Well Brees was hurt so there's one answer. Also, factor in TB was playing the QB who got overlooked by them the minute he lost the BCS title game, of course he was fired up and Tennessee backed him up. Titans also have creamed offenses on the road holding them to less than 15 points the last three season openers now. TB also made the mistake of not running the ball consistently as that is Tennessee's biggest weakness. I actually thought we were not sweeping the bucs again, and would lose one or both games because the first being at home(I have 3-3 division). I was not surprised to see a 0-2 start. I at one point picked a 0-2 start that would end up 4-2(it depends if we can have a better offense than Atlanta week 6). However, if we lose this game to Carolina we will win the home game. So it doesn't matter. I always think it's the matchups not running out of strength winning so many games. We can go 0-3 and still beat Dallas, Atlanta, New York, Tennessee all at home, and at Washington or Philadelphia and end up 5-5 before the bye week. And if we win our last three home games and win in Atlanta we can get to 9-7. But honestly look at Indy. They are not this feared offense, jets defense beat them in their own place. We can certainly give them a game. So it is even possible we could go 6-4 before the bye.

Am I overthinking? Maybe, but the two matchups we played are better than those games(minus Indy) due to one having weapons(yes bucs have weapons) and the other being at home and being well rounded. Giants have Odell and a crappy RBBC, Tennessee could pose a challenge if we don't run the ball, Philadelphia is learning why Bradford is a bad qb(can't spread the ball around, doesn't force it to Matthews), Washington has a bad qb, Atlanta will be on short rest and our most hated rival, and Dallas is without their two biggest players and have no stud running attack.

I have this hollow feeling in my stomach that this will be a repeat event. Week after week we will wait for the announcement as to whether Brees will or won't play.

Go eat a shrimp poboy.

I could tell when he never moved his right arm in that video (and his demeanor) that he more than likely would not play.

Win this week and I bet he sits out Dallas.

Lose and he'll play Dallas guaranteed

Danno

Probably so.

I wonder if Drew made the call or Payton?

Danno

BTW: If we sign another QB next week, that may be a sign that its more serious than they're letting on.

And if an asteroid hits my house tonight, I'll not worry about vacuuming the carpet tomorrow.

I am surprised the Saints didn't bring anyone in for a tryout.

Either SP believes McCown can hold the fort down for a game or 2 or Brees won't be out that long.

AsylumGuido

Why bring someone in for a tryout? It's a damned bruise. Nothing more. McCown is better than anything out there on the open market by a mile.

McCown "Era"...?

God, I hope it doesn't last that long...

Anyway - time for the O Line to step up big time.

Any word on Evans?
