Even the most optimistic Who Dat could not have predicted how well the New Orleans Saints would do in their 2024 season opener against the Carolina Panthers, as they scored a Week 1 franchise record 47 points in a 37-point rout. All this while quarterback Derek Carr was near perfect, and Alvin Kamara looked like, well, Alvin Kamara.

Host Jim Derry wastes no time savoring the victory on Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 276) presented by Evangeline Securities, as he holds court with viewers and listeners in “Mano E Monday.” What do fans think, and how do we avoid “Overreaction Monday?” (Or maybe we don’t?)

Jim plays clips from Coach Dennis Allen, Carr, Kamara and cornerback Alontae Taylor, who set a team record Sunday for sacks in a game by a defensive back. And we briefly look ahead to next week’s game against the Dallas Cowboys and ask if this can continue on against a much better opponent.
