Bree's lost a step?

Still allows the chance to run the ball.

Someone said he threw that pick because he felt he had to throw the ball and make a play because of his defense. Yet, the game was tied and it was after the first drive the defense allowed a score.

Even the best teams don't have a lead every game. We didn't in 2009. Offenses are better than then and this team has too many standards for the defense. Some think we should have held this team to 13 because it's the chiefs' offense.

And if the Saints scored more points than the team they're playing they'd win.

Brees has looked better this season than his previous three, IMHO...

Some of that has to do with an experienced burner in Cooks, a fast, healthy "X" receiver in Thomas and a a very good, rock-solid underneath guy in Snead IV...

But I'd agree we need to acquire our "Steve Young" now and not when Brees or his contract run out...

That pick was on butterfingers, not Drew. Many of INTs (as all QBs) are from good throws.

He was targeting Snead on that pick? As I said Snead does not show up in tougher games.

Can we save these until we see an actual decline

I guess it's just something to talk about, better than the election I guess.
It does however have similar content though.

Brees was statistically the third best QB in the NFL last week. He's (yet again) playing at an elite, HOF level. And that's with a subpar (putting it mildly) supporting cast.

Want to talk about something how about how this franchise could well go down in history as having wasted one of the best ever QB talents without even so much as sniffing the playoffs last 5 or so years of his career...

Oh and the INT, about a foot off. 12", other than that he was perfect. I'll settle for that Loss of Step anyday.
