Besides a poorly time call corner blitz and acclimating after the 1st drive. They played lights out.

Defense and Special teams carried this one. We will take the W and be happy...Brees and Payton looked worse than the Min game and they are still playing a very short field , we are redefining dinking and dunking, defenses not respecting the pass and pinning their ears back penetrating every play inside and out on the line, 94 yards passing going into 4th and missed passes all over the field for Brees, Payton's calls were cute and predictable , many losses behind the line..have improve here going forward we will not always have blocked field goals and pic 6's to bail us out
The offense for both teams looked like a preseason game, which honestly is what I expected. There were very nice signs, though. They will get more in sync.
But if anyone still wants to gripe about Drew's arm strength, they need to check out the 46 yard pass to Cook on the first TD drive, 40+ yards of which was in the air.
Agreed. I don't know that we were fully prepared for Tampa's defense. They will be a much more challenging matchup when we face them again in Florida.

I thought the Oline played poorly, especially the interior. Peat looks overpaid.
And the playcalling and scheme on O are just bad. As others said the opponents D is teeing off due to lack of any downfield passing game. The pass to Cook seemed to show Brees can still do it. So why are we not?
D was pretty good outside of the DPIs, which were very tiki tacky. Would have liked to see more pressure on the QB. Where was Granderson, didn’t notice him...with Davenport out I thought he’d be more involved.
ST was great.
I missed that thanks!Granderson is the one that caused the Brady fumble.
Yeah I thought he had a few good playsGranderson is the one that caused the Brady fumble.
