We'll get Coach back. The draft is also top heavy with defense. Barkevious Mingo should be there. I have a feeling we are finally going grab a couple of starters on D this time.

I think we had that ass kicking coming from the Giants. Can't blame these last three losses on the defense though. Special teams were a joke today.

Our offense wasn't exactly anything to write home about either.

I'm officially worried about Drew. The underthrow to Henderson doesn't instill confidence in his arm strength and, more worrisome to me, the two INT's...he seems to have lost the ability to read D's. I just don't get what's going on with him.

Drew has always underthrown his deep guys. It was always a problem In our SB run. The last time I can remember him hitting a Wr in stride was last year against the bears to devery. Go look at some highlights, our deep passes always has our wr's slowing down or damn near stop for the ball.

100% spot on. I've always thought the same exact thing Ash.

I think some are intentional, but it does seem like an inordinate amount.

It's gotten worse.

I'm wondering if maybe his shoulder is starting to wear down with age. He should probably give up the deep pass unless the receiver is alone eating a sandwich because of a blown coverage. I think Drew still has a few good years left in him and I still have confidence in him but it may be time to start grooming his replacement, whoever that may be. Just a thought.

Yo think? throwing 50 plus times a game! Even 40! come on we need to run the damn ball more to keep him through that ridiculous contract !

How old is Tom Brady? Manning? Brees is on a legacy run and because of one year without our coach, he's suddenly on the decline? I can't believe I'm hearing this. This almost supports the theory that Matt Ryan will surpass Brees soon. Actually, it does.

The fat lady is on fire and screaming that it's over. It will be
Interesting to see how many yards the defense and special teams
