"Since week 2".......Gonna assume there's a reason you chose to eliminate 1 game of data. Who did they play week 1 and what was the result?
Don't try to create your own narrative.
I think the Saints were fortunate to play Green Bay week 1 and if they played them now they'd lose by double digits.
But I get it.
You know people say the same thing about us and the Cowboys. It's a terrible argument to make either way. The epitome of talking out of your ass. Throwing shit at a wall knowing nothing will stick.

Except the Cowboys looked good that game week 1 and have looked good since then. That Bucs v Cowboys game just came down to who had the ball last is all, which happens alot in the NFL.
The Packers on the other hand looked way different week 1 then they have in the every game since.
Kudos to the Saints for opening the season ready to play and taking to the Packers. But are they the team that whipped Aaron Rodgers and the Packers or are they the team who got whipped by Sam Darnold and the Panthers and lost at home to Danny Dimes and the Giants?
Another way to look at it is have the Saints looked anywhere close to as good as they did week one in the 5 games they've played since? I'd argue they haven't, which support the view that they were fortunate to catch Green Bay when they did.
If the Bucs played Dallas this week it would likely be a similar type of game as week 1 since both teams have proven thus far to be who they were that night.

Headlines: Did the Bucs just break Sean Payton?
That will work for me
Doubtful. Sean Payton will likely surprise the Bucs once again with his gameplan. He's had our number for years, the only solace I have for this game is we are finally the better team with a better QB for the first time I can remember.
Saint WR Deonte Harris #11 was back at practice today. Hopefully the Bucs tell Pinion to kick it nice and high so any returns are mitigated. I'll take 40yd punts all game from Pinion providing there are no return yards.
The Saints lack explosive playmakers outside of Kamara so don't give them freebies in the return game.

Well I do like Darden having the longest punt return already. Plus I'm fine taking the kickoff for the standard 25 yard line.
Uhh Yeah, it was a mistake. But a carefully worded mistake. It came from Tom talking about Seattle's stadium and having to silent count when you are there.

During week 1, I made comments that Aaron Rodgers looked checked out. I even texted my friends asking if they thought he might play like crap just to get traded. After all, he played bad enough to get McCarthy fired. The whole GB team seemed like they didn't want to be out there. That was an aberration game for the Packers. We will see if they really are any good this Sunday. Until then, I am not considering them good. Also their pass rush is getting pressure the same rate as last year. But they aren't finishing.

As if your alternative facts based opinion has any merit on commonsense and reality. Saying the 3rd best defense is "not good" says more about you than it does them

I meant as a team, not as a defense. They have a good defense. The secondary is playing lights out. I meant the offensive side of things.

The Saints certainly are not as good on offense.
Bottom 3 in completion %
Bottom 2 in passing attempts
Bottom 3 in yards
Near the bottom in explosive plays (20+yd pass)
With stats like that you have to be very good on defense if you're 4-2.
