Saints WR's Are M.I.A. in 2014

WHODATINCA · 10-10-2014, 04:10 PM

Used to be it didn't matter who you threw it to because they were all going to catch it -- except Meach -- who will always get a pass from me because of that INT takeaway in 2009 against the Redskins. What I wouldn't give to see him do that just one more time. Now that is exemplary play. Passion for winning!!

Yes, the coordination between Brees and the receivers is off. But also, there has been:

1) Marshmallow hands
2) Failure to get separation and mental errors
3) Failure to actually get down the field in time ( read: slow as molasses)
4) Failure to fight for the fricken' ball
5) Good secondaries

And, Drew Brees has been less accurate this year ( notice I AM NOT SAYING he sucks ).

Noted. We've discussed this at length, I reckon.

Honestly I think the accuracy issue has many factors. The missed time in camp, the 26th-ranked pass protecting O-line, the Golden Oblique, the WR's not fighting for the ball/getting separation/having marsh mellow hands, etc.

Let's hope this Bye Week fixes all ills so we don't have to revisit the ugliness of debating whether or not Drew is in decline.

Dear God, I hope so. Anything but the "in decline" debate. Anything. I'll even do cat pictures.

Nothing like a good dose of the "Detroit Lions" to cure what ails him,

... heck they made Kyle Orton (BUF) (yes, that Kyle Orton,

) look like a world-beater last Sunday & Bridgewater (MN) is already being referred to as "Touchdown" Teddy Bridgewater in some circles around here,

.

It'll be alright,
