this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; The defense played well, minus a big play off an all out blitz. The real reality is, Drew has to have perfect games for us to have any chance of winning, so an off day is a guaranteed loss....

Re: Drew Brees
Reality check: Can we expect more or less games like this out of Brees in the coming season? Would anyone be hesitant about seeing what we could get for Ingram if he dropped 3 turnovers in a single game (which could have been 4 if the fumble weren't recovered)?
No 'yeah but' excuses anymore. The team should be in rebuild mode starting with a QB that can be the franchise for the next 10 years and not waiting for another 2009 to happen again...'cause it ain't! Love him, but for the good of the franchise, we have to move on! |

There has been a few low score game that Brees hasn't looked good against the better D's this season but looked great othertimes. As far as rebuilding with another qb. I would have to agree, with the Saints FO and always trying patchwork D's with basically the same D coaches and staff I think we waisted our best run with Brees never having a D to speak of.

Re: Drew Brees
The offense never got into a rhythm.... Drew Brees was never comfortable in the pocket.... I noticed we called a lot of play in the bunch formation and the lions were kicking out butts when we spread the formation out we did better but ugh the screen plays were terrible....

Re: Drew Brees
Have to agree here. People routinely talk about our next franchise QB, but can anyone say for sure where or when we might find him? By my count we've had 2 truly great QB's in our entire history, and they were separated by decades. Maybe we get lucky and find that next guy sooner than later, but in the meantime I think you ride your future HOF QB until he can't go anymore.

I think the ref either blew it by not remembering that (refs DO screw up the rules from time to time, not just the calls) or he justified it in his own head by telling himself that maybe he might change the spot to be slightly closer to the goal line. But you CANNOT go and change that to a touchdown when the whistle had blown. How is that reviewable? I'm just not seeing it. But yeah, it was pointless to begin with. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Re: Drew Brees
In our history there is only one other great QB. He looked like crap but damn everything is on his shoulders week in and week out. He had a bad game. It happens. They killed us on both sides of the line of scrimmage also.
