Hoping Bridgewater comes out of his funk. He looked the same as in preseason. Hated hearing wwl this morning blaming everyone but Teddy for the loss.Teddy doesn’t tackle. No BUT he has too many short drives which puts the D at a disadvantage. Teddy didn’t get to practice with the ones. YES he did. Remember Drew out for the lawsuit during camp and Teddy starting all of the preseason games with ones for first half? Just hate the excuses. There were others that we could talk about too. For me his performance MIRROREDHis preseason. Enough excuses. If you can’t win with this offense Teddy then NO team will ever sign you again.

No telling what happens with another QB going down tonight. They are dropping like flies. The league has moved away from the run and going with passing this year. More QB's will go down. Not that many good RB's this year. It's mostly passing.

This right here. He looks like a player whose given up. There’s just something about the way he carries himself. Lack of confidence, chemistry with teammates, something. I just don’t see him providing that spark that players rally behind.
Something about his energy.
Hill on the other hand is full throttle. His attitude is infectious.
It’s not necessarily Tbs play that bothers me it’s his body language.

The entire Offense will change around Teddy, against Seattle we probably won't recognize half of the plays.

And that might actually be a postive to come out of this. Payton will have to try and fix some things in the offence that has been kinda broken in the offence for years but that Brees have been able to mask.

Sean Payton is known for being creative. He'll find a game plan that works to TB's strengths. Whether it's enough to win is another story.

Just take a second and think about the type of individual that turns down an offer to play for more money and to be the starter for another team. Think about the mentality that Teddy must have making that decision. He wanted to sit on the bench for potentially another 2 years behind Brees and took less money to do it...

Some say it displays loyalty, I think it shows a lack of ambition and lack of confidence. The Dolphins are the worst team in the league, but no one knew that 6 months ago, he wanted to get paid less to carry a clipboard for the next 2 years during his PRIME... that is not a mentality I want from my starting QB. He took the path of less resistance.

It doesn't surprise me he looks bothered to lead the team...
