Brees due for a road performance like he does in 'Dome?

WhoDat!656 · 01-09-2014, 12:01 AM

The Saints got their first road playoff victory, in cold weather AND put up 9 points more than the usually score on the road.

Next its time for Brees to play lights out like he does at home!

We have the run ground going which should help open up the play action pass!

i would love to see that my man, but, its gonna be tough against this secondary.

im thinking it will probably be more of a grind-it-out win like in chicago and in philly last week.

that being said, if we can get the ball to jimmy and run the ball efectively in the 1st 1/2, i really think we can start picking our spots and taking shots at that secondary in the 2nd 1/2.

Brees is not playing well away, and cost us or almost cost us a few games. That needs to stop. The team cant keep on comming back from short fields, and easy 7 pts. Brees almost lost the Philly game, and Im just being honest.
Im not sure what is wrong with him, but we all see it.

Brees didn't almost cost us the Philly game. That happened because a couple of guys in our defense went down. The 2 picks he threw didn't help but Philly caught up mostly because Parys Haralson and Keenan Lewis went down. Yes I agree, he can't do that against Seattle but please don't act like Brees was the reason Philly caught up. He played much better in the second half. And he admitted he tried to force some balls that he shouldn't have and after that he just took what the defense gave him.

I respectfully disagree about the Brees turnovers. Any time any team turns the ball over(int. or fumble) it takes the ball out of our hands and gives them the ball to try to score. Our D has bailed Brees out a few times this season, it seems like his int.'s have come at the worst times. Until I see the old Brees light fire I'm going to worry about this Brees who tries to force things there that just are not there.

I didn't say the turnovers didn't hurt us , they did. But Philly caught up because guys went down in our defense and we had holes. The Eagles took advantage of that, as any good team would have. And yes, I agree, the D has bailed Brees out a lot this season, but Brees was great in the second half of the wildcard game. In that game the O bailed the D out and that is the way it should be, complimentary ball.

I agree except for the "old Brees" part. I don't think there ever has been a time when Brees didn't throw picks. He throws them all the time, he always has. He takes a lot of chances and tries to put the ball in really tight places and sometimes he throws some real headscrachers like "who the heck was he throwing to?". But he also makes some amazing passes, throws that look impossible, hitting the perfect spot behind a defender from 40 yards downfield or hitting a receiver on a crossing pattern in stride, right in the hands.

With Drew, you gotta take the good with the bad. I've never heard the press refer to him as a "gunslinger" but that's what he is. Sometimes he costs us a game, some years a couple in the season, but he also wins us a LOT more games. He takes chances and competes as hard as any QB I've ever watched. From this fans perspective, I can't think of anybody I'd rather have on my team.

Im with the others. Yes he did. 1 interception put the Eagles on the 45 for 7 pts, and the 2nd bomb didnt amount to much, but killed a posession and the clock.
The Bomb was clearly Stills fault, but the 1st one was a horrible pass in 3 man coverage.
Plus he was throwing low or high for most of the ½, and missed passes to move the chains. Its not only the interception that hurt us.
Taking away Brees mistakes you would have to erase 7pts from the eagles score, and think that we might have 3-7pts more if he had made those passes.
This has happened in all the games we have lost. Im not saying he should be a robot, but hes not managing the game like he did last year, and seems to lose it sometimes.
IF that was Denver or Seattle, we would have lost. They know how to convert turnovers or stalled offense. I love Brees, but everyone is accountable for their actions on the field.

I like your thinking but to score 4 points the Seahawks need to tackle a player in the Saints endzone twice, possible, but highly unlikely
