Drew Brees will have a day similar to what he did vs Dallas.
I'd prefer we establish the run, get a big lead, and have Drew outta there by the middle of the 3rd quarter actually.

It occurs to me that I don't have NFL Network. Does anybody know if they still show the Thursday night games online?

Oh trust me, I'm with you 1000 %.

I would rather we keep Ingram's confidence soring because we will need him down the stretch vs Seattle and Carolina. I would like to see a 35 pass, 35 rush kind of game.

I was disappointed to see our 2:1 pass to run ratio vs San Fran. We ran the ball well enough to warrant a much closer 1:1 ratio.

One of the few flaws of Sean Payton is falling in love with the forward pass a little too much at times. Our play action isn't nearly as effective when we are that pass heavy.

Let's get Ingram going again and prepare for a balanced attack vs Seattle. If there is one weakness with the Seattle defense is stopping a good running attack.

50/50 isn't really realistic in the league these days... Balance is closer to 60/40, the rules encourage it.

Yes, 50/50 really doesn't happen unless you're the Houston Texans or Seattle Seahawks.

So a 30 rush, 40 pass day would be nice.
