SAINTS @Colts Gameday Thread

I thought Brees was well below average today. He made a couple throws that stood out, but there was a lot of standing around in the pocket again, and just throwing the ball to no one in particular. After we dominated the first half so much, in the second half we got really predictable with the underneath crap. There were several third downs where I saw a receiver open at the sticks, but Drew would just automatically throw a two yard pass (usually to cooks, it seemed). Of course, the interception in the endzone was terrible as well. They were trying to blame it on colston just because he looked upset, but Drew kind of threw that up blindly. At least look at who you're throwing to.

Very glad for the win, but I'm annoyed with the way the offense took their foot off the gas. Between that and Breaux falling down, this should have been a 35 point win.

that pick was on Colston on he thought Bree's was prolly going to throw it away so he flattens his route and stopped running but if he had kept running to back of the end zone he either would have caught it or dropped it , it wouldn't had been a pick though

I know that's what the announcers were suggesting, and I saw that, but it was still a bad throw. The corner was camping out behind Colston, and if Colston had seen it and gone for it, there's a good chance he gets laid out bad. Brees didn't even look, from what I saw. He spun around and just threw it up. That's never a good idea.
