I expect a HOF QB to put up points like one. I expect us to get 6 points when we get into the redzone regardless who the defense is. I expect a “HOF” coach to call better plays. Playcalling has been a problem week in and week out for years. I know...but look at the PPG and yards then right? Cool. Look at where I defense is ranked then.

How many years did people say if we even had a middle of the pack defense we could win the Super Bowl? Now we gotta have the 2001 Super Bowl Champs defense for people to be satisfied. We give up big plays? Yeah. So does every other defense in the NFL. I was watching Harrison Smith give up plays in coverage right before the Saints game. **** happens.

When we have a chance to score TD’s we need to score TD’s. Period. The New Orleans Saints should never get 3 and outted on offense. Not with all that hype surrounding Brees, Kamara, and Payton.
Simple... this DB#9 isn’t 2009 DB#9. Over the last few years, the offense has been more conservative, more accurate, quite frequently..., more boring, lol. You can win Superbowls with that philosophy

IF

Your defense is focused money-wise. You have to have a shutdown defense to operate the check-down offense we have. And frankly when you’re dead last in the NFL in passing TD’s allowed...

...you need to have an offense that can sling it also. Keep in mind that Chicago is #1 on that list. A very windy and cold day, in an opponents stadium, it could have ended up very differently.

It was a good win Rez. It may not have passed the eye-test, but Chicago is a pretty darn good defense.
