It’s the inconsistency that’s the sign of decline. Brees holds the record for 54 straight games with a TD pass and he’s had three games without one in the last year.

Wasn’t it the Falcons that ended his record streak. I may be wrong.

If Bridgewater had the game Brees had today, this whole forum, Saints twitter and other forums would be going off wanting him traded or cut.

Brees at 40 years old has a bad game, and we blame everything else.

I'm sorry the truth hurts, but Brees has declined and it's expected when you get to 40 years old. Manning was god awful his last year, Favre and Marino also looked terrible and we're now witnessing also; the declines of Brees and Brady. It just happens. People are nuts to think these guys will be playing at a high level until their 45.

Did it with Ginn, Thomas and nearly got TreQuan killed but somehow he made that catch helmet flying off and all. Gone was the usual route combos we use to free up guys and get a high percentage completion. The passing game was way too vanilla today. That is what I think Sean, Pete and Drew need to work on for next week.
