Can’t say I’ve seen many NFL games where one team dominated to this extent. To play on the road after the opponents bye week, following the big win against the Rams; unbelievable. They could have put up 70 points if they had wanted to.

Excellent word - I'm with you. All business. We're not hitting home runs. First down. Then another. Then another. We went to the office today and got it done. We are looking like a team on a mission from God.

Rewatched 09 NFC championship game recently. 2018 O Line I feel is better than 09. 2018 backs are better but not our WRs/TEs. Our Front 7 with Davenport is better but not our secondary. All that said, we still have the Mormon Hercules.

But the game has changed a bit since 09, so I have to be careful with these types of comparisons.

Anzalone is quietly putting together a pretty good season. Seams like he is getting his hands on balls just about every game.

So if the line, RBs, and QB (Drew is playing better) then brother I call that a better offense. This offense is just flat out more dangerous and more explosive. While you could argue that the WR 'group' was better, none of them had the top side that Thomas does and that makes a lot of difference.

Can't argue that...this 2018 offense is better.

Brees is playing out of his freaking mind this year, but that has a lot to do with just how good this line is. That Ramczyk pick was bloody brilliant.

There is a lot of synergy on this offense and most of it starts with that O-Line... Penalties are low, holes are open, drew has all day, and as usual Sean is playing to all of our strengths.

Our formula seems to be let the Offense do its thing and hope the Defense can force a FG/Punt or two... When they start getting turnovers this is going to get stupid quick.

Yep. Colston was a great receiver, love him to death. But Mike Thomas is elite. Top 3 in the league right now if you ask me. Pair him with possibly the most dangerous player in the league in Kamara and you've got a recipe for unstoppable. Might've been nice to add Dez to the mix, but we're deadly no matter what.
