Packers are in similar boat with Saints

All I’m saying is Tampa just beat us at home and just beat GB at home. One team has a QB that can’t throw deep, one is the best at throwing deep. Both teams could have defeated Tampa if plays would have gone their way. Blaming on Drew’s weak arm is a cop out.

Our defense is better than GBs and kept us in the game. Those three interceptions were horrible as well. While Cooks fumble was huge, we still weren’t able to really move the ball on offense before or after. That opening drive should have been a TD. We didn’t even attempt anything in the end zone. There were plenty of times when Brees had WRs down field and he didn’t pull the trigger...Why is that? Then go look at Brees stats for the the Bucs. If you are going to play the short passing game you better be accurate and have some zip on the short passes so you can actually complete them. Brees had neither.

I’m not saying that Hill or Winston would have won the game but I think we all just wonder what could have been with a QB that would have at least tried to test the defense.

We had all the pieces we needed to have success in spite of any drop off in Drew’s play. When Taysom and Murray went down those pieces went away. They built this team with Brees decline in mind and the offense was tailor made to succeed in spite of that. With Taysom and Murray in the game to take some of that pressure off Brees we would have stomped Tampa. I blame injury for our post season problems as of late more so than I do the players and coaching.

That was my first reaction , it was only half our winning offense. In place, we got half the score we should have.
