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.

	The Saints are 0-42 when running the ball less than 15 times in a game.
