Quote:At one point in the game, the Saints had something like 20+ yards to go to get a first down.  It was 3rd and VERY long.

 

Before it even got to third down, I predicted the Saints would somehow convert and keep the drive going.

 

Then Brees hit the bomb to Cooks.

 

No way anyone can make that prediction if we were talking about a team with a competent pass rush.

I believe that was the drive that started at the 2 for them?

 

I looked right at my buddy and said, Brees is going to drive them all the way down for a TD

 

LITTLE DID I KNOW.... it wouldn't be much of a drive... but a fly by instead.

 

Couple chunks and then boom, 3rd and forever turns into a TD.

 

Yes we get sacks. (Hooray) But we don't get enough pressure to get off the field on 3rd down. And we don't apply enough pressure to force bad throws.

Which is why we have like.... 5 or less INTs on the team.

 

Sacks are great.

But sacks alone make not a championship defense.
