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.

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. |
