Observations from the Saints' Win vs Panthers

Ignoring the list of key players lost earlier in the season we were down RT1, LT1, C1, RB2 and some of y'all are acting like that's "our offense".

If those players come back, we're essentially at full strength on the O line for the first time in WEEKS.

While I don't expect a 180, I would imagine Taysom gets more time to survey the field and maybe use his legs.

Good points. In fact, if the line gets back some players I doubt any team wants to face us in the playoffs. I know Brady doesn’t.

This!

People talking about how the offense needs retooled. What the offense needs are the players already on the roster to be in the active lineup and it's back to being a very competitive squad. Can the offensive roster be improved? Of course. But it is much, much better than what is being marched out on the field through much of this season.

I think most, if not all of us, DO know the current situation on offense. At full strength it’s a good O-line, great RBs, subpar WRs, and Tim Tebow 2.0 at QB.
