Brees is done

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

He was hurried a lot, and the line was obviously bad. But he has the ability to step up, and he failed to do so on multiple occasions when he had the chance, because he was staring down receivers.

Which brings me to my next observation, that he was, in fact, staring down receivers a lot today. He just looked tentative and lost at times. I've said it many times, that if we're going to anoint the man for being captain awesome when he's got 7 seconds to throw the ball, then I think it's reasonable to expect, on an off day for the offensive line, that maybe Drew could just make a few plays off script.

There were drops, and I know that didn't help. Everyone outside of Thomas was bad today. I'm just surprised that anyone would give Brees a pass as if he wasn't part of the problem.

It just seems like it's always "win as a team, lose as a team" but Drew is somehow detached from this "lose as a team" scenario. I don't think that's accurate or fair.
