Sacked once, no picks, 2td's and we won the freaking game. On the road 20+ mile an hour winds.

Some people on here could be walking down the street and given a $100 bill for no reason and immediately start wondering why it wasn't $200

Those dump off passes don't show up as rushing attempts, but is what
some of them are. throw deep, sacks go way up, picks go up and and
ypg drop.

Did anyone else notice tape on Drew's right arm sticking out of his sleeve couple inches?

It was kinesiology (or KT) tape. It is the same stuff that Kamara always wears all the way down his arm. I'll bet every player in the league has it applied somewhere or other. LOL.

The tape on Kamara's arms is regular old cover-roll to prevent turf burn. Kinesiology tape is applied differently and generally narrower with splits and contours.

I suppose you’re right on Kamara but the black tape on Brees definitely appears to be KT.

The one thing that stands out to me is Drew doesn't have the time back there like he used to.
I agree the arm isn't what it used to be but there's nothing wrong with his eyes and he can still read the field with the best of them.

The time back there is the key. Players like Brees gain their power not through their arms, but through their legs. With a solid plant and trunk pivot they can put plenty on the ball. It's called energy transference. If the total motion is as practiced the power is there.

Brees never had a real long ball, but still set passing records. That said, for several years he has been consistently under throwing receivers on deep routes. I think the D's understand this quite clearly.
