Drew Brees
He's the greatest QB!
I don't understand how this caliber of a QB makes some of the decisions he made today. I mean, 3 INTs. I know great QBs have bone headed games from time to time. We do need more beef on the OL. But that was not the problem on his turnovers today. It just seems he's having more of those kinds of games of late. At what point do the fans call him on it? How much does the rest of the team shoulder part of this? | |

Re: Drew Brees
He is certainly not playing well recently, 6 interceptions in the past 4 games.
That may have something to do with Payton though. Big announcement - Payton will now call plays.......we ran the ball 12 times and passed 44 times..... |

Re: Drew Brees
The problem I have with this game is Fleener. I don't respect this and don't want accept him any longer. I just want him gone.
Also, Ingram. Ingram didn't do well today and justified a top RB would have given Brees more relief. We don't have a big RB to help in these games, we choose to throw to Fleener when Thomas is open. I just can't. |

He gained 37 yards from 7 carries, once again with a 5.3 ypc which leads the league. Ingram has zero blame in this game, Payton was the one who chose to only run the ball 12 times total. |

Re: Drew Brees
Yes we should have ran the ball more. We were never far enough behind to totally abandon the run game like we did. It also felt like Brees were trying to force balls to Cook this game so I hope he is happy now.

Re: Drew Brees
Trade Cooks for a defensive player. He's great of course, but isn't the "stud" I think New Orleans expected him to be.

Re: Drew Brees
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.

Re: Drew Brees
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. |
