Drew Brees

MatthewT · 12-05-2016, 04:54 AM

There was one thing that really stood out in my mind regarding Brees in the Lions game. That last drive really hit a nerve, it appeared to me that there was stat padding going on. Down by 15, IMO should have been chunking it down the field hoping for a miracle. It looked like the only plan was to get the QB over 300 yards.

i thought carmichael was doing the play calling, has it switched?

Once again, as Drew does ever year, he throws multiple picks for 2 to 3 games

Once again Drew started to push things a bit knowing the defense was not going to hold the Lions to FG every time

Once again youth inexperience and the lack of talent due especially to injuries, shined way to bright on the field.

If people start calling for Drews head like they are Seans we deserve to go back to the 1 to 2 win seasons we had almost every year before. Back then the only thing fun was the draft and we even screwed that up.

LOL! You would have us revisit the Haslett years? Payton may not be perfect but good gawd man. You could have at least thrown in some of the winning seasons we had under Mora to maintain some credibility. You're off in lala land if you think the early 2000's were a better time for this team.

I never said they were better. But Carolina and TB have found their way back in the mix. The NFC South is a division of parity. Vick and Ryan for Atlanta. Delhomme and Newton for Carolina. Gruden/Winston for TB. We were knocking on the door of making playoffs before Katrina. Look at how close most of those losses were in 2005. We would have had 10 wins if not for Katrina. And trust me we have already set a precedent for QBs to want to play here post-Brees. But I will say this nostalgia is bad. And sometimes the only cure for both parties is to start fresh. Brees has a better chance with other teams.

I was basically acknowledging the fact that we were not a 3-4 win team right before Katrina. And it's not like Delhomme and Williams was not in our lap. I don't think our org will ever be stupid enough to draft a read option QB, including a Manziel. This org is always going to model their QBs after Brees. Just like Big Ben is modeled after Bradshaw and Romo after Aiken.

Having former Saints on the Lions defense that could offer insight into unsettling Brees may have had something to do with the loss...

Tyrunn Walker and Rafael Bush were good players that should still be wearing the fleur-de-lis...

I'm just glad the "Home TD Streak" is finally over. During that streak we've had too many games like this one - didn't show up at home, but hey since we can't win let's rack up yards and score a token TD at the end for the fantasy football dorks. Some of those games were blowouts where we should have given the backup QB some playing time, but no no those stats and records are more important.

Want to know what a real remarkable record/streak is? Tom Brady's 201 wins. That's one to go after.

And Brees is less than 150. It's not possible to catch that record.
