Green Bay, Wisconsin – Coach Dennis Allen and the New Orleans Saints express disappointment as they reflect on the game they let slip away. The 18-17 loss to the Packers at Lambeau Field leaves a lingering sting within the team’s locker room.
The Saints (2-1) were unable to maintain their 17-0 lead in the fourth quarter, resulting in a defeat. Various breakdowns across the team contributed to this missed opportunity for victory.
OFFENSE: The absence of quarterback Derek Carr due to a shoulder injury dealt a significant blow to the team and its offensive capabilities. Following Carr’s departure in the third quarter, the Saints were unable to capitalize on four consecutive possessions and missed a potential game-winning field goal with 70 seconds remaining. Carr’s performance (13 of 18, 103 yards, and a touchdown) was solid, but the relentless sacks he has endured this season (11 times in total, including three in this game) took a toll against the Packers. The glaring issue of protection must be addressed and resolved. Despite the circumstances, Jameis Winston (10 of 16 for 101 yards) performed adequately as Carr’s replacement and positioned the team for a potential victory. However, the emotional impact of Carr’s injury appeared evident. The running game (22 carries for 77 yards) provided some balance, but the Saints once again failed to convert a red zone opportunity into a touchdown, ultimately affecting the final score.
