Not really upset about the two INT’s, they were more like punts. I remember someone commenting on the 1st INT took a possible 3 of the board. With the way our kicker is playing, it would have given the Panthers better field position.

I don't think we can with our current WRs. We have two QBs who can gun sling it. Problem is they got nobody open to throw it to.

Re: Observations from the Saints' Win over the Patriots

Agreed ^^. It's hard enough to succeed at this level of football, but even harder when your QB is throwing to a roster full of undrafted WR's.

No one is getting open. One of those is 5'6 special teams ace transitioning to a WR. Play him man/man, then double Kamara who is going to beat you consistently?

It's going to take Jameis a while to gain confidence in this group. Getting players back (MT, McCoy) will help.

Good to see Stills out there ... only one catch but he moved the chains. He'll have more opportunities going forward.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I see that both of our QBs still play like they are in college.

It's fun and exciting to watch but lacks ball security.

I'm not sure I understand this. There were no turnovers in two of our 3 games by the QB. Late in the game last week, when no one was getting open, Winston wasn't getting a decent pocket, and when there was nothing to lose he threw some wild throws and got picks. I've actually been impressed by the restraint JW has showed. I was talking with a Bucs fan while watching the game yesterday that each time he took a sack versus throwing a wild throw that would probably have been a pick my heart grew little (like the Grinch).

This team is built to win by Defense and running game. JW just needs to pass when he HAS to. So far he pretty much has done so. With Thomas and Smith come back (or trade for random WR) the passing game will be better but I don't expect the overall philosophy will change

No… Apparently Belichick grabbed Mac’s arm and led him off the field and into the locker room.

I knew we were going to be a run first team. Winston is doing a pretty good job of managing the game and our defense is so much fun to watch that I think they can cary an average team to the playoffs and maybe even deeper....like all the way!

I love how this defense imposes their will on offenses. Kinda gives me a woody, been wanting a good defense for years. Now, we got an elite defense and when the offense gets on track. We are gonna roll
