Not enough touches for number 28?

The o-line is always blamed when a QB struggles, but Brees usually gets rid of the ball faster than this.

Guys are open down field, and he decides to throw checkdowns and hold onto it long enough to get sacked.

The defense was bailing us out of every game after the Cowboys loss, including playoffs. Our offense couldn't stop shooting themselves in the foot against the Eagles in the playoffs, then against the Rams they let that team hang around long enough to eventually steal the game.

Everyone loves to compare a good Saints team to 2009. That was a different season though. Both the Saints and Colts were built similar that year. They had opportunistic defenses and got hot by blowing through some really bad QBs. That was vital in building up the confidence we had heading into the final stretch of the season.

2009 Brees and 2018 Brees were different QBs and the 2009 offense had a lot more weapons on it. All we really had last year was MT and Kamara.

You are comparing two halves of the same season, not full season vs full season. 2018 is over brother. Drew has had multiple bad half seasons when he plays hurt there is nothing earth shattering there. You might want to look at receiver injury reports from 2018 when you aren't busy.

Again, beat your drum all you like. Teddy isn't going in.

This is probably the most stupid comment I have ever seen on this forum.
Say that Brees has lost it, he can't hit downfield or he has lost accuracy, but to say the players don't want to play for him is just plain idiotic.

What happened to the run D?

brees84 · 11-10-2019, 02:35 PM

3 man rush and they still get to the QB.

ChrisXVI · 11-10-2019, 02:36 PM

All things considered, I haven’t been this disappointed in the team in a long time.

Don't forget 28-3.

It's 20-9
