Saints Offense
-I thought our rushing yards/attempt would be higher
-That's really the only negative I could find about the offense.

Bucs Offense
-Their offense is great on 3rd down. Hopefully we can slow them down.
-Their turnover differential is pathetic. If we lose this game...it will be b/c we lose the turnover battle imo. That's why they have a losing record with all those yards they put up. Well, that & they can't stop the run or pass.

Saints Defense
-Big recent improvement in Points/Game.
-Big recent improvement in sacks.
-Still need to get better on 3rd down.

Bucs Defense
-I'm surprised at how good their 3rd down % is. Giving up big plays on 1st/2nd down might skew that number though.
-similar to us, their pass rush has gotten much better recently. JPP not playing would help out, but they still wouldn't be helpless without him. This will probably be their biggest threat to our offense.

DE - JPP *Vinny Curry would probably be the rush end here if JPP can't go*
DT - Gerald MCCoy
DT - Vita Vea
DE - Carl Nassib

I have a feeling with the weather, their passing stats will take a dip...

and they have zero ground game...

3rd down percentage is high. I think that the number of short 3rds and 4ths that have been converted contributes to this number.

Apple Jack better bring his A game. Defense needs to bring the heat but don't knock Winston out of the game...We don't want Fitzpatrick in the game..If he comes in it will be like the last time..He loves to be the big hero.
