Nit-picking

I feel like the talent I not on display and we go into regression mode for a quarter or two in almost each game.

We see flashes of SICKNESS but then we can play so FLAT.

 

Eh, I don't think so. It's not like they're playing high school teams.

Even in the most lopsided victories — when we drubbed the Oilers 61-17 or when Brees went nearly  perfect 31-of-35 and five touchdowns against the Colts a few years ago — no team scores every play. The opposing offense is going to make plays. So is their defense.

Just because we don't score every touch, or even every fourth touch, doesn't mean we're flat. Sometimes it just means the other team is running hot. We just have to be in position to capitalize when they cool off. And, so far, we are.
