You seem upset.Will the Saints be bounced out of the playoffs in dramatic fashion for a third year in a row? Not even trolling.

Tomato, potato GremlinBears play Oakland at noon local time. That is not primetime. That is literally when 7 other games kick off at the same time. No one counts the London game as primetime.

Nope. I don't give a shit how they get wins only that they get wins. Teams have a much harder time having to deal with a spread the ball offense over offenses that routinely feature one player that gets the bulk of the touches. I couldn't care less if that means few 100+ yard receiving games from players.
Not relying on Cohen so much & getting our actual WRs more involved was my whole point. Have WRs who only have a big game once a year is not enough to me. Different guys could have a big game from week to week. That only happened in 4 games last year.

We go thru this every year, not sure why people get so worked up over the schedule. One or two of those reams you mentioned will play worse than expected, it happens every year.I know a lot changes in a year, but man, we play all the top teams: Saints, Rams, Eagles, KC, Chargers & Fudge Packers twice....
No cupcake schedule this year. Gotta put points on the board consistently.
Furthermore, had the Saints won that game instead of that terrible call, it wouldn't have mattered as the Bears would have shut them down ... just like the Rams.
Barnwell did a study on a Brees' last month and Manning's last month of 2014. He came to the conclusion that Manning's awful 2015 season was foreshadowed in late 2014. Brees had similar Manning '14 stats late in 2018. Might be Brees' last season....Totally ready for the Primetime Games as they tend to favor strong defensive play and in case you have not noticed yet....defense is the Chicago Bears' jam! Too bad the Saints/Bears did not make it to a late start. Those two defenses head-to-head would be a blast.
Speaking of the Saints...has the OP began to worry about his QB yet? Sure looked long in the tooth down the stretch and is now a full decade removed from the Super Bowl MVP Season. Not trying to derail or troll...super cereal question.

That's true. Manning also had injuries that expedited his drop off. I'll try to find the article and post laterInteresting. When Manning was on the Broncos, I always expected him to fall off a cliff because he lost his arm strength after the neck injury. Its kind of amazing that he lasted as long as he did. The 2nd half of Manning's 2014 wasn't very good, but it still wasn't nearly as bad as his 2015 season...so to say it was "foreshadowed" is probably a stretch.
Brees didn't do as well in late 2018, but neither did the Saints in general. They had won 10 games in a row and were the best team in the NFL, but then they lost to Dallas and never really regained their spark. Brees wasn't great in the postseason, but he wasn't terrible either. I would be surprised if Brees had a "Peyton Manning drop" next year, but who knows.
