Competitive, not clean — again. Saints slip to 0–2

Competitive, not clean — again. The Saints fell 26–21 to SF, but the tape shows real progress and the same fatal flaw.
What stood out
Rattler’s best game as a pro: 25/34, 207, 3 TD, 118.1 with 14 straight completions. Operated the offense, used his legs on key 3rds… but missed a wide-open Olave early (ball behind) that likely flips the script.
Kamara = heartbeat: 21 for 99 (4.7) + 6 for 21. Keep leaning on AK and get Kendre Miller more touches.
Money downs lost: 49ers went 8/15 on 3rd, including multiple 3rd-and-longs and two via penalty. That’s the game.
Pass rush has juice: Carl Granderson 2.0 sacks, Rumph strip-sack. Rookie Kelvin Banks held his own vs Bosa in Game 2.
Secondary decisions coming: Isaac Yiadom struggled/flagged; protect the 2026 comp pick and get Quincy Riley reps if it continues. Jonas Sanker (8 tackles) looked ready in Blackmon’s place.
ST + Ops: Blake Grupe missed from 40; a “pooch” punt netted 21. Fewer penalties (7 for 45), but ill-timed. Footing issues popped up again.
Bottom line: The identity’s forming (QB growth, AK usage, front-seven punch). Flip third down and these “close” losses become wins.
What’s next (at SEA): Darnold + play-action are back, JSN/Kupp are volume movers, and Kenneth Walker punishes edges late. Win 3rd down on both sides and clean the operation.
Full recap

I was worried with all of SF's injuries we might actually get an unfortunate victory. Luckily our defense shite their pants against Mac fricking Jones 
Who dat said Mac Jones gon beat Mickey's Aints!! Just keep stacking high draft picks, year after year, until we eventually hit on a coach and qb.

I'm on to Mateer now. Both are likely better than what we have now.

nice presentation on write ups.
Clean, simple, good info and context. Very digestible in today's feeble attention span. I like the stock watch part too. Maybe break out the stock watch underneath each offense and defense write up section separating the offense and defensive and special team players.

Appreciate the thoughtful feedback. I introduced the Stock Watch in my third training camp article and really liked it so I’m glad it resonated. I’ll look at separating it into offense/defense/special teams to make it easier to digest. I’m slowly carving out more time for the Facebook page and website and plan to add in-depth tape breakdowns soon, plus short pre- and postgame videos. Just building it all up slowly since it's just a hobby for now. Thanks for reading and keeping me sharp. Who Dat.
