So how exactly does this Oline score points? This is going to be all time embarrassing for N.O. AR will feast on this secondary with a gimpy Lattimore who was burned by Lazard last year.

Why is N.O. getting the hype this year? This team is depleted, gutted, finished and in a full rebuild except oline.

With a good oline and not under pressure winston looks good. Hardly any picks. Great oline olay makes a bad o look decent

Jaire got it right. O Line isn't that important and is made good usually by skill players, not vice versa.

Our Passing and our Inside Running should be pretty much unstoppable. Winston should not find many open receivers downfield, and he hasn't been good throwing to backs. Even if he has developed patience with age - which I doubt- we beat them by a lot.

I know it's easy to say this after the fact but I genuinely don't understand this post.

They have a young all-pros at both tackle spots. A future all-pro at C. The other line spots are very good. Wisconsin's own RR is elite.

The DL easily one of the deepest in the league. Cameron Jordan and Year 3 of Marcus Davenport. They also have Trey Hendrickson who has been damn good the past few years.

Demario Davis is an all-pro the last two years at MLB. Kwon Alexander is _exactly_ the type of speedy off-ball backer that can destroy the run game and the type of players the Packers desperately need.

Lattimore just signed the biggest defensive back contract in NFL history today so clearly he is doing something right. Roby is good too but he is out. Gardner-Johnson is a great athlete that many here were very high on.

Kamara is really good at what he does. A rich man's Aaron Jones.

Receiver is good but hurt.

While I think people overlooked the talent on the Saints, Hendrickson plays for Cincinnati now. They did go 13-3, 13-3, and 12-4 the last 3 years (and Brees wasn’t the same last year) and beat TB 38-3. It’s a good roster overall. I’m going to consider the 38-3 a good omen for now.

We have two rookies OLs to start the season. Theoretically, both can be replaced by vets when Bakh comes back. Patrick and Bakh could take over. But maybe they’re two serviceable rookies. Beating Patrick for the starting spots is a good sign.

The Saints are in shambles. It was bad enough that they had to switch to Jameis Winston, but now Katrina 2.0 has taken out their home-field advantage. Michael Thomas is acting naturally (a jackoff). If we lose this game, my view of the season as a whole will be bleak. (I'm a fan, so I'm allowed to get carried away with one event.)
