I am saying otherwise...sue me. When Taysom was running the ball before the fumble, Payton should have called a run/quick pass. We all knew the Vikings D line were coming after him. Brees should have known this and audibled out of the play that was sent in, and when he got chased, covered up the ball. Safety help was non-existent for us and our Online was like a sieve. Wil Lutz missed a field goal and our D-line didn't get to Cousins as much as I would have liked but behind them, we left the field open. So no, I don't put this on Brees, I put this on the Saints.

Brees smiling and **** after the game. It’s over man. Hang it up.

Not yet. So what if he was smiling, what did you want him to do? Have a temper tantrum on the field in front of the national audience? It's called having class and being gracious in defeat.

The game was lost by the team and coaches. The oline was terrible for most of the game. Poor play calling early. Defense allowed them to walk right down the field in OT. Brees dropping the ball on their 20. The missed FG by Lutz. Team loss.

I said the same thing after that play. It felt like Brees was trying to do the same thing but there was no window for that pass. That was a hunger swing. Even if we dont score we take a good amount of time off the clock.

Was CJG smiling after the game? Nah. It’s time for him to go. He can’t get it done.

That int they turned into 7pts was a real killer. Without it the score would be different

What does he have to smile about? He should be angry and upset at his performance. He was out shined by two QBs today. Cousins and Hill.

When Brooks smiled fans were ready to kill him. Brees played terrible today besides one drive.

Stop being such a fairweather fan or go and join the wonderful Falcons fan base. We are all hurting/angry after this but stop with the stupid statements.

I am a SAINTS FAN and I used to be a Brees fan. When it all said I am a saints fan 1st and Brees gotta geaux. Now for you Brees groupies, y’all can follow him all the way to the recliner where his play had declined.

Iv'e been saying all along, stop looking at what we were going to do in Green Bay, we have to beat the Vikings first and there you go, we couldn't do it! We were beaten by the better team today, we can't blame refs, officials etc. It was all on us this time! Oh well, theres always next season I guess! It will be interesting to see what the team line up will be for next year. WHO DAT!
