Smallest, yet hardest to cover. He's dancing Salsa while the rest of our receivers are hugged up against defenders like it's couples dance.

Don't ask me where that analogy came from....:beer:

Maybe Brees knew how bad the receiving Corp was and thats why he just checked down to Kamara every play.

Re: Observations from Saints Loss to the FailClowns
 

Nawh... He made average WRs into above average with his decisions and quick release and catchable ball, even if he had a noodle arm at the end of his career.

Right. Brees spoiled us. Made it look easier than it actually was.

Rare breed. Canton awaits.

All true.

I don’t understand why some people seem so surprised that our offense is struggling. Did anyone honestly think we could lose a HOF QB and still keep consistently winning without missing a beat? Nobody seemed to think the players we lost due to the salary cap issues would make a difference either. I’m not really talking about members here but it seems like most people are shocked by where we are right now. It’s the price you pay for having 16 years of success.
It’s obvious Payton has been slowly making a transition to a team with a run first offense and stout defense. His mistake was putting all his eggs in the Michael Thomas basket when it comes to the passing game.

Winning numbers if the D does it's job and receivers don't drop 8 passes

Lost a fumble on a sack, right?
