re: In all honesty if cook don't fumble

What does the fact that a mid 3rd quarter turnover (that led to a a tie) felt like an insurmountable lead for your QB/offense say about how you feel for your QB/offense?

That isn't taking into account what that turnover provided for the Bucs. They weren't able to stop the offense on the first two drives of the second half when Cook fumbled. After that the Bucs had all of the momentum and their defensive backs started playing tighter giving Brees nearly no room to fit balls in to the receivers. You can act like it's Brees fault and he certainly didn't have a great game, but plays like the Cook fumble completely change the way teams play. Had he not fumbled and the Saints are up 14 entering the 4th quarter, you'd probably see the Saints defense clamp down with all of the spirit and momentum on their side. That cook fumble completely lost the game for the Saints.
