Loss to pats on Payton and Brees

C17-BING · 10-14-2013, 05:59 AM

If someone would have said before the season started "Hey, you'll be 5-1 going into the bye week with your single loss coming at the hands of Brady with 5 seconds left" ... I think we can all agree that we would have been stoked as hell!!!

We'll be fine.

We have an easy fix on offense... just wait until he gets healthy.

I turned off the tv saying this loss is on Payton and Brees for poor time management. Time and time again the lesson is learned not to give Brady so many chances because he will capitalize. Yes there were bad calls, and yes we were playing a good team in the Pats. No worries about this loss, I am excited to be where we are. 5-1 doesn't suck

Playcalling was to "not lose the game" in the end instead of calling to win. That is more disappointing to me than the actual loss. We got conservative.

Reminded me of the Saints of old....play not to lose. With a QB like Brady it was way to much time left. Your defense can only hold up so long. I like the effort the team gave, we just didn't have the killer instinct at the end to put the Patriots away.

The whole game had kind of a weird ebb & flow to it and I think what we may have witnessed was an epic NFL battle of strategies between two of the premier head coaches in the history of the game, two of the elite quarterbacks in the history of the game, and two of the gamest teams in the league.

It don't get any better then it did on Sunday and it sucks to be on the losing end of a game like that, but all that win did for the Pats was to put them in the 5-1 club right alongside the Saints ... just sayin',

.

We live to fight another day ...

I have a question.

Who is this Colston guy that lead the team in receiving over the last 7 years; maybe he is on IR?

Brees only looks at jimmy graham, it took him 3 quarters to throw to a different receiver

Talib and the Pats said they had the answer to Graham; Brees, Payton, and Graham wanted to prove them otherwise. Ego got in the way perhaps?

Who knows when Graham suffered his injury or what would have happened if he would have stayed healthy

I think your right with the ego assumption.
Anytime Brees has a 47% completion rating you know something has gone wrong. Has Brees ever had that low of a percentage?
