Not sure I agree with this Oak. In that playoff game they had an injured Thomas, no Hill, no Murray, no consistent WR behind Sanders, and no Harris after the first quarter. Looking back, Brees had no healthy, quality targets to throw to in that game outside of Sanders and Kamara. The only players lost so far are Easton (providing Ruiz continues to improve he’s expendable), Cook ( who cost the game IMO) and Hill (great blocker but easily replaceable in the pass game).

The team got hit with the injury bug late while Tampa got healthy at the right time aided by a late season bye. Loomis is doing his restructure work. Kamara, Thomas, and Oline quality will still be there in 2021. I don’t think there will be a massive talent drop off like you are predicting. We will see though.
