Don’t you dare blame Jameis

How many 3 and out drives did Jameis lead? If he had just moved the ball for atleast 3 first downs in any of those possessions, Packers wouldn't have had time to score 18 points, defense wouldn't have been spent, and Saints walk away with a win. So yes, Jameis would be the primary factor in this lost today. Not the only, just primary.
Context is important here.

At that point in the game Pete Carmichael was just trying to not lose the game he felt the defense had already won.

There was a clear difference between the first few drives in body language, urgency , play calling with the last drive that Jameis drove us to what should have been the game winning field goal.


When we are going for it with Jameis it looks different. We are going deep , we are testing the defenses jaw routinely , not all this 3 yard curl bullsh
