The second pick-6 was a team effort. Drew had to rush his throw because of lack of protection. Despite that, he threw a ball that was high, but catchable. Colston got annihilated and couldn't hold make the catch (still not sure how that wasn't a hit on a defenseless receiver...I really don't get that rule sometimes). After the pick it seemed like no one on the team even tried to make the tackle.

I still don't get why we seem to give up on the run so quickly. We were averaging, what, 3-4 yards/carry? Not exactly burning up the stat sheet, but enough to keep defenses honest.

Rule 1 for receivers from Highschool up... If it hits your hands you better catch it.

The ball is out of Colstons hands before he is hit. That black dot on top of the 0 on the 40 is the ball already out of his hands.

He was defensless but it was not knocked out of his hands.

Are you kidding me? Didn't have anything to do with the 5 sacks or constant pressure I guess. One of the pick's was on Brees and the other was a tip anyway.

Re: Drew Brees is turning into Brett Favre...

Both picks are on Brees. First one he stared down Jimmy the whole time, never looked the LB off to the right. Second one was way too high. I don't want to hear it hit his hands BS. Colston was 3 feet in the air fully extended just to touch that ball. You don't throw that pass to your #1 receiver over the middle unless you're trying to get him killed. With all that said I blame the play calling or lack of. You know the 9ers can rush the passer, why are we calling long developing plays? Throw some quick slants, run a couple toss sweeps. Roll Brees out of the pocket a little, don't just stand in the pocket and get sacked because you're playing a 4th string RT. Carmichael blew this game.

You realize you're quoting me from almost 7 weeks ago right?

Re: Drew Brees is turning into Brett Favre...

Time is running out. We may not get another franchise quarterback for 50 years. Payton and crew have to have a defense next year. Drafting defensive players has to be more successfull. All the high picks on Defensive lineman yield us no pass rush. Nobody can tackle. Look at the Niners and Ravens defenses, pass rush of the Giants. We ought to have at least a little defense.

How did Favre do that year his HC was out and all that legal stuff was happening?

However, Brees is not playing well this season at all. He looks lost, there is no doubt about it.

You really so ?
