Re: Brees is done
I feel like I lost 10 iq points just reading this thread. Drew had 0 time to throw and still went for almost 300. TA needs traded or released in the offseason and peat is a lot better than we thought. Peat goes down and all hell broke loose. Drew has 3 more good years.

If you think we are better off without Armstead then you might have lost a few IQ points. He is one of the best LTs in the game. ![]()
Play action didn’t fool anyone because they didn’t run the ball! This was on Brees and Payton with the play calling and audibles. |

Re: Brees is done
start the cliche counter here Who Dats...
since I have heard this on a few occasions by some pundits I do agree with it and I am trying to use it to help cope with such a poor showing in the Dome... "The NFL is a week to week league"....so true. Also, "Any Given Sunday" applies here I think and should serve as a reminder to our beloved Saints that because a loss can happen on any given Sunday ya gotta get up for each and every one of the 16 games that are played unless you clinch early and then it might be permissible to altar your team's strategy(resting starters, etc.) |

It's football. Good teams can lose on any given Sunday. Meanwhile Clapp is a "back up" for a reason. |

Re: Brees is done
Armstead is absolutely an elite left tackle. What we saw on Sunday was a player that had missed practice leading into the game because of fighting the flu. If you have ever had the flu you would remember how much it can take out of you. It takes several days to get back to normal. He probably shouldn't have even been in the lineup, but the only other option would have been to swing Peat out to tackle and put Clapp at LG and that would have probably been worse.

![]() If a player struggles (ARMSTEAD) with injuries, they need to be elite like Armstead. I can live with a guy who gives 100% every time he suits up (even if he has the flu) vs a Peat who is a marginal blocker, on again/off again from week to week. If and when the time comes for the Saints front office to say good bye to Armstead, you better have a damn good back up plan in place for his replacement. |

no doubt Peat is the weakest link and some of those sacks were him getting just totally blown off the line, but drew played terribly. if he comes out this sunday and doesn't check out of the run plays and runs the offense in a sensible manner, none of this matters. if he has another performance like he did against atlanta, it's panic mode. |

This isn't fantasy football.![]()
And as for the time holding the ball on the six sacks ... watch the video of all six sacks. Sack 1: 4 sec Sack 2: 4 sec Sack 3: 4 sec Sack 4: 6 sec Sack 5: 3 sec Sack 6: 3 sec Only ONE of those sacks came in over FOUR seconds. That 4th sack came on the sixth second and was with eight players in coverage. |
