I'm not saying it can't happen, but Drew can almost get 1 TD pass a game with his eyes closed...

Sorry, but I really doubt if they give the supposed bounty much thought. They know better than we do how overblown this whole thing was.

What is the record?

.
... man, that's one record I never thought would even come close to being broken ...

Brees is at 43. That's why it'll be broken against the Chargers. Unless I miss-counted and he's at 42, then he'll only tie it there.

The consecutive games with TD pass streak started in week 6 of the 2009 season against the giants so just count upwards

Maybe that was godell's target all along. My brother's a die hard Unitas fan and is sure rooting against it. What if the dictator's feeling the same way?

Well the thing I kinda worry about is that any time the Saints get in the red zone next year, defenses may start thinking, pass pass pass, the Saints are going to pass. Which could make it harder to get in. Obviously it's more complex than that, but I think he will have better luck with long bombs and relying on yards after catch. In the red zone people will definitely be defending against the pass, knowing that it's coming at some point. Especially Jimmy Graham, although I'm not sure he CAN be defended against.
