The "X" factor in my mind is the possibility we have both @CantGuardMike and Emmanuel, Emmanuel on the field at the same time...

Now, can Brees get the ball to them?

Let's assume DB arm isn't 100, what's plan B? More Taysom RPO's? Jameis sighting ? Or simply smash mouth(run) football between the tackles?

Tampa's D is too fast and physical to rely on 3 yard passes or a run heavy approach.

If Brees can't get intermediate throws going, then I don't think we have much of a chance.

This is what I thought going in. Add in the fact that nobody had any game film of our healthy offense this year. I was pretty optimistic for those two reasons alone.
