Is the New Orleans Saints 26-24 loss Sunday to the Atlanta Falcons the game Who Dats will look back upon in December and say, “Only if they hadn’t made one of those three giant mistakes?” Well, what mistakes are you talking about Jim Derry?

We get into quickly on “Mano E Monday,” as the listeners of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 287) presented by Evangeline Securities chime in and share their opinions with Jim, as well as “Mondays with Gabe Henderson.” Some we think are spot on, and others, well, not so much. (And if you’re going to come at the host with “Derek Carr sucks” or “Dennis Allen is the worst coach in the NFL,” you probably need to have receipts.)

Are there reasons to be optimistic as the focus will soon shift toward playing the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs? Why do the oddsmakers think the Saints have a chance? Lastly, we briefly touch on convincing wins by LSU over South Alabama and Tulane over South Florida, as well as a prediction for Seattle at Detroit in Monday Night Football.
