Only one that got open was Stills and the other TE not named Graham.

I've been thinking the same thing. Early in the season, when we were winning, the short, ball control, passing game was our bread and butter. It seems to be missing lately.

Brees has held the ball to long, but the fact is teams have been able to get significant pressure on Brees with a 4 man rush and put 7 in coverage, result no one is open or takes longer to get open.

Since around game 6, yes.

Which is why we need to run even if we're only getting 3 yrds a pop. It opens up the short game. I still would like an explanation as to why we went away from Ingram.

He could have thrown the ball away.

Drew is a pocket QB... That is called intentional grounding.

Not if he'd left the pocket so he could throw the ball out of bounds.
