Watched every Bortles play yesterday and then flipped on the Saints game to watch Brees directly after. What a difference. I think that 4th and 7 sideline pass to Kamara was as high percentage of a play for Brees as a 5 yard slant on 3rd and 8 is for Bortles.
Speaking of having a blast, The Ringer blog offered this in their weekly winners/losers column:
Winner: The Saints’ Unnecessary Scores
The Saints are growing dissatisfied with the competition. They haven’t lost since Week 1, and nobody has come within 10 points of New Orleans in nearly a month. It’s gotta be boring, trouncing the supposed best teams in the world week after week.
Sunday could have been a challenge for them. They were playing the Eagles, a team that I’m told won last year’s Super Bowl. If that’s true, it must have been a different team, because this year’s Eagles were no match for New Orleans. (Maybe they changed quarterbacks or something since winning the Super Bowl? I don’t know.) The score was 24-7 at halftime, and it got worse from there. Carson Wentz threw three interceptions and no touchdowns; Drew Brees threw four touchdowns and no interceptions.
This had to have been disappointing to the Saints. All they want to do is play 60 minutes of football, but they can’t find a team capable of playing them close enough. In the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game, the Saints faced a fourth-and-6 up 38-7. Most teams would punt out of politeness. But the Saints are getting tired of being polite. So Brees threw a 37-yard touchdown to Alvin Kamara.
According to Pro-Football-Reference’s Game Play Finder, which tracks games dating back to 1994, there have been six touchdowns scored on fourth down by teams leading by 30 points or more. Two of those touchdowns have been scored by this year’s Saints in the last two weeks. In addition to this week’s score, Drew Brees ran a QB sneak on fourth down last week when New Orleans was up 38-7 against the Bengals. The first five touchdowns scored on fourth down by teams leading by 30 were all done near the goal line. The Saints are the first team since at least 1994 to launch such an extravagant fourth-down play while winning by so much. To be fair, the Saints get more of these chances than anybody else: They’ve already tied the record for 40-point games in a single season. They’re the NFL’s kings of running up the score.
Some might think it’s unclassy for the Saints to score touchdowns in such an uncouth manner, but I feel for New Orleans. It’s not their fault that no team in the league is capable of playing them close for 60 minutes. They just wanna keep playing football, and nobody in the league right now is good enough to force them to do it.
Saints/Rams II would/will be a classic as well. Pitt should be able to throw down on offense with KC in the playoffs. Cant ever say never on Brady going off like Mahomes did.
It’ll all come down to defense in the playoffs though, right? Thats why its so tough for me to count out the Bears. They remind me of 2017 Jacksonville a little bit but with a better QB (although Trubiski kinda stunk at the beginning of this season).
Do RBs like Gurley, Hunt, and Connor run out of steam? The other teams are much deeper with Kamara/Ingram, Howard/Cohen, White/Michel.
Also, how bout them Cowboys? If we end up finishing 5-1 (only proj loss would be Saints) then things would be rolling right. Our defense is very underrated, cant sleep on the DLine and LBs.
The thing that sucks about the Rams win last night is that they now only have five games remaining and all but one look like a cake walk. Unless the Bears can beat the Rams at home on Dec 9th, the Saints will have to run the table and finish 15-1 to get Dome field advantage.
I personally feel like the next three games should be wins (Atlanta, @dallas, @tampa Bay). It's going to come down to can they beat Carolina twice and the Steelers at home.

Playoffs are about to be crazy, maybe the best ever. Saints, Bears, Rams, Chargers, Pats, Chiefs, Steelers. Any team but Rams and Pats winning is fine by me, but even if the games are good, it'd be fine.

Yeah. That’s been my concern since early in the season. Would it take 14-2 or even 15-1 to take the NFC. That’s unheard of.
Not writing off the Pats, but the oddsmakers have them fifth in the NFL and third in the AFC currently.
No one can. They’ve been in the AFC Championship like 8 times in a row right? They are as good of a Super Bowl bet as there is every year. I think we could be in the Super Bowl but it’s gonna have to be the 2 where it’s maybe 50/50 or the 1 where it would be like 85% imho

I think of the pats get home field it'll be pretty hard to beat us in the playoffs. We have the head to head with the chiefs and have to still play the Steelers but if we win that game too then we should be fine. For Tom's sake I hope we make it this year
Who dat? Who dat? Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints? Who dat?
Who dat?
Atlanta, it's your turn again. I hope we destroy and bury your asses for the season, but I know it's not likely going down that way. The underdog is a recent 8-2 in the series against the spread, and any NFC South Divisional Game is just as liable to come down to a FG as it will be a blowout. I want the blowout, but it's hard to guess whether we can stomp on a wounded, rabid animal. I would avoid the bet since the Saints are a recent 5-0 vs. the spread and there's no way I'd spot 13 points in a divisional game against the Falcons. It's more likely that this is going to be 30-24 or 31-27 or something like that. Hopefully it's just another day of clowning and we end up winning 45-10 or something close to that. Either way, I like the Saints to win and the Falcons to be virtually eliminated from the playoffs at 4-7. I like Dan Quinn enough, but I hate the Falcons. So I'd like to see him get fired and the team having to start all over again from the bottom.
