He threw it into triple coverage and hit Colston right in the hands. A lot of the problems that people want lay on Brees are receiver issues. Colston should have caught that. If he had we wouldn't have been sweating out the last two minutes.

We all know these are professionals out there, but you can't expect a guy to hang on when he's getting hit from three different directions as the ball is hitting his hands. That's blatantly unrealistic. Just because it got to him doesn't mean it was a good pass. You never throw into triple coverage. Devery's drops were more damaging.

But that said, I don't think anyone would blame drew if we had lost. Again, the playcalling was vanilla down the stretch. That's all on coaching.

Ah nuts! The fact he got his hands on that pass in that coverage was amazing. We have to stop dropping crossing routes that should go for easy short yardage pickup and first downs. Ran the ball well throughout the game when needed and didn't fumble which was huge. Turnovers were a wash and in a close game at home that is paramount!

Drop by hendy, JG, and Colston

Oline was little shaky too.

Overall good win, good game. D let up a lot of yards, but got soem stops too. Not where it needs to be, but getting better
