Yeah... I don't quite understand how everyone says that Drew had a "down" season this year. Yes, he threw 5 int's against the Falcons in that one game, but it was hardly a down year for our Breesus. I mean, for God's sake apparently everyone expected him to have some kind of superhman season when in reality Drew's had worse seasons when Sean wasn't suspended. I guess blame has to placed somewhere, but come on... Drew was hadly the reason for our struggles.

ALL of this.

" we're still fresh off the end of the season, so it's still not a good feeling."

Drew Brees.

There were some close games we could have won if not for the offense and Brees. Of course our defense sucks but this was not a typical Brees performance for the year whatever the reason he was part of the failure.

You're right, he had some bad games and they cost us probably 2 wins this year. On the other hand without him playing like the superstar he is in most of the games we definitely wouldn't have won 7. Dropped passes also cost us at least two games this year.

How many of those interceptions happened because Brees had to throw passes he wouldn't have unless he felt like he had to score every time we had the ball? How many of them were forced because no one was open? We scored 29 pts per game and still lost 9 games. Think about the implications of that fact. What do think that does to a QBs decision process? Knowing the 30 points a game isn't enough to win means you're going to have to take some chances you'd rather not have to make.

Criticism is one thing, haterade is a whole different thing and that's what I find repulsive.

Here are the results... In Stats so people can draw conclusions from fact and not fiction.

Sorry anyone, I can not fault our offense or anyone on the offense... Know why I have come to that conclusion?

Out of the TOP 12 teams in scoring we are 3rd and the ONLY team that didn't make the playoffs. ALL other 11 top scoring teams made it. Our offense in its ENTIRETY played playoff caliber ball.

NFL Stats: by Team Category

Defense 2nd to last in points allowed.

Portions of our offense are blamed? BS! I don't care if Drew threw 50 interceptions, when your offense is 3rd in the league in scoring and you don't make the playoffs, its not lack of scoring that kept you out of the playoffs, its failure to stop other teams from scoring that kept you out of the playoffs..

Yes it is that simple victory in the NFL is determined by the differential of points scored vs points allowed. It doesn't matter whether you pass, run, punt, intercept.. Its all Point differential.

Do you ever look beyond stats? When you are constantly playing from behind, and throwing 50 times a game, you're going to score some points. It's an offensive league. But where was our offense in crunch time? At Atlanta? Our defense plays one of it's best games of the year, and we lose because of 5 picks. Where was our offense against San Francisco? We scored 21 points and threw two pick sixes. Nice work, O.

How about the Denver game? 14 big points. Kansas City? Against their atrocious defense we managed less than 300 yards and blew an 18 point lead by doing nothing the entire second half.

Our defense is equally to blame, they were, but for a couple games, very bad. No freaking duh. But you don't know much about football if you can't see how far our offense dropped off. I mean that for every person who thinks our offense is blameless.
