With that said, it should have been handled behind closed doors. There's no excuse for that either.

STUPID BASTARD MADE ME LOSE THIS WEEK IN FANTASY TOO! GIVE HIM THE DAMN BALL.

Same here...Without Brees' outstanding effort, I'd been blownout...

Got him and Thomas in the Joe Sam Keeper League - big decision coming there...

Brandin Cooks' lack of targets against Rams result of 'some of the coverages,' Sean Payton says | NOLA.com

I thought someone on here was saying after the game that he looked extremely happy after the win and that he sacrificed his game for the greater good of the team? I get the feeling this is a bit of of an easy target for the media and is just a beat up to get clicks.

Something is going on IMO. We proved we can win without him. Not only win but blow a team out of the water with him flailing around for over 3 hours.

I hope I am wrong but it's more logical to assume a problem has manifested than just a fluke.

I don't believe this for a second

First off, when I hear "source" with no names, I either call BS or I think of Ian Rappaport.
Second, if this story is true, we may have a problem in the locker room. MT is getting a lot of attention this year and maybe taking over the #1 receiver role before too long. I'm sure that's not sitting well with Cooks.

I'm sure he is frustrated. He's had a few games this season where he's done nothing and now Thomas has come along looking like a legit #1 WR. I don't think that makes him a malcontent or puts him in the doghouse. He's just a young guy trying to find his way still.
