Our offense really sputtered today. Minchew couldn’t find the magic, but the good news is it was a NFC team.

The Texans beat KC, but we’re still not out of it. Sitting at 2-4 with Cincy and Jets coming up should get us back to .500

I get your point. I said in the week this is probably the best all round team we will play all season.

But this wasn't the Saints playing their A game. Backup QB, RB with an injured ankle. Bridgewater missed a lot of open throws today and it was more Bridgewater missing his man than us making a stop. 

Now the Saints D is very good, but when we have a team like the Saints, at home, not playing great, you have to find a way to take advantage. They have a strong backfield so tight coverage and a D line that gets pressure but it's the NFL, you arent going to get busted D's every play. Your going to have to beat them.

This is where I want to see the team fight through adversity, I want to see them try and change the momentum of a game. I think back to the game at home against Houston in 2017. We just came out and smashed them in the mouth for 30 minutes and we were up 40 something at the half. Take control of a game.

I'm not putting this on Minshew or the O, just as a team, we dont take advantage of the parts of games that we could do.
