Cooper? No F'ing way. Cooper, Keenan Allen, Alshon Jeffery, F' those turd Wideouts that pout, quit on their routes, don't play defense when they run the wrong route and their QBs' passes get intercepted...

Like what we have; OleMan-Running Tre'Quan is our No.5 when all are healthy; we've weather'd this far, wait a week and we'll likely have our top 3 WRs back; we lost home-field when we lost to the Pack...

Dance with the gal you brought to the Prom; win the first playoff game, Packers or Seahawks, neither will have much of a home-field, will choke and we'll get the NFCCG back here...

WHen Drew forces it deep like the Minnesota playoff game it’s a critical interception

Keep it within their mid game and complete accuracy

Drew is a surgeon and can still slice up a defense. With Drew getting the ball to our receivers in stride we are getting good YAC which is a staple of the west coast offense. We can still win a Super bowl with Drew. With this defense it's possible but unfortunately it's doubtful.

DREW IS NOT THE PROBLEM! He is still the best option available to bring us back to the promise land. Hallelujah and Amen Brother!

This is Drew Brees last season...

Drew Brees is Dead Last in Intended Air Yds/Pass Att (IAY/PA), 2nd To Last in Completed Air Yds/Pass Att (CAY/PA), and is living off his supporting cast Yards After Catch/Completion (YAC/Cmp)...

That's the way the offense is designed. You can be successful with this offense if your QB has a high enough completion percentage.

True, if our defense wasn't giving it up on the back-end like Miss Lincoln High...

I just listened to an interview with Brees on Airing it Out an hour ago with Brett Favre and Bruce Murray. They mentioned his remarkable completion percentage and he began talking about the offensive design. He said there is something to pounding the ball on the ground and wearing down a defense, but added that their offense is designed to do the same thing via the pass. He said repeated 3, 5, and 7 yard passes with screens thrown in here and there are just as frustrating and effective as running the ball to a defense. He said that it's their take on the West Coast offense. Long methodical drives with those short passes has the same affect as does runs, and they do mix in the run to keep the defense honest. Favre said that Brees appears to be just as sharp as he has ever been and Brees said knows that he is on the latter part of his career and takes time to relish playing more than ever. He added that he still loves the game and just like the last few years as long as he is still enjoying the game, and is healthy, and playing the game at a high level there is no reason to stop.

He said he was looking forward to getting Thomas and Sanders back and touched on the difficulties of have a new set of WR's game after game. He said he spends the week visualizing the plays for each individual WR and the constant changes are not easy.

As someone who played Defensive Lineman and Linebacker, I can say with more authority than Drew, nothing wore my arse out more than one a big offensive lineman was teeing off on my arse...

I was much more effective using my size/speed combination shooting gaps, stunts, twists, and in dropping into coverage...

But when an offensive lineman can fire off and drive without concern of a flag being downfield on a pass play, that gets old, especially if he's big and strong and is a trained lineman...

Bree’s QBR 106.7 for 7th place in the NFL. This has been without his #1 receiver Since week 1. Haters hate but fact are facts. Put a defense in the picture for the 1 weeks we might be 7-0.
