Drew Brees says he let Saints down - NFL Nation Blog - ESPN


Sign of a true leader:
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.

But you are gonna get on my ass in my INT thread about that? Telling us to go be Atlanta fans and such. You had to hear it from HIS mouth before you believed it happened I guess.

Re: Drew Brees says he let Saints down
 

No, I am saying that cause he a true leader he want to bear the blame or deflect the attention his way instead of coming down on the team as a whole, like the coaching staff or even certain players,,,, I think if he wasn't getting paid high dollars like the rest of the elite qb's people wouldn't be so quick to point fingers at him,,,,next target gonna be graham or Gallete and soon will be cam jordan

Re: Drew Brees says he let Saints down
 

Oh by the way, I still blame the officials for the lost

Re: Drew Brees says he let Saints down
 

Yes he did let the team down. Detroit just pinned their ears back after the int. It's on him.

Re: Drew Brees says he let Saints down
 

That's your opinion, I bet his teammate don't feel that way

talk is cheap, growup Brees , we love you. Just manage the game

see there I will point to the OL getting beat like a bunch of cheerleaders out there. The lions are elite up front. If they want to play with the big boys they need to put their pomp pomp down.

last 5 minutes of that game the lions own us.

yep the refs did sell them a few things along the way

yep in the end they beat us like a school yard bully up front.

yep Drew should know better.

yep that was a beat down all across the board in the end

yep offense defense and coaching :pissed:

Nope the season is not over just yet :bng:

Re: Drew Brees says he let Saints down
 

He's not solely responsible for the loss, but his error was reckless, rookie(ish) and something we've seen several times in the past. Can't really seem to recall ever seeing manning or brady throwing turd-balls like that. Like I've said, good teams when those games and bad teams lose them.

Manning threw it to Tracy porter, Brady threw interception to mike Mckenzie. One did it in the Super Bowl the other one in a 38 -17 beat down by the saints in the dome.

Read this if you don't believe officials stole this game:

The Saints were flagged 12 times for 134 yards, including several pass-interference calls that killed drives or aided Detroit.

Saints coach Sean Payton: 'I wasn't happy with how that game was officiated' | NOLA.com

Marques Colston was flagged for offensive pass interference late in the third quarter on third-and-5 after Pierre Thomas made a catch to secure the first down. The Saints didn't convert on third down and punted.
