And considering how banged up Thomas was, then Tampa clearly had a more potent and effective receiving/TE/RB corps available to them in that game than the Saints did. Unbiased observation supports that.

Bingo! 21 points directly off of 3 turnovers. The Bucs had to go 3 yards, then 40 yards, then 20 yards for those TD’s. The last turnover was the end of game possession. wrt CGM, he was targeted only four times the entire game, zero catches.

Tampa only had 189 passing yards, while the Saints had 190 total. More potent? I think not. wrt rushing, the Saints had 105 on 25 carries for a solid 4.2ypc, the Bucs had more with 127, but on 35 carries for a 3.6ypc rushing attack. I’ll take those playmakers, against the other team’s playmakers all day long, sans the turnovers.
