I don't think I've ever seen Brady this off.

[Drj820]

Brady is absolutely worthless if you bring pressure on him.

I still can't for the life of me understand why Pettine didn't bring pressure on Brady. I mean rush 4 at the minimum.

Completely agree. That first bucs drive Brady got popped twice and I texted a group message that Brady was about to suck, and maybe check out.

That is literally one of the only ways to beat him, pop him early and often.

[go pak go]

Saints score one more touchdown in the 2nd half and this game is over.

Which is awesome as we will be 2nd in the conference.

Saints have a really easy schedule from here on out though outside of MN and KC I believe. So it will be time to start rooting against NO's.

I still need some points in fantasy this week from some starters in this game, starting to worry all the starters are gonna be out like mid 3rd qtr lol

Honestly I think the problem was he wouldn't rush more than 4.

He rushed 3 a lot.

[go pak go]

Oh my gosh the Bucs are bad tonight.

[go pak go]

What in the hell are the Saints doing to completely take away the Bucs ILBs?!

This is insane.

Actually 3rd. Saints get tiebreaker over both of us, Seahawks get it over us.

Because it's a three way tie?

[BF004]

Yeah, Saints win 3 way tie.

Attention NFL.

The tape is available on how to beat Tom Brady.

And this isn't like the weird Rodgers performance vs Tampa. This is an a$$ whooping. Get pressure on Brady and he stinks.

Of course we said that before the Bucs game too. Although to be fair, I still think we win that game if Aaron didn't throw those picks.

[texas]

Everyone talks about the Seahawks.

But the Cardinals really scare me too. Kyler Murray is insane. You need to beat them by forcing turnovers.

He's overrated imo.

This has been the case for years. The problem with sending heat for us is you’re likely leaving Savage in a one on one tackling situation and no one in the entire league is as bad in that circumstance as Savage. I think Pettine was also scared of Jackson getting beat over the top which ultimately did happen.

You gotta be good enough on the backend as well to beat Brady.

[texas]

Yeah, how do the Saints do this to TB, and the Bears take them to the end, and we get blown out of the water?

Yeah, I think king being out that game affected the game plan probably more than we account for when we discuss the game. Pettines plan failed, but his plan was influenced by trying to protect Jackson and maybe even Savage too.

[BF004]

Yeah, Saints win 3 way tie.

Kind of crazy that the that the 7th seed team is only one game out of the one seed, which is a 3 way virtual tie.


It is, however short of the Eagles, looking likely that these will be your other 6 playoff teams right now

But damn right race right now.

[Christo]

Yeah, how do the Saints do this to TB, and the Bears take them to the end, and we get blown out of the water?

This is a perfect example of just how worthless it is to rank teams. I understand it's something to do and the sports networks get views.
But I really don't care how good a team is playing at week 8 or 9. The only time it matters is week one of the playoffs.

ehh, I tend to disagree, at least to the extent that winning tough games builds confidence, look how it worked for us in 2010, or the Giants a year later.

this season is a anomaly, no PS games, and a off season dominated by this pandemic put every team behind, imo teams loaded with vets at key positions, older established coaches have the upper hand, offenses are lighting it up and most defenses can't stop them.

pretty good read by Bucky Brooks, at the bottom he talks about some defense and the importance of his four key defensive positions.

....and the Packers beat the Saints, while the bears took the Saints to OT

On the TB side, the biggest difference is that the bears were facing Bucs on a short week - and that short week is hard on old man Brady and it also leads to a lot of sloppy and mental mistakes. Bucs were a mess vs CHI on TNF. But then they had 12 days to rest, recover and gameplan for the Packers- and we saw the results.

It really matters when you play a team- not just on the injury front but for rest/recover reasons as well.
And it will start to matter even more as we get later in the season, the older QBs lose arm strength just as the weather turns. Brees and Brady are sheltered from it by playing in warm climate + domes - but getting them to GB in January is a HUGE advantage vs the elders
