No idea how the season plays out but the @Saints have to be sick with the way they have blown games 2 weeks in a row… both have happening due to playing man to man late with the lead & giving up huge plays!!! They should be sitting at 4-0 right now!

It takes a lot to surprise a Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback, but the New Orleans Saints found a way. Kurt Warner was stunned to see the Saints lose two games the same way in as many weeks — blowing late leads to the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles, dropping their record to 2-2 on the season so far.
“They should be sitting at 4-0 right now!” Warner wrote from his official Twitter/X account, pointing out that both losses came down to similar situations. Just like Saints fans in the stadium seats and at home, he’s seen too many big plays given up in man-to-man coverage in the game’s final minute.
Unfortunately, this has been a trend for the Saints under Dennis Allen. The team hasn’t closed many tight games over the last few years. They’re 0-4 when holding onto a narrow lead late in regulation since 2022. It’s something they must figure out, and quickly, or else it’ll bring Allen’s tenure to an end.
