Let's look closer.........
Giants...pass rush.......bad game
Denver....pass rush but Miller's not in same tier as others. Ware's on decline. Okay game
Detroit....pass rush.........bad game.

In the games where has played someone who has a major pass rusher, he's not been the same QB. Even go back to Houston last year.

Not so much a tough secondary, his weakness is escaping the pocket when it collapses.

Payton taking over play calling duties was the bigger problem than Brees. Carmichael had done a great job finally balancing the pass and the run, making us a potent offense. Then SP takes over w his pass happy self and screws it all up.

Whilst I agree that Payton's play calling has been pathetic, he isn't the one forcing Brees to throw into triple coverage.

That pick on the throw to Coleman, there was zero pressure and 4 buccaneers in Coleman's vicinity, yet Brees still acts surprised when our guy doesn't get it.

I hope Cooks has been sufficiently humbled, he should be embarrassed coming out and saying he doesn't get targeted enough and then blowing 2 TD's.

If he'd like to air all his problems via the media first, ship him to Dallas where they do that for fun.

Brees decision making has been poor the last 6 games, he can't help when Cooks drops passes but forcing into triple coverage every week is getting very old.

Vonn Bell was around the football a lot which I liked, he needs to make some ints though.

Why are we still paying cadet, he.is.awful.

Fleener is a complete wuss.

I wouldn't complain if we started over right now.
Get rid of SP and Loomis, see what we can get for Brees, Cooks, Anthony, Fleener etc
