For a game looking like it could go the wrong way throughout the first half, last night’s season opener for the Saints ended up leaving fans feeling pretty good about what’s on the field this season. There are definitely things to clean up but that will come. The important thing is that the Saints got the win and Sean Payton got the monkey off his back of not being able win a season opener.
There were a number of performances in last night’s game that don’t quite qualify for a sizzle or a fizzle but bear mentioning.
