Entirely possible, I think the Saints were/are the better team than the Bucs. But that game was singlehandedly decided by turnovers. A RB isn’t going to change CSP’s playcalling during what most were assuming to be Drew Brees final season. -4 in the turnovers for the game…, oof. All four of them leaving the Bucs with a very short field, 3 in our own redzone, iirc. And three leading to TD’s for the Bucs.

It amazes me the game was as close as it was for that long. 30-20 loss, but essentially we spotted the Bucs 21 points. I was proud of the way that team responded. I’m just not fully onboard with saying having a healthy RB, any healthy RB, would change CSP’s playcalling. If CSP didn’t “criminally underuse” him, to steal another’s phrasing, as the standard operating procedure, then I just might agree with you wholeheartedly.
