Brees coming back

MatthewT · 05-17-2022, 07:31 AM

For many years, all I heard was give Brees an average or better defense and the Saints will win Super Bowls. Well, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. One can make a valid argument that the defense was plenty good enough all those years, and the Saints did not get it done. Not trying to pin all those failures on Brees, but the truth is he was very inconsistent in the post season everyone of those years. Guess the short of it is no thanks, moving on, lets see what Winston can do.

It's all SP's fault for those three precious real, now wasted, opportunities.

He needs to cover the TE in that SF playoff loss. Common sense and we win.
Those two miracle last second plays, Lambs and Minnihaha, you ask... they don't even occur if he knows the rule book like BB does. BB taught us that rule which now no longer exists.

Kinda hard to win those big games (Rams NFC title games) when Brees is throwing to the likes of Dan Arnold and Tommy Lee Lewis 😳 in crucial moments.

Cooper Kupp Would'a caught that ball in spite of hitting the ground after the ball did in the "Non Call Game"!! Oh that's right Flagrant Pass Interference only happens during "Crucial Moments"😳

Kamara gets the PI call in the Rams game. Why is TLL even in the game at that point. I blame Sean, trying to out smart everyone using TLL.

Knowing the rulebook trumps all of the above, with all due respect.

So does enforcing those rules.

Agreed on your comment if referenced to the non-call. But the now closed BB loophole was a dead ball foul. So no choice but to enforce it. And those miracle plays don't even exist.

Besides, he's done.

As player:
Lets save him from himself, chip in to buy a fork and mail it to him. Throw in a picture of Favre and a sticky note that says "don't be that guy".

As a QB coach:
Lets make room for him. His work ethic and drive alone would elevate any team.
