We fumble pounding the football, why didn't get leave it in Brees' hands? We throw an INT, why didn't get run the ball in that instance? Conclusion: Don't lose. The media/fans will be unhappy and criticize your every move. |

we are averaging 4.4 ypc
you know how we can run the ball more effectively? try running the ball blaming the line? do you guys realize how effective we actually are on the ground? we almost average a first down every 2 runs |
