However he threw a Career high 4 interceptions, none of which If I recall correctly can be attributed to receivers playing "tip drill" lol.

The pass doesn't have to be tipped to be attributed to the lack of protections from the O line.

Count to two and there's Carlos Rodgers in YOUR face...

Okay, INT #1 - did Betts turn the wrong way or did Brees throw the wrong way?

INT #2 - Brees caught and trying to throw to Devery but the lineman made a circus grab (6pts)

INT #3 - Brees doesn't see the lineman drop back the slide over, throws it right to him (6pts)

INT #4 - All Brees, trying to force too much.

This. This reminded me of the AZ game where the oline got sissy whipped. Drew was running around the entire game and in the NFL, if you get to the QB you win the game.

The four INTs: on one Betts runs an out instead of an in. Another was a deep throw "punt" at the end of the first half. Another was a tip at the line then the ball bounced off a Saints players back and back into the hands of a Brown.

The last one was just him pressing.

I think SP was sending the message by leaving him in instead of taking him out, basically saying "You got us in this hole, you get us out"

another thought is that he STILL was our best chance to get back in the game

Yes, he should have been have benched - in the 4th quarter when the game was clearly over and it was garbage time.

What if he had been injured on that last meaningless drive? We would be calling for Payton's head today.

Nope. Sorry, but have to disagree. This is a rhythm offense and Brees a rhythm QB. They needed to create something positive from this game and benching your star QB wasn't necessary bc with Brees in we always have a chance.

I guess I'm old school. Mop-up duty is for bench players, and that last drive was more meaningless than a preseason TD.

"Mop-up duty" to me means we're up by 30 points.

What happened Sunday vs the Browns was more like "You better find a way to right the ship in times of despair".

Damn right I leave my QB in.
