2-3 going into the bye week; 1 game back of division lead

NOLA54 · 10-05-2014, 05:05 PM

Even though they fought their way back to a victory it was at home & it still seemed like a puny effort. If this game was played on the road I think they may have lost it. At least they are keeping us engaged by being 2-3.

Too bad Carolina won but they have yet been able to put back to back winning seasons together.

Is this the Super Bowl contender most thought? No way. But there's still plenty reasons to keep watching. Even after all this. I find that amazing.

Know what I find amazing, we could be 4-1 right now....weird

I just went back and looked, you're dead on. They have only been blown out once and every other game they were in with a shot. Damn...

Tampa shot themselves in the foot several times today and could have won. Our defense and overall lack of a pass rush concerns me.

Brees does need some coaching from Payton, but one thing Payton can't fix is that weak ass arm he is dealing with. Have we seen any long throws this year? I dont mean long as in YAC I mean bombs that actually work.

I didn't want to believe the people saying Brees has lost it. I even defended him before the season, but now it's hard to deny that Brees just can't throw the deep ball anymore.

Maybe that oblique is still bothering him or he jinxed himself by saying he could play till he's 45. I do believe in karma.

The zip on the ball hasn't been there at all, throwing behind recievers and floating the ball when throwing deep, has been a bad sign.Our 100 million dollar man is missing a lot of throws I hate to say.

I don't think it's a weak arm. Drew has been throwing behind the receivers for a year or two now. Even when we're on the 5-10 yard line and he's throwing into the end zone he routinely throws it well behind the receivers.

He has never been this inaccurate throwing the deep ball.

you can see from this that between 09-11 Brees was the best at the deep ball: https://www.profootballfocus.com/blo...-deep-passing/

But this year that Big PA and slugo seem route have not been there.
