Saints finna romp

Unless these Panthers game stats mysteriously reappear:

The Panthers had 6 first downs by penalty and the Saints had 1.

Saints 11 penalties for 115 yards. Panthers 5 penalties for 49 yards.

An opponent getting 6 first downs by penalty keeps their scoring drives alive negating a good defense.

This is a game where the Giants have no business being competitive on paper.

Which means we will be in trouble.

I follow the rule not to bet on your team or the team you root for, this week and spread is the ultimate test for me.

So basically, their WR’s are just a little better than ours now?

exactly

although Golladay and Engram>>>>>>anyone we're trotting out there

People generally blame coaches for penalties because establishing and maintaining discipline is the coach’s job. We were missing 8 of them that week, so I suspect we’ll be OK

The Saints have had all their coaches when this happened in the past:

2019 sample stats:

In the first four games following the Saints bye, the Saints opponents have 21 first downs by penalty.

The Saints have 2 first downs by penalty.

Saints opponents in this four game stretch have committed 21 penalties for 146 yards.

In contrast, the Saints have committed 42 penalties for 410 yards.

Of the 23 first downs awarded by penalty in the Saints first four games since the bye, Saints opponents have 91.3% of the first downs awarded by penalty.

In contrast, the Saints have been awarded only 8.7% of the first downs by penalty.

-----------------------

2017 stats: TEAMRANKINGS

Saints were last in first downs by penalty and the Patriots were first in getting first downs by penalty.

2019 stats:

The Saints were 2nd to last in getting 1st downs by penalty.

The Chiefs were first in getting first downs by penalty.

------------------------

Undisciplined teams do not achieve this:

2020 12-4

2019 13-3

2018 13-3

2017 11-5

The Saints have won four consecutive division titles.

The Saints are at the top of the league for regular season total victories for the four year period.

The Saints would be even more productive except for these type of penalty stats that have occurred over the last four years.

Typically my rule as well but I did take the Saints in my survivor pool

---

Thought about doing that this week. My strategy right now in my pool is pick whoever is playing the jets and its been solid

With Kenny Golladay banged up but not ruled out they are down to bare bones. From their depth chart they still have 3 backups beside Golladay. Saquon Barkley also isn't 100 %

Jones just threw for his career high in yds
