Our offense vs. their defense: Green Bay Packers

The Saints offense has shown flashes of what they can be, but they have to get more consistent.

The New Orleans Saints are off to a 2-0 start behind back-to-back stellar performances from their defense. Derek Carr and the offense have yet to fully click for an entire game, but they’ve shown flashes of what this offense can become if they can put it all together.

This weekend, the Saints travel to Lambeau to take on the Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers. The Packers opened up their season by stifling the Bears offense, but last week, their defense...

2 takeaways from the Saints win over the Panthers

New Orleans secures a 2-0 start on Monday Night Football.

1. The offense will improve with time

The New Orleans Saints offense got off to a slow start through the first six quarters of the season, scoring just one touchdown and settling for five field goals. Once the second half of the game on Monday came, we saw a glimpse of what the offense could be as two of the Saints final three drives ended in a touchdown, while the third was simply derailed by a sack on 3rd and 2 in Carolina Panthers territory. They finally started to...
