You need to let that go. Move on.

-Too much to overcome.
-Panthers defense is for real.
-Saints OLine was absolutely
whipped.
-Gardner-Johnson is a difference maker.
-Don't watch the tape. Block it out. Move on

Brees was so great that he could make a household name out of undrafted WR’s. That’s a very rare thing though and we simply can’t keep going that route in the post-Brees era. Callaway should be a tertiary option.

I’m really optimistic about the offense when we can roll out MT, Stills and Callaway. Until then… it’s going to be a struggle.

That’s a problem.

Constructive criticism:
- Drives me nuts when we start in pistol-like formation and shift to a normal shotgun. I think we could do more damage with the pistol similar to Chiefs and Cardinals.
- The pitch to Kamara at the goal line was much too risky and we saw the huge negative result. Unless you are playing a defense that is absolutely gassed, I don't think that play works at the goalline in the NFL. Stuff the middle or call another play.
- Play action on first down seemed kind of predictable and Panthers got us for huge losses on it.
- I don't think we called a screen all game. Could've used a few to keep Winston from getting assaulted.
- Needed to send more pressure vs Darnold earlier in the game. I know it's risky calling it with McCaffery, but we let Darnold get way too much rhythm.
- Refs need to chill with the roughing-the-passer flag. Terrible ones called against both teams today.

The defense played well enough to win in spite of everything until the end. We need offensive weapons period.

Who Dat!!!! First and foremost. We had so many out for covid, I'm trying to not be one of those fans but it is what it is. I personally want to see Jameis launch it. Show what receivers can handle it and who can't. Hard to do with a shotty line like today. He looked scared, out of place. Huge step back today, but in reality, it played out the way it should of with our outages. We will get better, every week. Panties took advantage of our disadvantages... We are better than them, you all know this.
