The Dolphins are the only easy out in the NFL. All other teams are dangerous definitely including the Bucs.

Tampa has always had an offense that was a sleeping giant ever since they put their skill players together. If they have any problems, its their offensive line, in which we can take advantage of to get to Winston.

They have the tools to beat anyone, just as displayed last week against the Rams. What did they do that we couldn't do besides get less calls called against us?

They are hot, and if we beat them, it will have to play A1 defense to get to the QB. If the Bucs cant get this to work, it means that its the play calling as well.

The Bengals seem like an easy out as well

Any team with an explosive offense is a bad matchup for the Saints until Brees is back.

We matchup much better against the plodder teams like Dallas.

Watching freakin Mason Rudolph toss bombs down the field while Teddy Checkdown can't complete a pass over 5 yards is so frustrating.

Winston quickly can become Cam Newton if we get pressure. Thats the key.

Is Mason 2-0?

The hope is Bridgewater gets more and more comfortable and the offense evolves from that with him under center.

Dallas D front seven (especially that LB group) is probably the best the Saints will face along with Chicago's D. I'm just glad the game in Chicago is before it gets really cold up there.

Other than that, I expect much better offensive performances going forward until Brees gets back and that should be enough to keep the Saints in most games.

If nothing else, the more methodical offense actually stands to benefit the Saints D which was able to match Dallas on that side of the ball.

I'm glad the Bucs are trending up and coming in hot. Just means Saints won't overlook them like in years past and let a crappy Bucs team stick around/beat us.

We are 2-0 due to excellent defense and special teams. Let's not try to pretend that Teddy is a reason for the 2-0 record.

Teddy offenses have scored 9, 21, 12.

Not good enough to beat Tampa imo

Luckily we're not playing the Cowboys D or @Seattle (with 2 offensive possessions gone due to TDs).

He needs to play better, but the team around him needs to step up and quit having so many penalties. I think we put up 28 this week

Lets be a little fair here. Against the Rams he was unexpectedly thrusted into the starting role unprepared. Seattle is a tough place to play especially in the rain. Brees hasn't been great at Seattle either. He did alright in Seattle. And Dallas' defense is the best we'll play all year. If Tampa scores 30 or more we'll probably lose, but I think they'll score somewhere in the 20s if not less. Tampa is the weakest team he'll play so far. Think he'll be able to do more this game. Just need the o-line to get their shite together.

It's not even a trap game. It's a game that the Bucs could win just like they beat the LA Rams.

We'll see. It will be a tough game, I'm certain of that.

Look, I know this is crazy to say after two awesome wins against teams no one expected us to beat, but I am worried about our ability to score points against a team that has what appears to be an extremely good offense.
