Brees didn't exactly light the game up himself

Sure Colston should have tried to locate the ball and he's been having a tough season so far, but Brees was the one who just lofted a gift wrapped Interception right to the colts defender.

Brees also missed quite a lot of open throws, he had cooks running free quite a few times and the ball completely sailed.

Overall decent win, lets get back to .500 next week.

Yeah he was definitely off. There was a nice ball about 35 yards down the field in the first half where Brees made a throw over a couple of defenders, to Cooks, and it went off his finger tips when he made no effort to dive. That kind of thing isn't on Brees, but as you said he missed Cooks several times, and I just thought he settled on way too many underneath throws in the second half.

The protection broke down at times, but Drew just looked like he had made up his mind he was just gonna check it down on most of those plays. The other problem is we completely stopped run blocking down the stretch.

As for Colston... I can't say anything different about him than I've been saying for a couple years. The one catch was nice, but when we're in the position of patting a guy on the back as if he's done some heroic thing, after one whole catch, that tells you everything. I'm glad he made the catch, but he remains a liability.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
