Re: Brees is done

I’m watching Russell Wilson do this **** with nobodies at WR. Brees gotta do better.

Drew is still Drew. Remember he was out for six weeks with an injury. The team really stepped up in his absence and looked good for his return but the passion just wasn't there this game.

There were several factors contributing to this loss. The primary one was the penalties killing our drives or extending theirs. Peat was horrible but Clapp was even worse. Armstead looked like he should have been in the bed recovering. Kamara was till obviously hobbled. We abandoned the running game way too early and became one dimensional. We dropped way too many passes and Drew had no one to throw to except MT in triple coverage. Losing Lattimore was also key to a less than stellar defense. Also, where was that run stopping run defense? We couldn't get pressure with the front four and when we blitzed Ryan hit the open receiver. The game plan was the wrong one! They switched things up and caught us totally unprepared.

I wonder if Payton getting engaged has taken his edge away?

Bingo on all points

Re: Brees is done

Drew was the least of our problems yesterday.

Nobodies? Lockett has shown WR1 potential the past two seasons. Metcalf is having a great rookie year. Gordon might not be what he once was. That trio is far from nobodies.

Brees’ stats were better that Wilson’s, but the Saint’s D didn’t come up with 5 sacks and 3 turnovers.

Tyler Lockett isn’t in the same league as Michael Thomas. They don’t have a Kamara. They’re TE is out for the season. Metcalf is decent. That’s it.

Re: Brees is done

Josh G made a couple of nice plays too.

I'm not sold on this so called "scary" Niners bunch. We knew there would be a game where Jimmy G would have to win it with his arm and he failed.

I wouldn't sleep on Seattle. Niners will lose possibly 2, 3 more games within the next month and they gotta come to the dome.

Re: Brees is done

What was made evident to me last night was the 9ers are league above us and I think the Seahawks are better now.

Both teams were ultra physical and actually looked for different players to throw to. 9ers and Hawks got every receiver and TE involved.

Imagine the damage the 9ers will do to our O line, when we just allowed 6 sacks and put up 9 points to the defense who only had 7 sacks in 10 weeks.

MT......AK isn't healthy and hasn't produced for weeks. Other than MT Seahawks have a better WR core.....AK is having a subpar year this year REGARDLESS of why. Chris Carson aside from fumbles is having a better year

You are of the mind that a Wilson thrown ball hitting Ginn in the hands would have a different outcome than a Brees thrown ball?

Ginn #7 (5 drops 55% catch rate) in the league for dropped passes, Cook #33 (3 drops 56% catch rate)

https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/stats?...=0&sortOrder=0

Thomas 4 drops 83% catch rate. Sort of hard to put it on the QB when you have a WR leading the league and breaking records in catch percentage isn’t it?

Please correct me where I am wrong but didn’t Teddy favor Thomas and have issues getting Ginn and Cook to catch as well?

We need a HighSchool QB throwing ducks at our receivers every day so that they learn how to track and snatch a pass that isn’t perfect. Hands of stone.
