Saints Choke Versus Packers; Falcons Lose
September 24th, 2023
Lost.
The Buccaneers are alone in first place!
What a day it was for Tampa Bay.
Joe got great joy watching the slimy Saints choke away a 17-point lead against the Packers in Green Bay. Saints QB Derek Carr busted up his shoulder and in came Jameis Winston. The Saints (2-1) had zero points in five drives with Jameis at quarterback, including the Saints missing a late 46-yard field goal that led to the Packers getting in victory formation.
The Bucs head to New Orleans next week. Joe is soooo hoping it’s Jameis at the command.
Detroit led wire-to-wire in an easy 20-6 win against Atlanta (2-1), which couldn’t run the ball. That’s right, Atlanta was dreadful on the ground while QB Desmond Ridder was decent through the air.
Now it’s the undefeated Bucs’ turn in the NFC South tomorrow night against the Eagles.

3x division Champs ! I’m calling it
September 24th, 2023 at 4:26 pm
I hit the Saints kicker with “miss it newnan”!! You older dudes know what I’m taking about.
Fist place no matter what! Go Bucs!
September 24th, 2023 at 4:27 pm
Sean Payton is as bad of a head coach without Drew Brees as Bill Belichick is without Tom Brady 😂 70 points wow! Even if we lose to the Eagles we will still be tied for first place
September 24th, 2023 at 4:28 pm
buwhahaha… skru payton
September 24th, 2023 at 4:29 pm
BaaaaaHaaaaHsaaaaaaaa!
Packers saw Winston take over and THEY GOT HUNGRY knowing NOW they have a chance to win….
Carr goes down and the Saints scoring ended!
September 24th, 2023 at 4:31 pm
Where are the Jameis fans?
September 24th, 2023 at 4:32 pm
Was Payton taking bong hits on the sidelines? They gotta fire their DC after giving up 10 TD’s, right?
September 24th, 2023 at 4:34 pm
@ModHairKen – I’m sure they will be here all week popping off IF Winston starts next week!
September 24th, 2023 at 4:34 pm
Tye,
You could say that dem Packers fans done checked they sheets and knew what be up.
😂
September 24th, 2023 at 4:34 pm
The Bucs should add that backhand shovel slip screen that Miami runs to their playbook. Mayfield would run that well.
September 24th, 2023 at 4:34 pm
Sean Payton really straightened things out. Ha!!
Watching the Saints and Payton blow chucks is awesome!
September 24th, 2023 at 4:35 pm
The saints O line seems suspect they been giving up alot if sacks and if jamies plays next weekend it could be a repeat of last year week 2 against them
September 24th, 2023 at 4:35 pm
Our loss comes tomorrow.
September 24th, 2023 at 4:36 pm
I was loving it
September 24th, 2023 at 4:36 pm
Winston, “I’m still a Super Bowl caliber QB!”
September 24th, 2023 at 4:38 pm
Today makes sense…
As Winston leads the Saints on a game winning drive, only to have the kicker miss a very makeable kick, Matt Gay is booming 4 50+ yard FGs to outduel Justin Tucker to win the game for the Colts.
September 24th, 2023 at 4:40 pm
Yeah……the Bucs will lose tomorrow…..not because the Bucs are a bad team…..but because the Eagles are both really good on both offense and defense…….
But if the “Good Jameis” shows up this coming Sunday……that won’t be an easy game either.
September 24th, 2023 at 4:46 pm
All this good news makes me nervous because our beloved Bucs never seem to take advantage of gifts they’re given. Also, Ronde is being honored at halftime. Have they ever won a game when someone was honored at halftime? Man, I hope I’m wrong, but all signs point to a loss.
September 24th, 2023 at 4:50 pm
Bucs can take the lead in the division tomorrow with a statement game against the Iggles!
September 24th, 2023 at 4:56 pm
I truly don’t care if it’s Winston or Carr. That ship has sailed. Just win.
September 24th, 2023 at 4:56 pm
Jameis is a capable QB … anything can happen and we still have a game to play before we think anything about the Saints
September 24th, 2023 at 4:59 pm
Sounds like Carr going to the hospital. Checking for internal injuries.
Hope this isn’t a simms situation.
September 24th, 2023 at 5:00 pm
What a glorious day. Hopefully we can take care of business
September 24th, 2023 at 5:05 pm
Music to my ears!!!!
September 24th, 2023 at 5:07 pm
Some of the football I’ve watched today was inexcusable. I did thoroughly enjoy Sean Payton getting absolutely embarrassed.
September 24th, 2023 at 5:08 pm
Hope Carr needs an autopsy
September 24th, 2023 at 5:11 pm
Love how today played out. I’m tickled pink.
Saints blog probly a bit salty today I’d bet.
Haha love it!
September 24th, 2023 at 5:15 pm
Just think if you had the Broncos +49, and still lost. LOL!
September 24th, 2023 at 5:18 pm

HAHAHA, that made me laugh.
BTW, when NFL security shows up to ask you questions about your comment, just slam the door in their face, they’re not real cops.
September 24th, 2023 at 5:19 pm
That is funny Rod
September 24th, 2023 at 5:24 pm
Miami hung a 70 burger on Denver. 726 yards of offense and 10 TDs.
Yikes.
September 24th, 2023 at 5:25 pm
The Dolphins took Tua out after the 3rd quarter, while Payton left Wilson in to the end of the game down 50, taking hit after hit. Shows how much he values Wilson.
September 24th, 2023 at 5:26 pm
All you so-called Bucs fans who are running your mouths about the Eagles winning, go cheer for the Saints. They need you.
This team is going to dismantle your little pansy Eagles with their sissy green and white costumes. They overplayed their talent but still blew it last year, and they are going to choke in Ray Jay. They always do.
September 24th, 2023 at 5:33 pm
About as exciting a time as you can expect this early in the season. Bucs/Eagles MNF is a legit throwback game. I just want to see these guys play hard and come out healthy for the division game on Sunday. Great opportunity to cash in on house money. LFG.
September 24th, 2023 at 5:33 pm
We beat the Bears and Vikings…
September 24th, 2023 at 5:36 pm
The before the season CBS Sports Madden 24 simulation has the Bucs losing to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. Mayfield had 4,529 yards, 36 touchdowns, and just seven interceptions.
But, very interestingly, the same sim had the Colts as the #2 seed in the AFC, and the Colts are now 2-1.
But, then again, it had the Broncos as the #7 seed. That isn’t happening, if it does, that’s going to be a heck of a comeback by Payton as coach.
September 24th, 2023 at 5:36 pm
LoL to the Jameis haters taking a victory lap when the Saints kicker clearly lost the game for them….same pathetic haters that rooted against the Bucs when Jameis was here for 5 years…Saints lost which is great, but Jameis played fine.
September 24th, 2023 at 5:39 pm
Jameis just needs to leave the Aints at this rate.
September 24th, 2023 at 5:46 pm
Many of us told you guys who were quaking in fear about Derek Carr, the Falcons, etc. They are trash. Worse than they were, even. Winning the division is not a major accomplishment, and not a measure.
September 24th, 2023 at 5:48 pm
Tbbucs3. As always you can blame the kicker. Saints were up 17-0 So why blame 1 person? Somebody gave up 18 points.
September 24th, 2023 at 5:50 pm
bears are really bad…tomorrow is a huge test for us.
September 24th, 2023 at 5:51 pm
So I listened to the very entertaining Bears podcasts and radio this week to hear them cry and whine all week about losing to the Bucs, and it was fun. But the big thing was Justin Fields calling out his coaches (to a limited degree), saying he was going to ‘f-it mode’ this week, basically meaning he wasn’t going to just sit in the pocket like his coaches want him to, and instead would make plays.
Well, watching this KC game, he’s mainly just sitting back in the pocket, and is still super slow to make reads, and I think he’s only made plays with his feet once.
Talk about garbage coaching. Why do you have a QB like Fields, who is the best running QB in the NFL, and tell him to be a pocket passer? Really stupid. Would be like having Tom Brady run the Michael Vick offense.
The Bucs should offer the Bears a 5th rounder for Fields, I think they’d take it.
September 24th, 2023 at 5:53 pm
For fantasy football sake, I need the Bears to do something, or else KC will pull Mahomes really early.
What a terrible organisation.
September 24th, 2023 at 5:59 pm
Poor JayMiss.
😂😂😂
September 24th, 2023 at 6:00 pm
Jay Miss defenders are hilarious, the dude is trash, “the kicker missed ” I watched the game… he was trash
September 24th, 2023 at 6:06 pm
F the Eagles, we own them!
September 24th, 2023 at 6:08 pm
Rod, I would give 7th for him
September 24th, 2023 at 6:19 pm
Looks like Chicago may have quit on the staff.
That is a really really bad football team
September 24th, 2023 at 6:20 pm
Lol, the caption Joe put under Winston’s picture. Lol
September 24th, 2023 at 6:22 pm
Not quite sure why Mahomes is still in the game up by 34 in the 3rd. Gabbert should be in showcasing everything he learned from Trask.
September 24th, 2023 at 6:30 pm
i’m starting to think we might have struggled too much against the bears
September 24th, 2023 at 6:31 pm
@Steele. Don’t ruin it for the fans who look at the team through their pewter-colored glasses. Some really want to crown us after beating the Bears and Vikings.
September 24th, 2023 at 6:32 pm
saints ain’t all that…
ridder is a joke…
carolina = pathetic tiny rookie qb waste of a pick
September 24th, 2023 at 6:34 pm
anyone know what actually happened to carr’s shoulder…???
also miami is no joke…but sean payton is

Rod, I would give 7th for him
———
At this point they might take. I think, as a weapon, Fields is worth giving a shot, but you’d need an OC that designed an offense around him. Asking him to sit back and be a pocket passer, is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen.
When he drops back, he takes forever to scan the field, and they should be making the offense super simple, one, maybe two reads, if they’re not there, run. Seems very simple.
Anyways, at least if the Bucs lose, I’ll have some sports talk to listen to, because the Bears fans and media are going to go full on nuts.
September 24th, 2023 at 6:52 pm
Bucs 13, not trying to “crown them” but I am also not going to crap on a 2 and 0 start….. like some “fans” here is an idea, enjoy when “your” team wins and don’t be a pessimistic prick
September 24th, 2023 at 6:54 pm
Next week you got the Bears vs Broncos.
If KC doesn’t shutdown its offense, you could have the two having lost by 100 points.
Has that ever happened before? Anything even close to that?
September 24th, 2023 at 6:57 pm
Haaaa! Cowgirls down by 2 scores
September 24th, 2023 at 7:00 pm
Glad the Bucs game will be on TV next week, we would probably get stuck watching the Bears/ Broncs.
That game might be the only scoreless game in NFL history.
Congrats Jameis, gave away your Ws to Green Bay, what a way to share.
NFL has become a Haves and Have Nots league, the parity experiment has failed.
September 24th, 2023 at 7:01 pm
It’s crazy you can score that many points and STILL LOSE the game🤷
September 24th, 2023 at 7:04 pm
I wonder what are going thru Broncos fans heads…..thinking Sean blows chunks right now??????
……sorry Broncos fans,….but Sean Payton doesn’t have a Dree Brees on his team…..
September 24th, 2023 at 7:08 pm
So we are on our way. Bucs 1st place in the division. Tomorrow, behind sniper Mayfield, soon to be the greatest Quarter Back in history, Bucs will crush the Eagles! No looking back. Who needs Brady??? We got Mayfield!!!!!
September 24th, 2023 at 7:08 pm
I’m reading headlines and the Vikings are blaming their home crowd for making too much noise at the end of the game when the Vikings were on offense, and that causing a bunch of confusion and making them waste time and not get the right play in. HAHAHA. Morons.
September 24th, 2023 at 7:10 pm
If andy reid can get 6 rings out of patrick mahomes then he will surpass bill belichick as greatest NFL head coach of all time
September 24th, 2023 at 7:10 pm
I’m so happy the cowpokes lost…..made my day!!!!
September 24th, 2023 at 7:12 pm
@ Old School Bucs
What you smoking on saying that about Baker Mayfield 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣????
September 24th, 2023 at 7:13 pm
So after that interception by dak the bucs are the only team in the nfl without a turnover 👀
September 24th, 2023 at 7:15 pm
Either the Bucs or Eagles will join the 49ers as the only undefeated teams in the NFC.
September 24th, 2023 at 7:15 pm
Really???? 🤔
September 24th, 2023 at 7:19 pm
If we win tmrw you could argue were legit contenders for the nfc and a top 5 team
September 24th, 2023 at 7:22 pm
Ummmmmmm…..I’m not jumping into the Baker Mayfield/ Legit contenders hype……… we’ve all seen Mayfield implode throughout the years…….
…..Mayfield will have to prove he ain’t no fluke tomorrow night……just saying 🫡
September 24th, 2023 at 7:24 pm
The Bucs are as good as anyone in the BFC with the exception of the 49ers who always fail in NFC championship game. Bank on this folks
September 24th, 2023 at 7:25 pm
@ Bucs95
Spot on! Boy finally someone with insight!
September 24th, 2023 at 7:32 pm
@ModhairKen
Man you’re my kind of fan! I don’t give a crap who we play especially the wank Eagles. I got migraines in the late 90s watching us lose to those wanks until we got redemption. Tell me we can’t beat them! I’m feeling it! Just gotta find a place to watch the game up here in North Kackalacky!
September 24th, 2023 at 7:35 pm
Most Americans don’t know what a Wanker is 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
September 24th, 2023 at 7:38 pm
Watched Jax get beat and kept wondering about their QB and OC. They would have made a game out of it if both had gotten on the same page. Jax would have scored a boatload of points if they had played options between their QB and RB/WR. Loved watching the Fish crush Sean Payton’s team. So, both Atlanta and Aints lost today. Whew man, you can bet Bucs were paying attention. Just made tomorrow nite more interesting. Go Bucs, FWIW!!
September 24th, 2023 at 7:44 pm
Anthem – a wanker is someone who wanks
September 24th, 2023 at 7:54 pm
Joe, did you mean America’s Quarteback?
September 24th, 2023 at 8:02 pm
Downside to QB2 not getting reps with the 1’s. If QB1 goes down production stops. Defense shut Packers out for an half snd Offense left them hanging out to dry. Upside for Saints is Kamara will be back in practice this week and Both him and Winston will be ready for Week 4. Who do they Play?
Lions made the Falcons look like a team in the weakest division in the NFC as many of the Pundits were predicting. We got them week 6.
Jordan Love paid attention to Rodgers and just missed a couple nice throws. Teams playing them in December better be ready.
Colts beat the Ravens and Texans pounded the Jags. Both are on the dance card too.
I’m not about to go pissing in my pants because what other teams did. Philly is and should be the only concern.
September 24th, 2023 at 8:09 pm
The Bucs head to New Orleans next week. Joe is sooo hoping it’s Jameis at the command.
Why would you want “America’s Quarterback” starting against us Joe?
September 24th, 2023 at 8:13 pm
Jax made Texans look good cos their QB and OC did not get on the same page mentally. Their running game crushed the crap outta the Texans. I’m still snorting over Sean Payton getting his butt kicked by the Fish. The Bucs defense would have bottled up some of that running away game. Pack snuck up on the Aints and beat them, Jameis or no Jameis. Bucs still have a tough one tomorrow night but the next one in NOLA…snort!
September 24th, 2023 at 8:18 pm
Barfo, I rarely watch SNF cos I hate Cris Collingsworth!! I have sound off. UGH!
September 24th, 2023 at 9:45 pm
Why hate Jameis? He just doesn’t have what it takes to be a franchise QB. Probably does the best he can. We just wasted years with him at the helm. But then Mariota turned out to be basically the same, so we weren’t the only one to be snowed that year.
September 24th, 2023 at 10:44 pm
I’d rather face Carr then Winston.
September 24th, 2023 at 11:26 pm
The Bucs OL will have no chance against Eagles DL. Baker is the worst qb under pressure for the past few years. The honeymoon for Baker and Toilet Bowl will come to end tomorrow.
September 25th, 2023 at 12:23 am
jaboo to the rescoo
September 25th, 2023 at 2:24 am
Umm…Lets worry more about controlling our own destiny! You never know what the season holds. One game at a time is not a cliche for coaches. Almost every season holds at least one game early in the season that seemed to be relatively unimportant at the time that turned out to be a key to the season. Good and bad.
This team is too young to be counting any game as a win.
Go Bucs!
September 25th, 2023 at 6:11 am
David, like fantastic passing stats for Baker under pressure THIS YEAR, your stats are old, Bucs OWN Philly, hurts is OVER RATED!
September 25th, 2023 at 11:23 am
I’m confused about why so many “Bucs Fans” not only betting against (us?) but seem to be LOOKING FORWARD to (us?) losing…. WTF?
I’m with Mod Hair on this one! WTF are YOU PEOPLE talking about? I guess for ANYBODY to understand WHY you feel that way “WITHOUT BEING A TROLL” then maybe lay out “WHY”!
OTHERWISE YOU’RE A TROLL AND AREN’T TO BE COUNTED AS A BUCCANEERS FAN….
People AREN’T getting where you’re coming from and don’t read minds. There are obvious TROLLS and then there are people whom I’ve always known as die hard fans. Right Now, Looks like I lost my crystal ball to read minds with and as far as some of you beings ACTUAL FANS, not so sure about that….
September 25th, 2023 at 3:30 pm
Why are we Worried about Winston still? He’s not on this team and he still have fans keeping up with whatever he does. For the record he didn’t cost the Saints the game or the lead. It was just like here in Tampa a few times when the team blows a double digit lead and lose. Lets focus on the Eagles and get the W. The eagles have regressed with the losses of their OC and DC from last year. Still a good team but we have to be able to take advantage since its early in the season before they hit mid season form. We have the chance to take the lead in the NFC South with a Win.
September 27th, 2023 at 1:41 am
@ Bucs13 who hasn’t beat the Vikings ?? 🤣 Minnesota born and raised Saints fan
