Did anyone notice the great numbers Brees put up, thanks to the Raiders prevent defense and some serious stat boosting during pure garbage time at the end of the game? Can you say Jim Everett impersonation...

Naw, not buying that one.

Plus One...

Brees is seeing pass rush that isn't there (he had total fear in his eyes before the half, remarked about it to friends just before he threw the pick and gifted the Raiders a tie game at the half)...

Sanders is likely the second option on most pass plays, but Brees is dumping that ball down too fast (also why Kamara isn't getting as many yards as the field isn't fully spread out, play developed)...

No, Brees is old and when you get old it's gets harder to have your A game every single day; you're still capable, just not every single game...

Now, did Sanders have a bad game, absolutely; one, he's dependent on Brees; two, penalties were ticky-tack but a veteran knows to avoid situations that give officials a flag opportunity...

Brees short passing game stalled out when Payton abandoned the run with Latavius Murray so play-action became a formality, not an effective tool and Brees wasn't looking downfield...

No player masters the Saints offense in year one. I don't expect Sanders to turn it on until around week 8

Brees had a bad game, like Brady did last game. And MT was awol due to injury. Defense had lapses. Shows how our team failed to adjust... which is coaching related.

News flash... we're not winning every game.

Move on and on to the next game.

Drew can’t throw a pass over 15-20 yards and if it’s that bad now it’s not gonna get better and the safeties will play down cause he can’t throw down the field. The defense collapsed cause the offense was three and outing like crazy. Sean Payton abandoning the ground and pound in the first qtr was reminiscent to the Vikings game, getting too goddamn cute. It’s working why change it up? He needs to stop smelling his own farts and take what the defense gives you

Move on!!??? We don't stinking MOVE ON!!!!

"WE COULD'A, WOULD'A, SHOULD'A AND WHAT IF?"

BECAUSE THAT WAY IS THE RIGHT WAY!!!!!

I can’t understand why Payton won’t use Murray more. He should have been pounding them with Murray early on when we had a solid lead.

Honestly, running the ball can’t save you when you can’t stretch the field. If you can’t stretch the field then you can stack the box, send pressure, and sit on the underneath ****. Cover 1 blitzes will be commonplace.

This. When Murray was in the game, the Raiders played a lot of cover 1 with 8 in the box. If Brees can’t make the defense think he can throw the ball down the field outside the numbers it’s not going to be a good year for us on offenses.

Bad game all the way around. Our offense couldn’t stay on the field and out defense couldn’t get off the field. That a loss every time.

You either have to be able to stretch the field or have a legit running threat...

There's a lot of money and draft picks invested in this offensive line and Payton isn't maximizing the investment...

Pound the F**k out of 'em and they won't want to rush the passer in the fourth quarter - this works at bantam, high school, college and pro level...

Murray hadn't been stopped and that's why the play-action short passing game was working early; look at the film, they were on their heels until Payton abandoned the onslaught...

Joe Montana made a career of short passes to great receivers and running backs, so you can win with the short-passing game, but the run game still has to be a threat, and you have to have athletic receivers...

Thomas is out, and Cook and Tre'quan looked like old men with their short-stepping running across the field - they scared...

Sanders has great secondary moves, but they're downfield and he has to be hit in stride to really cause pain to those secondaries...

Now what made Brees incredible in the Saints offense was they could run the ball, throw daggers at all three levels of the field and Brees' game preparation coupled with his pre-snap reads...

Now Brees looks scared, so he's not thinking clearly and he's not effective throwing downfield, that is yards per target and hitting receivers in-stride to maximize YAC and TD opportunities...

The worst part of all this - we can all see it and Payton won't face it...

Amen JP. Why pick up Sanders if you can’t play to his strengths. The square peg round hole deal all over again
