so.......now what?
 
starting off the season 4-0 is great going into a bye week

we will have our hands full when play resumes but the past 4 games have been fairly flawless

what is there to work on?

what can we do better?

It seems like the pressure has been making Brees make some quick throws that he doesnt want to make. I think the play calling was pretty reserved in the 3rd quarter. We need to work on some new plays to help Drew distribute the ball easily when coverage is tight.

I didn't really see Buffalo or the Jets really try to pressure Brees. I saw them drop into coverage far more often, and try to get aggressive hits on the receivers off the line. It looks to me like they think our offense is all about timing, and if they disrupt that timing and have a lot of people in coverage - they can keep us from being successful on offense

Seemed like it worked to me.

What do we need to do better? Have a backup plan for offense when good defenses take us out of our comfort zone. Looks to me like that's missing at the moment.

We do have a backup plan that's been working very well... give PT the rock!

I agree. Defenses are starting to disrupt the timing. We need Moore back with his route running and we also need to use the quick slants more to open up the deeper routes.
