Bucs D actually looked decent most of the game. Obviously the offense will take a minute to gel so I'm not worried yet. Saints are probably the best team in the NFC so not the best team to start against. If the Bucs look like poo poo against Carolina I'll be concerned.

Good win Saints.

This is the truth. It was a good game and I’m glad we didn’t waste a home game without fans.

It was a really sloppy game on both sides. I'd say its because of the lack of preseason but both teams were sloppy last year too so who knows.

Now I do not know whether I was then a head coach dreaming I was a Saints fan, or whether I am now a Saints fan, dreaming I am a head coach.
That extension is probably also how they got the cash for Kamara.

He dropped like every punt on the 10 yard line. Automatic. Far enough in that they had to catch it, and not risk it bouncing.

I'd like to take another look at them, but man the DPIs in the game were ticky tack from what I remember. I think the deep one was just two players hand fighting. Neither player grabbed the other. Evans had an arm brace but never extended. Looked clean to me? Lattimore didn't turn his head, if I remember?

I dunno maybe someone has a vid or gif of it that I haven't seen.

The DPI calls on both teams were really bad for the most part. I know it's the first game of the season and refs are human but at this point the only thing I can think of is making it just 15 yards instead of a spot foul. No penalty should be worth 50 yards especially if there isn't going to be a rhyme or reason for ticky tack calls.

This could be bias from seeing so many dpis committed by the saints but i hate the spot foul for dpi. Failed deep balls giving the offense the ball in the Redzone is dumb. Like if PI wasn't such a shitshow of a call itd be a lot easier to deal with sudden "oh ok you get to just flip the field now despite basically just making a hail mary.

I also hate the fumble in the end zone becoming a touch back rule too.

Yeah, it's 15 in college, and rarely is it an outrage that it's not more.

But the NFL resists college rules fiercely, as you can see from its refusal to adopt the vastly superior college overtime rules.

The problem with 15 yards is it makes tackling a receiver who you know is going to beat you objectively the correct choice.

Whether you care about that is another matter

I would rather that happen every time than a team being bailed out and getting into the red zone on a questionable PI call.

It was Moore. How you get an unsportsmanlike conduct for taunting on a throw you didn't catch is beyond me.

You guys concerned with Brees? He didn't seem great. I thought Sanders would've been more involved too, he could be a huge weapon.

Similar feelings that you likely have to brady. Waiting to see if next game proves it was rust/bucs front 7 or brees being cooked. He looked like poo poo early but he did look better as the game went on.

Depends on the next couple of weeks. Payton said he called a lovely game so I’m willing to wait and see. That one 46 yard pass to Cook was nice, but they overused Kamara to the point that it was getting ridiculous.

It couldn't be more obvious to the rest of the league at this point that they don't trust Brees to throw deep.

He wasn't really taunting. He and the corner started jawing at each other and Moore basically pushed him away with a really aggressive helmet poke. It was stupid and definitely penalty worthy but not really taunting.
