You can’t win without throwing deep!

Not a single ball travelled more than 20 yards in air. 

We run a very similar system. Remember that.

 

On the flip side, how in the hell we sat back and let this happen I’ll never know. Everyone and their dog knew what the Saints were going to do especially with Thomas and Sanders out. Everyone except Phil Snow I guess

Yes, but Carolina is a mid-tier defense at absolute best. The comment is that you won't beat top-tier defenses in this way, as perhaps evidenced last week vs Chicago.

Meanwile Nick Foles and JimmyG keep getting away with checkdowns and the occasional shots.

Maybe its because they both have good defenses Idk.

Anyway op our problem today is our LBs are bad in zone (check how often Shaq waits til the ball is about to be thrown to break) and then the players underneath miss tackles.

And Brees too for that matter, though he's several levels better than them and the offensive scheme is as well.

Look at how far it's taken the Saints in the past decade though.

Yep I can’t remember which 3rd down conversion it was (there was too many) that Kamara was running a crossing route and Shaq sat wait back for absolutely no reason resulting in a 1st down. Brutal

And also nothing anywhere near the left sideline and only 25% of attempts left of the hash, and less than 50% left of the right hash itself. Interesting.

The main reason the saints have lost their last two playoff game Is Brees inability to throw deep. Can you win? Yeah, but it get a whole lot harder

Agreed, defense came into this game 11th ranked against the pass but we couldnt get noodle arm brees off the field not one time? 

This was unacceptable.
