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.

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.

I think you just answered the question many have asked for years. How good would Drew be if he ever had an elite receiver? Now we know.

I really liked what I saw from Kirkwood and for what it is worth, everyone in the league knows Dez (intimately), there is only last nights tape on Kirkwood and that is a huge advantage.
