No ones going to point a finger at Drew, huh?

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; No, no one is giving him a pass. Misread routes. No one was there to catch the ball or was off by some distance. He was way off today. Too much, too late and the clock ran out today. He ...

Re: No ones going to point a finger at Drew, huh?

No, no one is giving him a pass. Misread routes. No one was there to catch the ball or was off by some distance.
He was way off today. Too much, too late and the clock ran out today.
He missed the mini-camp while dealing with contract issues.
Could that be a reason for his rustiness? I sure hope not. Training camp is over. Too late to make training camp now.

We are Saints fans, still.
Still, this current team has some wins.
We can also say, we know, Brees will regroup himself and team. They came back today, then lost it on their own and his mishaps too. Much to practice on and film to review for this week.

Dew and oline sucked. But we sucked on all fronts of the game

Re: No ones going to point a finger at Drew, huh?

How do you only run the ball 10 times?
I thought Sean Payton was at home.
That has a whole lot to do with the passing efficiency.
How do you throw the ball 52 times?
Drew is MOST efficient when there is at least a threat of balance.
Our running attack was somewhere around 2 carries per quarter.
Drew only gets his FAIR share of the blame, and there was plenty to go around.

Kromer said the offensive penalties had the game-plan screwed up, I can understand that.

Kind of hard to run when you're in 1st,2nd, and 3rd and longs and behind in the score...

The TEAM looked like crap 2day! Drew's passes for the bin, the receivers seemed like having vaseline on their gloves, defense was not existing. F****d up season opener, but we will go to the play offs. Trust me...



Somewhere over the rainbow!

Re: No ones going to point a finger at Drew, huh?

The offense stunk but almost pulled out a win.

a couple of hand grenades or horses hitting a bit closer we could have pulled the game out of our ....

no one player is to blame. this was a unit failure.

if i was to point a finger it would be the OTs but they would not be alone. like i said the unit as a whole did everything to give the skins a blow out.

Well, im not a poosy. Ya'll can shame me to hell if you want, but, he looked like crap, today, too.

Sure, his protection in the pocket was shoddy all day, but, man. He made some horrible passes today and just couldnt seem to find open recievers. He completed what, 45% of his passes?

I know Drew can do no wrong. I love the guy. I named my daughter after him, but, he's gotta shoulder a lot of the blame today.
I'm not sure if you were in live chat today, but Drew got plenty of hammering by several people, including me. Our team sucked today, from the QB down to the frikkin waterboy. Now if I remember correctly though, I remember about a third of Drews passes dropped. How many receivers had BOTH hands on the ball and just dropped it. More than I can remember. Yes, Drew deserves blame for the game today, but save enough for the other 52 players, all the coaches, all the coordinators, everyone on that team, because they all sucked today.

Re: No ones going to point a finger at Drew, huh?

Colston fumbled in last year's opener and we lost that one by 8 also.

We have 5 RB's and we ran 10 running plays.

Our screens are why we're famous and they were nonexistent. At what point did we decide to revamp the most effective offense the league has ever seen? (See; Drew Brees passing record)

Ingram had better start earning his money. His Heisman is made of paper.

We over-utilized Graham and under-utilized Lance until it was too late.

I miss Robert Meachem.

We scored a special teams touchdown and still lost. Who does that?

Lofton is the future of the Saints LB corps. No doubt.

O-Line... Let's see, where to we start? LOL Didn't we have an O-Lineman in the Pro Bowl last year? Where'd he go?

I want to love Roman Harper, but REALLY, isn't he the same Roman Harper who was run down by a rookie QB and has he improved since Seattle? NO.

The only one who DID his JOB was number 5. I still won't say his name, sorry.

Drew is now worth 100 mil and now throws for 40-something percent completions? Jus' sayin... Maybe if he would have attended more of training camp? Maybe?

Props to RGIII. Wow. Composure under pressure.

I'm a SORE loser. No hiding that. Flame away. I'm a big boy.
