Greatest show on turf. Taysom SB MVP

[@dparel]

Ok stop assuming these are some of Derek’s best passes in his career… he’s been one of the best deep passers his whole career. Look it up.

[@michaelbrueck6176]

Yea I dont get it besides he has had like 200 headcoaches 250 OC's. Lets see any other QB still function...

[@nuggdog5838]

Saints are playing better than anybody in the league by far then you’ve got to put Derek Carr as top MVP right now as it stands maybe later on yeah other people but right now Derek Hart and the Saints or number one and everything

[@kyledeville8260]

Everything so far has gone right for the Saints. How they respond when things go wrong will determine if they are for real for real.

We're not expecting to win every game

[@CuttBoi]

31 other teams aren't real there's only 1 and we hope it's us one game at a time who dat

[@t5dagreat]

I agree, how DA and Kubiack respond, counter punch, and adjust during a tight game will show how far we can go!

[@robertgillis2697]

@@CharlesRay-g7f barring multiple key players being out we should expect to win each game ( looked at individually). As a group, odds are against an undefeated season no matter how dominant a team is. Is there a particular game you want to bet against the Saints this year?

[@kmaze1204]

It’s bc we have the personnel for this type of offense

[@robertgillis2697]

My ears pricked up when it was mentioned that only Olave and Shaheed had caught passes. I assume you excluded tight end receptions but I clearly remember rookie WR speedster Mason Tipton’s first NFL reception for 6 yards. Hope we get to see more of him- maybe in that “Shaheed TD special” route.

WHO DAT FROM PHX,AZ

Like I said back in training camp….New Orleans has the most negative sportscasters who doesn’t know football in the league!!! Even with you onboard now you are hesitant, because you don’t know what the heck you’re looking at! So here’s a clue….the reason why we are as devastating as we’ve been in these 2 games is THE FING ROSTER!!! No other team has the number of EXPLOSIVE SKILL PLAYERS!!! We have explosive players that haven’t been used on the grand scheme! Most good teams have a couple of players you have to beware of. We literally have 3 TEs that can break your back! And they all come after Kamara and the wideouts! Not to mention Tayson can come at you from 5 positions! And that’s just with the base offense! How do you expect any defense in the league to defend a 3 wideout single back formation when the 3rd receiver is Tipton? Already the league has been put on notice that any play can be an over the top touchdown! Which means they have to guard against that every play! You can’t do that and control Alvin Kamara!!!! In closing, you sportscasters are so bad you don’t even notice that the cowgirls offense wasn’t that bad! Check the statistics and ignore the score!!!

[@DemWhoDatBaae]

Thanks Bob, but that whole diatribe and you didn't mention the best position group thus far: the offensive line

[@ronaldseher2484]

With the Saints dominating the game and seeing Jerry Jones face on the news, I told my friends in Dallas this week, "How about them Cowboys"...hehehehe, the face looks were great!

[@MrWorkkinnmann]

Zach is feeling some kinda way cause his boye got the clipboard in Carolina 😅😅

[@nuggdog5838]

I said the Saints were going to beat the Dallas Cowboys by 39 to 17 and that is on X where I tweeted that out

[@michaelbrueck6176]

Good job man!!! Im not a football fan I'm a Raiders fan, but,I followed Derek here to the Saints.

[@averyperkins8842]

Someone told y’all 42-21 Saints

[@ZandDvideoz]

The next 2 games are very winnanle games and i think the Saints are 4-0 heading into KC. That will be the real test on the road. If everyone stays healthy, theres no reason they cant 5-0 to start the season

[@MJ-dq8ik]

Im trying to remember - did only ONE of these guys pick the Saints to beat the Cowboys last week??

[@supercapitalista5757]

The Saints have performed very poorly against Jalen Hurts. Hopefully, they find a solution for his scrambling. If not, the offense is going to have score a lot just to win by a little.

[@toddlee4457]

Eagles worst run d in the league. Saints #3 in rushing #1 in rushing tds. It's over for them

[@CollinsBean]

What are y’all’s updated win totals?

[@kyledeville8260]

Monday it was 10.5
