Brees on the other hand, lost the game for us. Reality is reality. You can call him god and pat him on the back for the last few years and 2009, desurved, but when someone messes up they also need to be accountable, and Brees has been a big liability this year on the road, and lost todays game to. Thats just fact.

How can you place this loss on Brees? Ok it wasn't his best game, but seriously brees? I haven't seen a single QB have a stellar game against the Seahawk defense all year long. If anything Brees kept us in the game.

What about Hill dropping the ball or Colston, Sproles, Ingram, or anyone else who dropped balls early on? Mark Ingram dropeed a wide open screen and later he fumbled which cost use a clean 7 points. I don't see how you can put this one square on Brees.

Mark Ingram now has a "fumbling problem" to go with his injury problem and lack of consistent production.

Jimmy Graham is overrated. Don't pay him. Anyone can catch the balls he catches and anyone can drop the balls he drops.

Drew Brees aint the QB he used to be, I don't care how many yards he throws for per season. Too many teams have gone to the Super Bowl without Drew Brees as their QB since we have. We are the only team in the NFC without a scrambling QB. Grow some legs, Drew. You haven't earned the pay raise since you got it. First game he EVER played with a glove on his throwing-hand… WHY? I mean, who talked you into THAT?

Sean, please BUTT OUT of offensive play. All you do is create indecision and delay of game calls. We had the ball the last 1:30 of the first half and were hot except that we had NO TIMES OUT REMAINING. Same in the last possession. Sickening. You can't execute a "hurry-up offense" if you are making 3 - 4 substitutions each play.

When was the last time Darren Sproles ran back a punt or a kick? If ever? We need a punt returner who is a threat.

Abandon the screen as a dedicated play. Allow it to happen on a broken play, but it is too predictable. It was cute during the S.B. run, but it's DONE.

We were successful at running the ball right up until we abandoned it.

When it rains, - GO OUTSIDE AND PRACTICE.

So disappointed,

Alaska

Well I know we're all feeling some pain, but wow.

Don't forget that our Receivers seem completely unwilling (unable?) to fight to get open. I love Coulston but is he a #1 on any other playoff team?

That said, I don't think Drew is the QB he was, even 2 years ago. He's still my favorite player of all time but I think it's time for his role to change a little bit. We need to emphasize the run, then have Drew devastate teams with his accuracy after we've worn them down a bit.

Think of any MLB Pitcher: after a season of hurling pitches their arms aren't quite the same, and later in their careers the effect is even more pronounced. I think the same is happening to Drew. Some of the pressure needs to be taken off of him because by week 14 or so, he's just not the same...

This may have been as big a contributing factor to our loss as anything else.

A couple of timeouts after the on-side kick and it is a totally different ball game!

I agree on the D. They kept us in the game.

Drew made some questionable decisions during the course of the game but I don't know if I would blame the loss on him. He was under constant pressure most of the game but still threw for over 300 yards with no interceptions. (shoulda been one for sure but we got lucky)

[AllSaints]

Drew and Sean up tempo Offense sucks !..... Brees burns 2 timeouts a game cuz Delay of Game ! ! ! !
