He does have an ego. Of course I would think that ego would stir him to win with Winston as a response to Bruce A letting him move on. It still can be done. His deep balls (no jokes please) and his TD pass to the TE were great throws. Even JP mentioned he threaded a couple throws.

Lol, no jokes either but his deep ball is honestly better now prolly cause of his lasik surgery. The long balls he's been throwing from preseason to regular season have been things of beauty. To where he is not overthrowing the receiver or under throwing them and putting it to where only his guy can get it. Not saying to open up the entire playbook but open it up more. Where’s the jet sweeps, QB rollouts, misdirection, etc. And also more play action which Jameis is really good at.

Re: Observation From the Saints' Loss to the Giants

- Winston played an excellent game given what he was allowed to do through the offense.

- The offensive line held up nicely and really opened some holes in the run game and did a pretty decent job in pass pro.

- Almost no real pressure from our rush and that was never addressed. You can't keep rushing your base four when they abandon the run completely in the 4th and start going five wide. You have to really mix it up. Either rush three and blanket or bring five to get some pressure.

- Untimely penalties kept NY in the game.

- The penalty on the Winston TD bomb that wasn't was a killer.

- The decision to bring in Hill and throw a deep one was beyond stupid given Winston was in a groove.

- Keep Hill doing what he does best --- anything but trying to be an NFL QB! That pass was a backbreaker. It was underthrown ... into double coverage ... to our shortest receiver ... with a CB that had six inches on him.

- The decision to go for the 58 yard FG instead of punting put undue pressure on the defense that had been performing nicely up to that point. The short field score by the Giants really seemed to deflate the defense's bravado.

- I felt the secondary got a little full of themselves up 21-10 and lost some intensity. Missed tackles added up in that 4th quarter.

- I repeat, Taysom Hill is one of the most impactful players on our roster ... WHEN NOT PLAYING QB! Argh!!!

- I felt like the game was ultimately decided by the overtime coin flip. Before it occurred I thought to myself that the winner of the toss was going to drive for a TD and win at that point.
