Amazing!

He also has not thrown a 300 yd game, has 7 fumbles, and was sacked 44 times.

He has also lost only 2 of those fumbles, and 20 of those sacks came in 3 games (DAL - 5, BAL - 9, AZ - 6).

Passing yardage has got to be the most skewed, overrated stat there is. Most times, high passing totals are the result of having to overcompensate for a bad D, or to dig teams out of a hole.

Brees will likely throw for 300+ against us. Possibly even 400, since we are susceptible to the big play.

I'm fine with the W and a trip to the NFCC game.

If you think Brees throws for 400 and you still get the win, you're delusional...

Drew scores off the big play; it's not uncommon for us to score without even sniffing the redzone
