Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us

Can you talk about why you dressed as Iron Man to take your son Baylen trick or treating?
“Yes, first of all, I do not pick my Halloween costumes. It’s my son, so Baylen’s old enough now that he can tell me what I’m going to wear for Halloween, so he was going as little Iron Man. I was going to be daddy Iron Man. Unfortunately at the last second, he did not want to put on his Iron Man costume. He decided to go with pajamas instead, so he rolled in pajamas and bare feet with his Koala bear stuffed animal trick or treating until he ate the first or second piece of candy, got on a quick sugar high and then we couldn’t keep up with him.” How would Sean Payton handle the situation you guys are going through right now? “Just stick together. I think this is when a lot of teams or maybe less mentally tough individuals would start pointing the finger and starting getting overly frustrated or pessimistic. That’s not our mentality. That’s not the way we’ve been brought up so to speak in this organization with this foundation we’ve built. There’s never a more important time to circle the wagons and rally around each other and make it about each week once at a time. We can’t look at anything else. We can’t look at the rest of our schedule. We can’t look at our division. We can’t look at anything other than how do we win this week? I feel like that’s the approach we’ve taken this entire season. I feel like we’ve gotten better every week with the exception of last week. Last week was extremely disappointing, the result of the game and our overall performance as a team, just did not play up to our standard, certainly with the hype going into that game and we were all hurt by it, but it also lights a fire within all of us that we don’t want that to be the lasting memory that people have of our team. We’re better than that and we need to show them on Monday night.” Do you try to think about what Sean would do in that situation? “In my mind and for all the guys that have been around Sean, I think you know the things he would be preaching maybe to you and to the team. Joe Vitt has been around Sean Payton longer than all of us, so he knows Sean and so a lot of the things Joe Vitt is saying now are reminiscent of things Sean has said in the past when we’ve been in tough situations. Maybe it’s not something where we are going to hear this specific story, but we’ve heard some Joe Vitt stories that have been very applicable to our situation.” Read more: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us Another article: Joe Vitt: We That fire should have been lit 9 weeks ago Drew. |
Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
I've heard the same thing after every loss
"This game has lit a fire under us" The fact the NFL tried to dismantle the team should have lit the fire! |
Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
If blowing a 24-6 lead to a team that has not had the lead for a second in a single game this year didn't do the trick, then why would getting your collective offensive & defensive a$$es handed to you by a very good Denver team strike the match that lit a fire under you?

Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
It's time to start positioning for the draft...minus our forfeited 2nd...minus the pick we gave up for Barrett Ruud. That leaves us with 5 picks. Great.

Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
I remember reading something along the lines of we could have our 2nd round pick back but we would have to give up 2 or 3 later round picks. Maybe someone can help me out with that because I know I read it on this board.

More sunshine in the pump.
Great. Show me. Alaska |
Day late and a lotta dollars short, Drew.
Lost the attitude . You just got out scored by QBs from Washington-Carolina-Kansas City. If that didn't lite the fire, losing to Peyton Manning wont. Play like your paid to play & we win. No one can keep up. We have a bad defense but the offense is seriously underperforming. Best defense is points on the board. |

In 2009 we won it all by scoring 100+ points on the 3 best teams. This year we started by scoring 83 against 3 bottom feeders. That one score a game changes a lot. Don't get me wrong the defense is bad but the offense isn't helping any.

Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
For some reason I keep seeing the old Jim Mora "Playoffs" quote
With a reference to "Lit a fire" instead. With everything that has happened to this team over the last year. A lousy showing on a national stage is not what I believed would "lit a fire under this team". |
Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
Talk is cheap. And we have no Defense to speak of.

Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
Something tells me we beat the Eagles, lose a squeaker to the Falcons, and then the wheels come completely off...

$100 million don't burn Drew. And it consumes what little talent there is on the team.

Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
No, The SUPER BOWL that you WON lit a fire.
WITHIN US. THE FANS. Now, play football, you now-paid-prima-donna!!! Alaska |
Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
blah, blah blah. The fire should have been lit on week 1.

Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
Drew Brees is an exceptional QB. He is seriously a once in a lifetime event. With that said, he is on the down spiral of his career. He will indeed make a little noise and get close again, or do it again, who knows. What we do know is the defense is going to have a major rebuild after this season. The offense is not too far away, it is about 2 years into the future of having to rebuild that unit too.
I guess the point I am trying to make is time is quickly running out on the Saints. Right now is the time. It has been time for the past few years, but it didn't happen. Eventually Brees is going to be a washed up QB just trying to hang on. I just hope for the life of me the Saints don't have to go like 10 years before getting some hope. |
Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
Had he shown up to training camp on time instead of squeezing a few more million dollars out of the team we wouldn't need to have fires lit...
That I do blame him for... He didn't exactly play the greatest games week 1-3. |

Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
It's the same old song and dance. I've been hearing this since the reds kind loss. "We all need to look at ourselves in the mirror" "we're gonna get better" "we're on the verge of breaking out" and after RGIII and Newton. All I heard was "I'm glad were playing a pocket QB" well I'm tired of all their excuses. Admit u suck and go out there and put on a piss poor performance.

Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
I know Drew has said this same type of thing before; but THIS time, he REALLY means it!
|
Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
At this point I'm ready for Drew to buy us a defense.
|
Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
They say that after evry loss this year and still no results. They would have to win every remaining game to prove what they are saying as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
Sounds like Drew is prepping for a post-football political foray

If I remember correctly we had 6 of them returned for TD's Our offense is scoring early but then going 3 and out in the worst possible times, our defense is pathetic but our offense puts us in bad position late in the game when Carmichael goes conservative with his playcalling |
Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
If Sean Payton was here he'd shove a box of matches in everybodys arse!

Re: Drew Brees: The Denver Broncos Game Lit a Fire Within All of Us
I just wanna know what everyone wants him to say? Should he just say this defense is complete **** everytime some one asks him a question? He doesn't have the answer so his giving the company line like he should instead of being a tool and throwing everyone under a bus...which everyone would chastise him for too. He can't appease anyone either way....

Outside of a shaky line this year, absolutely no running game, and a defense that many times has us down and in a position where we have to throw, where is the drop off? |

That last line, I agree. The fact that the TPTB -The Powers That Be wanted to dismantle this team....enuff said!!!:bng: Add that the media is just knocking them. Other teams and fans are making fun of them. When are they going to catch that fire??!?!??! This current team and coaching staff are too good for these awful loses. They need to start acting like they want to win and win like they can. Here, get fired up! |

I was one hopping Brees just had a two-year contract really good, though, paying him for what he did not get , but earned the first years. Four -year contract is way too long. I agree about the rebuliding years. This current team of many coaches, players, brining in new ones too HAD , HAD about another two years shelf life. Seems, last year was it and now, is the start of downhill and folks after this year, it is really downhill. Still, always, :bng: |
