We learned that Thursday night football sucks

The NFL manipulate the schedule as we never get home games on Thursdays. Also 4 of the last 5 games being divisional

We learn the officials are trash

And that even with a depleted team we can still be in games.

Aside for one drive in the Redskins game, our TE play has been nothing short of dismal.

SP abandoning the run after Kamara's injury hurt us. Pass first is no longer who we are.

SP is in a heavy bromance with the Screen Pass.

Snead is showing glimmers of what was and Drew needs him as a viable weapon. Without strong TE play, we need our slot WR to gash the soft LB play we've been seeing.

I'm impressed with the depth of our roster stepping up and being competitive, in spite of the massive number of injuries on Thursday Nite.

We learned that the referees don't want a small-market team to win. Screw Roger Goodelle!

Ted Ginn has been okay....we need another Above average posession WR. MT, (Missing Piece), Coleman, let Snead and Ginn battle ot out. Drew has missed on some throws but there has been poor seperation by the Saints WR's as well. I would solely blame Brees if we had an Elite or above average WR corp but, thats not the case. If we had the Bucs or the Falcons WR corp I could totally understand the Drew blame because those are some talented groups there and they should be producing at a high level. When in actuality our WR outside of MT is mediocre at best. Feel like our WR corp is another reason Payton chose to go run heavy this year. I myself was furious with Drew over that throw but, It wasnt that bad of a throw honestly a forces throw as far as the choice goes. He tried to make a play can never be mad at that because he CAN and has made that throw before. Those other two defenders were non-factors he let the ball get to far inside. This O-line has been VERY shaky this year also. Saints get healthy tighten up whatever is loose and lets get on a good roll headed into the playoffs with 3-game winning streak. And continue that habit all way up until after the Superbowl.

Jarvis Landry could solve that. My LSU homer glasses are off ... he's a really good WR at the NFL level.

That doesnt make Payton predictable, just means the Falcons have one hell of Linebacker.
