Brees killed us with his INT
 

There were all kinds of banana skins flying from the refs today. But his INT really killed us. Not hating on the man. Just saying. Things changed after that. Quickly.

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

Another week
Another back breaking pick thrown

The only difference about this loss is I don't know who deserves the blame more, The defense for allowing the long TD or brees throwing that pick 4 plays later

Entire team is an embarrassment.

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

The Golden Tate TD killed us... after that the homecrowd was back in the game, the Detroit Dline put some pressure on Brees and yes you were right he forced a stupid pass. BUT he played a terrific game up until then. No way the Gate TD should have been a first down, and of course not a TD

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

Corey white and Kenny Vaccaro don't deserve to be paid after messing up that badly.

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

Yup. Again he kills us with the bone headed play. We are stuck with an aging/old $100M pick machine. Good think he punched his HOF ticket earlier since he is not adding to the HOF credentials at this point. Not even sure he is a top 10 QB anymore.

As for the long TD. Sure that got the crowd back in it but we play into it by not running out some of the clock. You don't throw a pick in that instance. Take the sack and punt it and make them play a long field. A highschool QB knows this but our HOF QB seems to have forgotten it.

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

I can name 10 players who "cost us" the game today.

Its not all Drew's fault, not even close.

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

C'mon you know we should cut him, take a huge cap hit, destroy the rest of the team to compensate for that huge hit, fight through more cap hits to better this team... /sarcasm :rolleyes:

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

Why make another thread to whine? If you don't like the saints go whine somewhere else. A lot of you fans need to go to Atlanta, if you couldn't see that officiating cause the result of the game then you need to watch your intake on alcohol, the pi against bush wasn't the only bad call but the one on the rookie, the non calls on lions defense, the roughing the qb on 3rd down by cam. This game was total bs. If I am going to be critical and down my team, I am datum well going to stand up for them when it was obvious they were cheated. You people who blaming Bree or the coaching staff, I just want to know when have you seen the perfect game? Mistake gonna be made, but a great team overcome them, but how do you suppose to overcome them if the officials are against you? REAL SAINTS FAN STAND UP!!!!

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

For you whiners:

Payton upset with officiating: Payton was clearly upset with some of the calls in the game. He was seen yelling at officials and admitted afterward, "I wasn't happy with how the game was officiated, but I'll leave it at that." He quickly added that's not why the Saints lost.

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

Last time I checked I have a right to voice my opinion on a forum when I want. Thanks for the advice though.

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

The officials didn't make Golden Tate juke 3 of our players or force Brees to throw a pick

Whilst there were bad calls, we had 23-10 lead and blew it on 2 plays with less than 4 minutes to go, we had still won besides the refs, we killed ourselves by getting lazy.

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

Hard to argue this.

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

Cause golden made a play warrant the reason we lost the game? Cause Brees throw a interception warrant why we lost? BS, the defense held a penalty gave them new life, offense couldn't move down the field cause they were held and final play PI

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

Just playing devil's advocate but a close PI on Bush gave them a new set of downs and they scored a TD.

That same PI play happened twice against us on the final drive and wasn't called. All we needed was a FG. It didn't cost us the game, but it damn sure prevented us from winning it.

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

Hard to argue that as well.

Playing devil to the devil's advocate there were calls for us that kept drives alive in the first half, right?

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

So what you're saying was that the refs didn't call an even unbiased game at all? :doh:

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

honestly, I'm not sure what i'm saying anymore. On to Green Bay.......

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

OMG, somebody actual under the circumstance. Believe me if the saints lost like any of the other losses I wouldn't say a word but obviously they were cheated and like a true fan I am going stand up for my team instead of whine and point fingers. Believe it or not enough whining will influence the play of some players and coaches and i hope our cry babies fans don't

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

Wow , so you're telling me if he doesn't throw that pick we still lose ?


We can't blame the defense , after holding the lions offense on the road for nearly 3 quarters to 10 points.

The lions were bound to make an explosive play , but unfortunately this season we were bound to give the ball back via interception with a 4th quarter lead like always. And give them the ball already in scoring range as always. To say this one isn't on Drew is a lie , even he knows it , that's why he said it

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

Brees threw one pick. (a critical one)

Corey White, et al missed numerous tackles.

Who do blame more?

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

So you entirely dismiss a 73 yard touchdown pass, where there were at least two missed tackles; so you can try to prove why the loss is entirely Bree's fault?

Wow, that's all I can say :rolleyes:

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

Voice opinion is one thing, whine is another and by the way I wasn't referring to you unless you're saying Brees or Payton was the reason we lost

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

One missed tackle, he just out ran the rest

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

No I don't dismiss it but I can accept it , that was the same golden Tate doing the Broncos wrong in the Super Bowl don't forget !

Regardless we still had the lead , that big play didn't end the game at all. They STILL needed a touchdown to go up. And Brees made sure that happened for them.

The lions at home in scoring range needing 7 refs on their side , momentum from the pick , we never gave our defense a chance.

For the record vaccarros pick should've been the nail in the coffin.

How can folks still defend this mans play ? We were up in the fourth with the ball , no excuse !!!

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

Corey White whiffed on his attempt, Vaccaro missed his and then he outran Keenan Lewis

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

Brees just cannot perform under pressure on the road. He is the most frustrating thing to watch on road games. He won't be getting any better here on out.

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

342 yards, 2 touchdowns...

defense gave up two touchdowns in the final 4 minutes... but go ahead and whine about Drew some more

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

I don't have to he said it himself , do you need a link ?

Oh and btw , that last TD was on Brees , I mean the defense didn't put themselves there did they ?

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

That's what the leader does; just like the defense saying they were the reason; do you need a link?

And I have a question, would we be better off with say Ryan Griffin or McCown under center rather than Drew? *waits*

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

We blew it plain and simple on both sides of the ball, no excuses. We did not close out a game we had at hand. A ripple effect.

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

Corey white went for the ball not the tackle

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

On the road give me griffin any day ....

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

after he went to the ground he whiffed on his attempt at a shoe-string tackle; I'm sitting here watching the replay as we speak...

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

yep Brees lost the game, again.

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

Can you count , we still had the lead after that !!! That wasn't the game winner !!!

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

A single player cannot win a game or lose a game by himself. This was a team loss. No point in trying to blame any single player or players.

Some here need to calm down.

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

You've never seen him in the game against anyone other than 2nd/3rd string, but good try...

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

We didn't blow nothing, the officials blew it when they call PI on bush on 4th down

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

not true, the QB is the single most important player. SB prove that. Even if teams like SF have the #1 defence, they still lose because of QB play. No great defence can deal with a QB throwing a pick in the last 5 minutes and putting them on the 30.

Re: Brees killed us with his INT
 

It was a tough loss for sure. But, we didn't finish. That is on the team. Either side of the ball had a chance to win this one in the second half. Neither did.

As I said before this game, it will turn on O-line play. Their front 4 almost completely shut down our run game. Then, they started going after Drew. Recipe for all our disasters.

The good news is: the D started to look like last year's D. :-)
