Thought it was going to be different today also especially given that the defense did enough. Offense completely lost it after the 2nd TD drive.

We lived on the big play. 41 yard pass and 75 yard run. Other than that New England took away the short stuff, but that is all we basically tried. That is all that it takes. Take away the short passing. I'm not putting that on Herbert because he can pass intermediate to deep better the can short. But the play calling when this is obvious is absolutely wretched.

Nothing wrong with a pass play. You need a TD to win. You try to play a clock management field goal game and you will lose against Brady.

You can still run on first down and force them to waste a timeout, while still being aggressive on 2nd and 3rd down.

If they run on that 1st down, and 2nd/3rd down go the same way as it just did, then you take 2 timeouts away from Tampa.  They now have one still.  Makes all the difference, especially vs. Brady.

Especially when you end up with a field goal anyway and Saints have almost certainly lost the game.
