  1. Koo deserves a ton of credit, but also can’t ignore how big of an add Mooney has been. He’s our sole downfield threat.

  2. Survived and got the W thanks to koo and defense.

    Still don’t understand why they used that zone defense in the last 8 or so minutes of the game. It doesn’t really benefit the way the defense plays via who we got out there at all.

    And 3 targets to Pitts? Both mccloud and Mooney got nearly 2 times that each.. at least try to involve the dude in the game plan and get something out of that I’ll advised #4 pick. I still think he is rare talent that hasn’t see his ceiling and he never will if they don’t give him opps.

  3. A win is a win, but that’s two games we won because the other team opted to not take the easy points.

  4. matty ice going into the ring of honor thursday night against the succaneers , gotta show out for da big dawg

  5. I took my golden retriever Cookie for a walk with four minutes left. I also walked her every time Will Smith pitched in the 2021 World Series when he didn’t give up any runs. Maybe I need to walk Cookie more often 🙂

    I was at the game in January with my Dad where the Aints ran up the score; this is a sweet victory!

    RISE UP!!

  6. A win is a win but can we talk about the horrible play calling after that DPI that put us right there in field goal range? Why not get a chunk play or 2 rather than throwing 3 straight mid to deep passes, 2 of which could’ve been picked off?

  7. Our generational TE is less of an offensive contributor than Ray-Ray McCloud and our generational RB got outplayed by the guy he was drafted to replace.

  8. Offense is still a big question mark, but anyone who thinks it looks like last year is insane. Kirk still trying to do too much at times, nonsensical play calling, Pitts/London not doing enough. That said, defense stepped up big in the second half and as long as we keep it close we always have a chance with Koo.

    Imo the game wouldn’t have even been in reach for the Saints without that Charmin soft holding call on what was a Bijan TD. Yeah it was routine holding that happens every snap on both sides, but it didn’t impact the play. That dude wasn’t getting to him. Completely arbitrary refball, but what can you do? A win is a win. FTS

  9. Our offense is basically run outside if Bijan is in, up the middle with Allgeier in, and attempt a WR screen of some sort that doesn’t ever work, and chunk it comically over everyone’s head a few times just for “balance”

  10. FTS…. Only 3 NFL teams have ever lost scoring 24+ points and giving up 0 passing or rushing TDs 1983 Saints, 1981 Giants, 2024 Saints

  11. koo bailing cousins out. its time to go with penix, cousins has cost us 2 games and nearly a third

    downvote me if you think i’m right
