Then we really need to rethink some things offensively. Plugging in garbage WR’s and asking Brees to be a gunslinger isn’t getting it done anymore.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

We are only a few hours removed from a devastating loss for me to think about "next year" right now.

Saints should be playing for another Lombardi in 2 weeks.

It's hard to beat a NFL team and the refs.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

Honestly... I wish he would retire.

It’s very apparent that his arm is not capable of strong and accurate throws beyond 30yds. As the season went on our offense cooled and while I think there are many reasons for that Drew’s age catching up to him was the biggest.

Would like to see what Teddy can do with the real team to play with.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

Got to keep up records on Tom Brady. The real question is if Brady wins another Superbowl, will he retire? The entire AFC is depending on it.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

Things were better than ever when our offensive line was intact. He needs a LT Who isn’t hurt 8 games a season. By week 11 he was playing behind the worst offensive line since he’s been a Saint. The ones who did play were playing injured. He also had no where near the amount weapons he’s had in the past. He’s still better than anyone else we have here or anyone else out there available.
I also think he had been playing hurt. He was having the best season of his career. Drop offs like that happen because of injury not age.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

I respect your opinion but this team should be playing the Patriots in Atlanta in the SB. Game was over with the no call on Tommylee but that's not how it went down. Unfortunately our O-Line with all the injuries couldn't keep the pressure off Drew. All season long he was running for his life and yet we were a tick away from the SuperBowl.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

We have to watch this piss poor officiating all season long touch somepinkie pass five yards and the flags flew and here comes the biggest game pre Super Bowl and they turn there fuooking heads the other way but I see it as I want to see it everyone has an opinion it’s cheating it’s blatant and yes it’s part of the game get some ,miss some they fuooked history in the making and put a fraud in the superbullsh!t bowl signed ST.

NFL owes saints team Super Bowl paychecks!!!

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

I like Brees and love for him to retire a saint but he no longer have the arm strength for the long ball. If we're willing to give up Bridgewater I hope a strategy is in place to have a replacement for Brees after 2019 season

KC will eventually top them.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

TO WILLSAINT81: THIS IN THE NFL RULE BOOK IMAGINE THAT!!

Consider Rule 17, Section 2, Article 1: “The Commissioner has the sole authority to investigate and take appropriate disciplinary and/or corrective measures if any club action, non-participant interference, or calamity occurs in an NFL game which the Commissioner deems so extraordinarily unfair or outside the accepted tactics encountered in professional football that such action has a major effect on the result of the game.”

Even though Rams defensive back Nickell Robey-Coleman admits that he opted to wipe out Saints receiver Tommylee Lewis because Robey-Coleman believed he’d been beaten for a touchdown, it’s hard to imagine this being the kind of “extraordinarily unfair” act that would have a major effect on the outcome of the game. Then again, the rule is there for a reason; if ever it would be invoked, wouldn’t now be the time to do it?

And here’s where it gets even juicier. Consider Rule 17, Section 2, Article 3: “The Commissioner’s powers under this Section 2 include . . . the reversal of a game’s result or the rescheduling of a game, either from the beginning or from the point at which the extraordinary act occurred.”

Basically, the Commissioner has the power to turn back time to the spot of the penalty that wasn’t called, put the teams back on the field from that point in the game, give the Saints first and goal at the spot of the foul, put 1:49 on the clock, and let the game proceed, tied at 20, with the Rams having one time out left.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

Brees is fine. Give him legit slot WR (Edelman type) and pass catching TE. Those positions were non existent in our offense. Even when he scrambles there are no players who are open.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

It hurts.
I agree with everyone.

I HATE for the party to end. These past 14 years looking at the Saints.....I won’t go personal here, but it was really something constant and magical to look forward to.
I don’t want to leave the circus and go home as the saying goes.
Rebuilding years will happen.
Brees cannot play forever.
Coach Sean and staff will not stay forever.
I really wanted , hoped, for Ms.Gayle, SeanP and staff, BREES, Kamara , Griffin, all these young guys, to get this chance because it is last chance for SeaP and staff, BREES.


I want Brees to retire out on a high note.
Had he taken them to SB and yeah, lost, I could see him retiring after 2019 season. Complete. A high note.

I really thought Saints would win and ugly W yesterday and lose SB to NEPats.
So what!!

For us Saints fans, that would have been a W.
Saints would have had a parade for not winning SB, lol.


I really wanted to see NewOrleans vs. NewEngland.
NFC Champ game at home.
SB right up I-10 in Atl. So many NewOrleanians have family and friends who live there and moved there well before the hurricane.

It would have been sweet.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

I would like to see Brees retire and tell the league to shove it because he was robbed.

And the stupidest comment award goes to..........

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

IDK JP, Smith was balling against scrubs most of the pre season.

Circling back to SP in training camp when he stated he lacks "burst" in the lower half of his body. This could very well be a major reason why he disappeared this year. If you can't separate at this level, you won't win one on one match ups. Michael Thomas isn't a burner by no means, however he knows how to separate vs MAN coverage.

I think 3quan Smith makes a substantial improvement in year #2. He simply needs time to develop his craft. After all he is a rookie & it takes time, especially at the WR position.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

Anyone who thinks the saints are better off without Brees needs to put the pipe down.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

Ofcourse we aren't going to be better off without Brees, but it's going to happen at some point anyway and he didn't exactly play well in the second half of the season.

I'd grab a QB whilst we have the chance and let him learn.

I'm just worried about the teams mindset now, I'm sick and tired of all these devastating last minute/second losses, how must they feel.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

Not me. Nope. No way. Would never want to go out like that. If anything use it as another chip to come back stronger.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

For years Brees had decent offensive weapons but no D support. He never had a legit No. 1 receiver but a better than average No. 2 and 3 and tight end made up for it since he historically spread the ball around. Some years the O line was suspect, but Brees' ability to gets rid of the ball quick and the short passing game kept him in the top tier of NFL passers. The result was a slew of 7-9 seasons.

Last and this year things changed. The D is now much better than average. Very good D line and LB play. Pressure on opposing QBs improved DB play. The problem is Brees' only has one dependable receiver to target. Actually he has a legit No 1 for the first time as a Saint. Two if you add in Kamara. When the O line was healthy he had time to allow other receivers to get open. With a injured O line he was down to 2 dependable receivers. Cover those two and the offense struggles. That is one reason why the his numbers and points scored dropped off later in the year. Next season needs a reliable tight end, better backup O line men and upgrades at No 2 & 3 receivers.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

Wish List this off season ...

Get a real TE
O line depth
Solid #2 WR.

Nothing against rookies or UDFA (as your #4,5) but you need legit players/proven vets deep in the playoffs.

Shimmy Rankins was missed in the middle. We were just a hair late in getting to "Golf". Hopefully the core guys are back in 2019.

Maybe the Saints FO get aggressive in FA and/or trades.

Fat chance... :rolleyes:

There is no doubt drew is not the drew from 5 years ago but he is still a top 5-10 qb. When he leaves we are done for awhile. SP has crapped away our draft picks so no qb this year. No way we would have made the playoffs with trashy teddy.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

I know it’s not his fault but I have been saying it all year, TLL is gonna cost us a game. I believe Kamara in on same play gets that call. TTL is just snake bit. Cost us last year against Tampa. Almost cost us with the fumble against Carolina this year. Too much trickery gonna on through season and this game. Alvin gets that call. Not TLL’s fault, but the guy just has bad luck.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

Nah, I don't agree with that at all.

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

I just dont understand the notions that I am reading. Drew has never been a cannon arm and his accuracy this year was better than it has ever been. Statically 2018 looks almost just like 2009 except he had 6 fewer interceptions this year.

20+ 2018 (58), 2014 (52), 2009 (58)

Drew also has his most 4th quarter comebacks and game winning drives of his career this year.

When his attempts and yards were a lot higher everyone moaned that stats didnt matter it was about wins, well we have the wins... still moaning and groaning... Dont like the QB, dont like the coach, dont like the owner... You a fan of the color pallet?

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

Which part, too much trickery, TLL has or almost cost us games. Or the flag wouldn’t have came no matter who the foul was committed against. You have to agree that if the foul was committed against a superstar player like Kamara, it would sting just a lil’ bit more.

Well it was kamara or cooper kulp in 2017 draft I believe and glad we have him but we need to find someone to shake free for Brees it’s stupid Payton got caught with his pants down without a #2 trequon smithhit the rookie wall and stayed plastered to it looks like nfl is too fast for the guy

THAT EXPLAINS WHY YOUR HEAD'S IN THERE!!!:rofl:

Re: After heartbreaking loss, Saints' QB Drew Brees 'pretty positive' he'll be back next season
 

Agreed & I didn't want him coming back from IR.

Not hitting a open lane & misjudging balls etc.

Sean Payton knows best however the TommyLee lore needs to end.
