But even if he returns, a loss like this ensures there will be some major changes coming to his coaching staff. I’ve stated a few times that I don’t think Dennis Allen gets fired after just one season.Alvin Kamara was a non-factor for most of the game.Brady thought Davis was playing man on the crossing route, but Davis passed it off and dropped right into the underneath zone where Brady was throwing it. DeMario Davis fooled Brady on his interception.Tough pill to swallow to finally win the turnover battle and lose the game.That side of the ball was magnificent until their final two drives of the game. The Saints defense has allowed 30 points in two games and somehow lost both of them.Shaheed also gave them some great field position in the return game. On a seperate third down, he broke off his dig route and cut back to the outside when he saw Dalton flush the pocket. He caught a bomb early in the game from Dalton. What a find Rashid Shaheed has become.The defender just lodged it loose as Hill went to the ground.Īll in all, Dalton had a great day, but like the rest of the team, couldn’t finish it out when they had the opportunity to do so. His third down throw to Hill on the Saints final offensive drive was even well-placed. His stat line would have been more impressive had there not been some of the drops described above. That touchdown was impressive as Dalton originally wanted a double move to his right then came all the way back to his left to find Taysom Hill all alone in the end zone. He finished 20/28 with 229 yards and a touchdown. Instead of a touchdown off a turnover, they settled for another field goal. It moved them back to 3rd & 7 which they were unable to convert. Somehow they let 12 men enter the huddle resulting in a massive penalty. They faced a 3rd & 2 from the 3-yard line. A touchdown there would have been a dagger to the Bucs, as the Saints got the ball back to start the second half.ģrd quarter- The Saints defense forced another takeaway, and the offense went right to work. The Saints had to settle for three to make it, 10-3. Dalton delivered a strike to Jarvis Landry, but Landry attempted to haul the pass in with one hand and couldn’t. Dennis Allen chose to punt the ball on fourth down instead of trying a 55-yard field goal.Ģnd quarter- Just a few plays after the Saints first takeaway in an eternity, the offense faced a 3rd & 2 from the Bucs’ 19. A connection there would have put the Saints near the red zone. Olave took his eyes off it too soon and dropped the pass. Let us count the multiple opportunities the Saints had to close the door on this game.Ģnd quarter- Andy Dalton threw a dime to Chris Olave on a corner route on 3rd & 8.
