0 3rd Quarter
- Defense once again gets a three and out. The offense has to pick it up here. They need a drive here or else you can kiss any thoughts of a comeback goodbye.
- Another three and out. I really don’t know how fix this????
- Both Ju-Ju Smith Schuster and Michael Onwenu ruled OUT with injuries.
Saints 24 Patriots o 3rd Quarter
- Zappe chants have started
- Montgomery tips a pass up in the air and the Saints pick. On point with today.
Saints 24 Patriots 0 END OF THE 3RD QTR
Ugly play continues. No rhythm on offense to speak of. Highlight of the quarter. Zappe chants have begun.
- Saints are piling it on now. Foster Moreau scores a 6 yard shuffle pass. 31-0 Saints.
- ZAPPE IS IN!!! I REPEAT…ZAPPE IS IN
Saints 24 Patriots 0 11:36 4th quarter
- Zappe goes three and out. Quarterback is not in the building folks. Sad reality. I hope I am wrong but I do not see that changing.
Saints 34 Patriots o 4th Quarter
- Grupe with a 53 yard field goal to add to the Saints lead. What a blowout.
Saints 34 Patriots 0 TWO-MINUTE WARNING
FINAL: SAINTS 34 PATRIOTS 0
The OLine is needs to hold blocks better. Unfortunately I think this is not going to get better as the season progresses. How could they could get by with what they have at OT?
It’s hard. No one will trade a starting caliber lineman right now.
Glad they took a place kicker in the 4th round…you had a reliable kicker in Folk, why not use that pick to try and improve a position of need?
Folk is 10 for 10 this season after going 32 of 37 last season. Couldn’t agree more!
I’d seriously trade anything of value now. Philips, peppers, Bourne, Elliot, Henry…you name the player…shop them all
And they just might if this keeps up. Most of the guys you mentioned are on the final year of their current deals.
Bottom line…as a great football coach I worked under one told me “sometimes it’s not about the Xs and Os but the Jimmys and Joes” the roster composition has plagued this team for 2-3 years. ZERO Dudes! No game changer
It is and unfortunately their Jimmy’s and Joe’s looked good on paper but not so much in reality.
Good to see the Saints undrafted rookie kicker hit a FG…no need to
Draft one…ever
They’re a lucky Aaron Rodgers injury and a dropped Hail Mary from being 0-5
