I guess I'm not the only one who thinks Drew Brees is pretty damned special.

IN OTHER WORDS FINISH STRONG. close out the competition! stop letting teams linger around, giving them hope!

W R O N G ...

Drew threw crisp passes and looked sharp when he wasn't running for his life or getting hit.

Don't forget he ran a flawless come from behind drive at the end.

It is well deserved.

Even playing hurt and "dinking & dunking" passes was also attributed to them trying to give our young receivers some consistency & confidence.

Also NBC showed the difference in Drew's throwing motion compared to years past. It has definitely changed due to the injuries in 2014 & 2015.

However it shows Drew's competitiveness, toughness, can do attitude & leadership.

The rest of the team as a whole sucks. Why you continue to try to blame it all on the best player on our roster I a haven't a clue. Tom Brady has won four Super Bowls dinking and frickin dunking.

What is your problem?

Crap, this will just give him more ammo for a pricey extension.
