Good game for Teddy to prove something against Seattle

Seahawks are forcing Bridgewater to beat them. That's how I'd play it until he proves otherwise. 

It wouldn't surprise me if this is about the best coaching and personnel surround TB will have in his NFL career. Next couple months will tell us a lot.

16/21 148 yds
2 td's

Into the late 3rd quarter...

With this surround, he doesnt have to carry that Offense.

Part of being QB is playing within yourself and the game .... limit mistakes and turnovers.  I don't know that Teddy can carry a team, but I also don't think he's lost many games in the manner that Cousins had (Buffalo last year, GB this year, etc).

Different QB's, different strengths & weaknesses.  

Teddy giving payback for that 2015 playoff bs.

Despite the dinks and dunks to Kamara, I was surprised at how well he was able to move including his bootlegs. I hate to say it, but Teddy moves better with his bum knee than a healthy Cousins does. Nobody could've predicted whether Teddy would have ever gotten to this point, but I'm happy that he has found a role where he has a good staff and supporting cast to continue his career. I just hate that it's with the Saints. 

Vikings haven't beaten Seattle since 2009.

The last time the vikes won in Seattle was 2006.

So Teddy succeeded where the Vikings haven't. Impressive 

Teddy sure looked better on the road against a tough Seattle D than KC did last season.  Remember how Cousins played on that nationally televised game?

Or he should have big stats with all those weapons?

Seattle is a tough place to play as that was Carroll's 1st home loss in September since he's been with the Seahawks (since 2011 I think), and they'll probably make the playoffs, so...

Let's check Brees' 2 road games against playoff teams last year.

@Bal - win
22/30 212 yds 2 TDs 0 INTs

@Dal - loss
18/28 127 yds 1 TD 0 INTs

For good measure, I'll throw in the @Vikings as it is also a tough place to play.

@Min - win
18/23 120 yds 1 TD 1 INT

Bridgewater played as well, if not better, than Brees has recently versus tough teams on the road.

Yup, Bridgewater is better.

Oh stop it now. Good lord.

Stop what?  Bridgewater managed the game in a tough environment.  Good for him.  Brees did the same thing last year.  Good for him too.

Apparently, using play-makers to make plays is somehow frowned upon.  Jeez.  I mean, if you take away AD's long runs...

Teddy and the Saints played well. Seattle isn't some amazing, dominant defense like they have been in the past but that's still a tough place to play. I don't like anything about the Saints but I can be happy for Teddy.
Also no one is comparing Teddy and Brees. But the past couple years Brees has been much more of a short, efficient passer than the push it down the field, quick-score guy that he was back when Jimmy Graham was scoring 15 TDs. Teddy is a great fit in their current system and if he can do 75% of what Brees can, then they can go .500 or better until Brees is back. Yesterday was a good start for him.
