YES, it's been widely known on Twitter that Drew has been un-dead since 2011.
Makes his arm noodle-ey and very difficult to control.

Re: Brees Out versus Panthers
 

Well Brees was hurt so there's one answer. Also, factor in TB was playing the QB who got overlooked by them the minute he lost the BCS title game, of course he was fired up and Tennessee backed him up. Titans also have creamed offenses on the road holding them to less than 15 points the last three season openers now. TB also made the mistake of not running the ball consistently as that is Tennessee's biggest weakness. I actually thought we were not sweeping the bucs again, and would lose one or both games because the first being at home(I have 3-3 division). I was not surprised to see a 0-2 start. I at one point picked a 0-2 start that would end up 4-2(it depends if we can have a better offense than Atlanta week 6). However, if we lose this game to Carolina we will win the home game. So it doesn't matter. I always think it's the matchups not running out of strength winning so many games. We can go 0-3 and still beat Dallas, Atlanta, New York, Tennessee all at home, and at Washington or Philadelphia and end up 5-5 before the bye week. And if we win our last three home games and win in Atlanta we can get to 9-7. But honestly look at Indy. They are not this feared offense, jets defense beat them in their own place. We can certainly give them a game. So it is even possible we could go 6-4 before the bye.

Am I overthinking? Maybe, but the two matchups we played are better than those games(minus Indy) due to one having weapons(yes bucs have weapons) and the other being at home and being well rounded. Giants have Odell and a crappy RBBC, Tennessee could pose a challenge if we don't run the ball, Philadelphia is learning why Bradford is a bad qb(can't spread the ball around, doesn't force it to Matthews), Washington has a bad qb, Atlanta will be on short rest and our most hated rival, and Dallas is without their two biggest players and have no stud running attack.

Hey lee909!

After McCown's first series of plays in the first quarter, as he walks back to the sidelines, lets hope Sean Payton isn't saying "You Stupid Boy"!! :-) :-)

Hopefully he's saying "great touchdown pass Luke"! :-)

For some bizarre reason I'm actually looking forward to the game on Sunday.
Guess its because there are a lot of unknown factors being thrown into this one which will be interesting to see!

GEAUX SAINTS!! . . . . . . . WHO DAT!!

Re: Brees Out versus Panthers
 

Please tell me why anyone is excited after the way Luke looked in preseason. I mean he isn't brunell, but I'm not expecting much. Hope I'm surprised but don't expect it. Now it is very possible the rest of the team steps up

Re: Brees Out versus Panthers
 

I think there's some relief that they finally made the announcement that Brees isn't playing. Everyone has been kind of combing the headlines waiting for news. That and very few are "expecting" to win this game and most don't expect to win at all. So its kind of a relief that there's not as much pressure because no one is giving us a chance in hell. So if we pull it off great. If not...no biggie.

Hell I remember this type of feeling back in the day when we were awful year in and year out. I never expected a win, but I was always excited to see if they could pull it off.

Basically, expectations are low and optimism is high.

Not so sure that's a feeling I wanna get used to again. I like expecting us to kick everyone's ass.

So lets get a win with Luke and get Brees back next week! Time for a win streak!!!

Re: Brees Out versus Panthers
 

You're a weird fan. You can't stand Drew Brees. You blame every loss last year on the offense (which is insane) and it seems that you enjoy the suffering of other fans. You act like you know everything and that we as fans, and the Saints front office should be going to you with questions about this franchise.

Wow. Really annoying.

Re: Brees Out versus Panthers
 

Sign Tebow, at least there would be something interesting to the season. Face facts it's Over! It was fun being the best team in the NFL for a long time just hope it doesn't take 40 years for it to come around again.
