Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Falcons

I'm sick of the conservative plays.

When we get in the red zone, Brees never throws to the endzone anymore, we always throw short and try to make AK run it in. Super Vanilla and easy to defend.

You've got 7 foot Jared Cook and the best WR in the league on the team, be aggressive and throw them a ball down there.

I dont know if its play calling or Brees becoming captain checkdown - but we just arent that high flying offense anymore.

Before Brees could make a play out of nothing and make receivers better than they are - he cant do that anymore and that's why I notice the decline.

The protection has to be perfect for Brees now for him to make a play.

I agree to an extent... This is not like our offenses of old. We HAVE players we can throw that check down to and they can make defenders miss. We also have players who can block better for those type of plays. Still, a long ball and a shot in the back of the end zone would be nice to see again.
