Even without Tre, on paper we still have a decent roster and should be able to have one eye on going deep into the season. However, we have to face facts, we have very clear issues with the team which has not been addressed despite numerous 'warning' signs and that was WITH Tre in the team. You can hope yesterday's match outlined some progress on offence but it was against a beaten up Saints. Am I being pessimistic or realistic? Maybe a bit of both. Tre's injury for me doesn't change much in my mind - we were and are not, for what ever reason, ready for a deep run into the post season. Get well soon, Tre.

Right, being in the UK I better get to bed. Happy Thanksgiving everyone - enjoy the rest of your evening!

Considering this must be hurting Brees, with his history, he's been a fantastic co-commentator. NBC really need to make the most of him.

Lucky him(?)

Don't we want Mitch to throw? I guess we're running down the clock but...

Your needle's stuck.

Breida completely deserves that. The poster on the pre-match thread predicted Josh would throw his first red zone interception and four TD's. Not quite in that order but...!

One of these days we'll suddenly spring a play and surprise everyone.

4th and INCHES. We did trust the offense to get us inches???

True - though I'd say they're better than Jacksonville.

We lost to the Jags and every other division leader has had at least one mad result at some point - let's just be pleased with the win.

Would be interesting to know how neutrals and Saints fans feel about it? It's easier to like a lack of flags when winning. I think I'd try and be fair by saying it's been a much better game for the lack of calls even if 24-0 down but I'm not so sure if I would be!

Exactly. They're allowed to headbutt Josh but just make sure it doesn't happen the other way round.

Games are far better when crews just let the players play. Though it'd be nice if Josh could have protection on low blows.

Well... it's more entertaining than the Lions game.

That was brilliant by Josh and Knox.

Nothing we don't know already IMO.

I thought he'd looked decent up to then! McDermott must be wondering if we have anyone we can rely on as a returner lol

Hill? But only in an emergency as he's injured.

Please don't bring facts into this. Dare I say it, the O Line looked sharper again but, from memory, that happened in the first quarter too.

What's slower today - our O Line or the mods? 😆

Not just today though - the offense against the Colts and Jags was frightening.

The puzzle is what has happened to the offense since the bye? It was the defense which let us down against the Titans; the offense did well. But since then it feels like it just hasn't been clicking, with silly error after silly error.

He'll be fine against our defense because Belichick will coach their offense to run rings round us.

So on Sunday you were saying McDermott was the issue because he was distracted due to a potential job and tonight it's Josh because he's got his contract. Who will it be Monday - Fraiser or Daboll?
