But the Saints were outscored 25-10 in the final 18-plus minutes and fell to the Silver and Black in a game in which they surrendered 486 total yards.

As ESPN’s Field Yates pointed out, the Saints are now carrying roughly $40 million in dead cap space – that is, salary cap space being taken up by players not currently on the active roster. In the Oakland Raiders’ win, quarterback Derek Carr was able to have a great game through the air against the Saints’ defense. He caught four passes, including the game-winning three-yard touchdown. He caught eight passes for 130 yards and three touchdowns.
“Not at one time did I feel at any point in the game that we doubted that we were going to win the game”, said Giants linebacker Jonathan Casillas, who was a member of the New Orleans team that won the Super Bowl at the end of the 2009 season. New Orleans couldn’t stop a nosebleed right now, nevertheless an offense that features Manning, Beckham Jr., Shepard and Victor Cruz. But if they hope to get in the win column this week against the Giants, then they’ll have to do a much better job at some of the things that eventually caused them to come up short against Oakland, in this game against NY.
“It allowed me to play last Sunday”, he said.
“When you are playing a guy like that who has been doing it for a long time, you know he has a good arm and has some good receivers who can definitely take the top off a defenses, and you have guys who understand football, and the way he throws and gets it out quick, ” Rogers-Cromartie said.
If he can keep Snead out, which I fully expect him to do, then the Saints won’t have many options that the Giants can’t content with. He began to see time at safety previous year when Del Rio and defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. took charge of the defense.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – There’s no need reminding LeSean McCoy how poorly the Bills’ offense performed in opening the season at Baltimore last weekend. If they got torched by Manning a year ago with cornerback Delvin Breaux on the field, I’m scared to see what will happen without Breaux. Cruz played in Dallas after being sidelined for nearly 23 months due to injuries. Brees carved up the Giants’ defense, completing 39-of-50 passes for 505 yards, an National Football League record-tying seven touchdown passes and two interceptions in a 52-49 win. They have a considerably better pass rush offense, which showed against the Raiders who didn’t get a single sack.
Spiller’s run in New Orleans was extremely disappointing. “I think Game 2 will certainly be an improvement from Game 1”.
“I think the D-line knows and defenses know that everything starts up front”. He looked unstoppable lat week, and they deserved a win just for his performance alone.
