This rash of injuries to offensive linemen across the league seems to be having a heavy toll.

That's hasn't been those teams problems all year like the Saints that's the difference. Even so that doesn't excuse the Saint from not scoring more tha 20pts. Houston has had Oline problems Ravens Steelers Packers. Maybe Saints picked wrong guys that picked the wrong guys to block.

Exactly.

The “we didn’t have this, we didn’t have that” bs is tired.

Cleveland found a way to defeat the Niners with a back up QB last Sunday.

Broken record here but it's mainly the signal caller. Pete C.

Get Michael Thomas more involved when you need a first down or late in the game (Texans).

Keep an eye on Chris Olave going forward. His effort was questionable at best vs Houston. I've been mentioning bad body language in these game-day chats for a reason.

If you're hurt (toe), have a seat. We can't have a player not giving 100% effort (routes/blocking etc) on plays when you aren't being targeted.

The NFL is hard enough.

Good on Carl G.

He’s earned that bag 💰.
