That's exactly the false narrative that I was talking about earlier. According to Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller on NFL Radio, as I pointed previously, it isn't a lack of attempts to run the ball that leads to a loss, it is the inability to run the ball successfully and to extend drives that limits the chances to run the ball. The Saints have lost 395 games when they DID run the ball 15 or more times. Let that sink in. |

1. The Saints chose to run less than 15 times in a game? 2. Their choice is causing them to lose? Here is another stat or two and how I interpret them: 1. Drew Brees is presently tied for second with Tom Brade in all time 4th Qtr come backs at 35 (Payton Manning has 43 and Johnny Unitas has 34). 2. Drew Brees is second only to Payton Manning for game winning drives @49 (Payton Manning is 54 and Dan Marino is 47) Seems our crappy defenses under Spagnuolo, Ryan, and a few Allen years left the man playing catch up because our wet paper towel Defense couldn't stop a drip. What Fing team runs when behind? Okay, the Jets... What no one has been able to answer yet is why in the hell didnt we abandon the run against the Cardinals??? Anyone please explain why... take a shot at it with your logic. |
Re: Brees is done
The 0-42 stat doesn't provide causation, but it does provide correlation between loses.
Winning teams can do 2 things in the NFL, run the ball and play defense. If you can't do those things your success will be short lived. I know you all understand that and are arguing that our running game was ineffective so they had to move away from it, however as AG drove into the play by play, you could see our running game was effective but it was abandoned. You don't need 6 yards a carry, 3 yards on first or second down is better than a incomplete pass or sack. We could have been setting up 3rd and short with an aggressive run game, but instead we were behind th chains because we chose to pass and create negative plays (incomplete/sacks/penalties). If the saints right the ship, it'll be due to establishing the run again. |
Re: Brees is done
I said at the tail end of the Bridgewater-starting era that it’s possible we don’t win all of those games with Brees at QB. I didn’t mean it as an insult to Brees in any way, but that unthinkable loss to the Falcons bears that out. We get away from the basics and fundamentals sometimes and the play calling just gets questionable at times with Brees. It’s not Drew’s fault, it’s just symptomatic of the “We have Brees so we’ll be fine” mindset.

6 offensive penalties on 10 drives.... You cant establish a run game on that Sir... Murry ave 2.6 YPC ill bet you a months salary that if Payton would have run Kamara in place of Murry people would be b1tching about over use... People are arguing that our QB was killing run plays just to pad stats and that's asinine to say the least. We have some smart members that say stupid sh1t. Atlanta came in to kill our run game, they were successful because our O-Line was flat. Our passing game was unsuccessful because we dont have more than one receiver and she same line was flat. |

All of this. But, Oak, it's like talking to a blank wall. They don't understand football as much as they think. Logic means nothing to them. Might as well give up. Forty-two times in the 52 year history of the Saints they did not carry the ball at least 15 times. Outlier, forced by flow of game and defensive scheme. :rolleyes: |
Re: Brees is done
Age is definitely catching up with Brees - the 15-20 yard comebacks are just floating on him. Lucky he wasnt picked.

He did alright. Great team win. Defense definitely made it easier on him.
