To be honest who really thought we would be playing in this game after that 0-2 start. I did not think we would be there before the season started

Add in all the starters on IR and you have to tip your hat to SP, DA and the team.

Yep, there they are ^^...


Edit- I was pointing at the picture, but my post landed on the second page, and ruined it. Should have clicked on the quote box.

I"m still a believer in Drew, and dont want anyone else, but I thought you would enjoy that.

burningmetal

I did, lol. It was the perfect picture.

I understand your opinion on Drew. The good thing is you aren't beating anyone over the head who doesn't fully agree.

I thought you didn’t watch football?

burningmetal

I don't. Is there a problem?

saintsfan1976

Far from it. Youngest team in the NFL. Made a comeback against the best defense. Only to fall to a last second mistake.

We’ll be improved next season and back in the hunt.

PS - where are all the Drew Brees haters now??

I meant the OP in the other thread, in terms of why I posted about that. This thread was a comment about people hating on anyone with a dissenting opinion on Brees. I've said that for years. It is nothing new.

Oh you wanna bang on Brees now? You don’t watch so I’ll fill you in - he single handidly beat the Panthers last week AND brought this team back against the top defense in the NFL. So whatever you’re thinking, save your breath.

Bang on Brees? Did you even know what you were replying to when you made your snarky comment to me? I'm not banging on Brees. But I've said he isn't the player he used to be, and people always hate that. When someone else gave the same opinion I simply said, in so many words, get ready because the Brees defenders will come. And when I say "defender" I'm not talking about someone saying he's a good QB. I say he's still good, too. It's the people who will question someone's fandom, or intellect, because they think Brees isn't playing at as high of a level. They annoy me.

By the way, I'm aware Brees had a good game last week. Didn't say anything to the contrary. But no one "single handidly" wins a game. That kind of statement is just not accurate.

Yesterday, he didn't have such a good first half did he? But, to his credit, he pulled it together in the second half. That top rated defense? People told me it was overrated during the week, to which I objected a bit, and pointed to the Saints' struggles on both lines against them in the first meeting, and said this would be a difficult matchup. Not too many people, if any, agreed with me. Well it turns out it was a pretty tough matchup, wasn't it? They made a run. But it wasn't enough.

They had a good season and they lost to the #2 seed. I'm not bashing them by pointing out simple observable facts.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
