Can anyone guess ways to continue to be successful with Brees?

There is a huge difference between regular season and playoffs. As we all saw, "good enough to win games in the regular season" did not translate into playoff wins when it mattered. But we'll never know "what if" because all those injuries did happen. Also none of us knew the extent of both Drew and MT's injuries, which were only revealed after the loss. I think those injuries affected the game plan and the outcome, but who really knows

Of course injuries hurt, but I personally can't blame this loss of them when I can still so vividly envision Jared Cook holding the football out for anyone to take. It was very winnable right until we got sloppy. Regular season or postseason, it was still the Bucs, and we gifted them with a lot of easy points because of undisciplined football. If Cook holds on to the ball instead of fumbling or catches that pass instead of letting it get intercepted, I believe we win.
