What's Up With Drew Brees

No O-line. However, even when he does have time to throw he's been throwing junk balls.
Drew threw a ball way too high for Deuce and now Deuce is out for the year.
I love Drew. I hope that this team gets better before the Panthers. If not, I may have to sell my ticket for the Seattle/Saints game.

I agree whole-heartedly. Though its trendy to blame the poor play across the on the blocking, even when DB has time his passing is inaccurate and has no touch. This is the kind of arm I feared I would see last year. By no means have I given up on him (I think he's closer to the guy who played last year), but it concerns me that under the pressure of things not going right, he plays badly.

I've been saying this type thing for the past few weeks. Everyone here keeps saying "O-line" "O-line" "O-line" "O-line". Then, when you mention Drew not not being accurate and needing to suck it up and figure out why he's 75% of the problem, people ask if you saw the same game they did or, they'll wanna sell you a bridge in a desert, etc etc. Truth is that as soon as Drew gets his accuracy back the O-line will magically be playing better.

That isn't the truth... far from it. If you get a line he'll get the confidence and he'll make plays. You can't make plays if you are wondering if your horrible O-line is going to stop a 320 pound DT from flattening you ass. He is what you call Shell-shocked. You have to depend on your team-mates and they aren't getting it done.

Here is more proof... go and actually watch the games and cound how man seconds Brees has before he has to step up or make a move. He doesn't have much time to even set his feet before he has to worry about running or dodging someone. Buy him sometime and he'll come around and WR will get open.

I knew the O Line was in trouble before the season started. Why? Because I heard an announcer going on about what a great O Line New Orleans has.

I knew it was over as soon as I heard that.

I don't have every game taped or I would. Give me a place I can get them from or a torrent where I can d/l them and I'll go look at it.
