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.

I'm all for calling a spade a spade man. But wtf did Brees do that was so awful? The guy was running for his life for most the game. His picket was collapsing. our offensive line was garbage.

Could he have played better? Sure. But this loss is not on him. That's insane.

But remember, many think we're "fine" at WR

.

Tre, Cook and butter fingers Ginn have been pretty useless thus far.

Sean needs to incorporate more plays for Deonte' Harris in this offense. He brought his game today on special teams.

They didnt even attempt a throw to the endzone. Brees just checked down, even in the red zone and expects the receiver to dodge every defender.

No aggressiveness and zero endzone shots. Our team is playing it too safe.

Offensive line was “offensive”....defensive line sucked....linebackers sucked, wr’s dropped too many, everything sucked today, coaches really sucked, Drew sucked...coming off a bye, you’d think they would have at least showed up. Typical rivalry game...they showed up with nothing too lose...we just didn’t show up. Hopefully this taste lingers a little while

Don’t know if he is done but he looked like **** today

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.

Best point thus far.

That could easily speak to the lack of WR talent as well. Today, Brees didn't have much time in the pocket and receivers weren't getting separation.

Its not like Brees was missing open receivers. He was hurried nearly every drop-back. The passes he did complete were still covered well by Atlanta, and he was sacked 7 times.

I just did not see Brees as the problem today.
Our defense could not get Atlanta off the field.
Matt Ryan was hitting wide open receivers left, right and center.
Our run game was nowhere to be found.
Atlanta did a great job of taking what we gave them, and we gave them a lot.

Atlanta played their A-game and we looked hung over. We will crush them in Atlanta
