All around bad effort by players and coaches.

If Brees doesn't up his game by the midway point (if he's able) I'd like to see someone else take over.

You're right Brees had a terrible game, even by lower standards. However the blame can be spread around. Poor routes. Drops. Miscues were at every position.

Oh I absolutely agree, Brees wasn't the whole reason things went South.
His turnover before half was a backbreaker but we have come back from worse. The main thing that annoyed me was he had a relatively clean pocket most of the night but never really looked down field.

The running backs appeared to become his first and only read. Brees has always been an aggressive player, sometimes you win and sometimes you don't, but to see him accepting defeat in the form of constant 2-3 yard gains was pretty infuriating.

But there was plenty blame to go around, defense made it a catch up game very quickly and Andrus Peat just did his normal gameday things. Not to mention an absurd penalty on a perfect block by Sanders.
