And here we go...

40 yard catch

Not very surprised we are going to win this one. All these games are toss ups against mediocre opponents and I felt we had a 35% chance to win this one, but that was before the situation where TB was due for a loss and still controlled their own destiny even with a loss. I have argued when people say DA is the worst coach, I feel like his is below average / mediocre which does mean he will win some games.

We are playing well under less pressure since most consider our season over and its less pressure to be underdogs. The Bucs are taking a rest week because they know they can beat the Panthers next week, and on the off chance they don't, all they lose out on is a beating in the playoffs anyway.

What DA will never do is consistently win. Inconsistently winning is his identity.

Loomis and DA will say we are one player away, then we will break the bank for that player and explain away why they need 16 weeks to learn the system and contribute.

This will be the first win of DA's career against a winning team with its starting QB. Not surprising it comes against an 8-7 team in the weakest division in football, essentially a team that does not have the ability level of a normal winning team.

Mmhmm

Now hear me out on the QB front.

This feels like DA or PC have dialled it back, Carr was actually playing well until they got conservative

And here we go

So easy to see that the Saints would let them score.

If we go 3 and out here, we are in serious trouble

You nailed DA and PC do not know how call a game with the lead. Nothing to do with Carr.

Here we go Saints Fans.

I hate the prevent defense when we start it early in the fourth quarter.

Are we sensing collapse?
