Re: Unnerving Brees Quote
The offense definitely had their ups and downs this year but lets look at the numbers...
Scored 20+ in 13 games. 8 teams (including the Giants and Texans who are in the playoffs) didn't average 20 ppg for the season. Scored 30+ in 9 games. 29.3 ppg for the season, 2nd in the NFL Meanwhile our defense was 31st in the NFL giving up 28.4 ppg. By these numbers, the offense had plenty of weeks where they scored enough points. I don't get what your vendetta is with the offense. Sure it wasn't what we've seen when we were at our peak but our offense is better than most. However, you can't overlook how bad the defense has been not only this year but for a while now. |

The Broncos game was again the fault of the offense. Thomas had two costly fumbles and Drew threw an INT. PLus 2 of the points were on ST blocked Extra Point, so actually the d let up 23 that game. But besides that let's look at the Broncos starting field position. The interception let them start at our 39, and then fumbled let them start at our 27. Then we fumbled at our own 20. So three of their drives started at our 39, 27, and 20. Broncos scoring drives: 85 yards TD 7 yards FG 27 yards TD 43yards FG 2 yards FG 2 of those drives they didn't even get a first down. Like I said, the Offense cost us 5 games |
Your team stinks

Re: Unnerving Brees Quote
Look at the bigger picture
NY game - offense scored 13 points Panthers game - 3 turnovers by the offense Broncos game - 4 turnovers by the offense The ST didn't help with blocked kicks, but the offense screwed the team over which led to the loss. |

Re: Unnerving Brees Quote
NY game-we make a field goal we win(we missed it). Panthers game-make the field goal before half time we win(it was blocked and lead to a panthers TD right before half) oh yea defense needed 1 3rd down stop to get the ball back with a chance to win...what do we do? give up the 3rd Kelvin Benjamin playing scared Zone D, Broncos game-even with those TO's manage to score, all we need is the extra point for the lead what happen...BLOCKED Extra point Offense didn't lose those games
