It doesn’t get much better than the game Thursday night. Two Big-Time QB’s showing up and putting on a dominating display showing that when two QB’s are on their game they are nearly unstoppable. The game ended up coming down to an early Saints turnover but more than that their inability to convert in short yardage situations. What else did we learn?
How are the teams without All-Star QB’s supposed to compete when you have to face offences like that?
Grant or Starks? Grant opened the game with most the carriers but as the game wore on it looked like Starks was the feature back. He displayed good power after first contract and was trusted by the coaching staff in passing situations. Starks has the early edge.
Are the Saints really tougher? They switched their Center this offseason an added two massive Defensive Tackles. What did it all mean? The Saints lost in the short yardage battles. Twice unable to convert on offense in situations where they needed only 1 yard. On defense the Packers had no issues with grinding out positive gains by running up the gut and it even produced a short yardage TD.
Big Time Injury – The Saints top WR Colston is reportedly lost for 4 weeks with a broken collarbone. A huge loss or someting the Saints can overcome? While the Saints may be better than any team at spreading the ball around they can’t afford to slip up at all in what will be a tight division race with Atlanta, especially since they are already 0 and One.
