And, yes, spreading it around, using the pass as an extension of the run while mixing in the run is a winning formula.

And where did I say defense isn't vital? Can't find that anywhere.

That is some extremely heavy rationalization supported by vagueness and your opinion. The stats do not show Drew's clear dominance in the areas you have mentioned, if anything there is no clear leader, if I removed the names and titled these QB A/B preseason stats you wouldn't be so unicorn milk over one of them.

Hill throws for longer completions and has a 10% higher conversion rate.

Season
Completion%
%71.6 Hill
%73.5 - Brees

Three game averages for both QBs
Touchdown Average Passing or rushing
6- Hill (4 rushing/2 passing)
7- Brees (7 passing)

Average Completed Air yards
6.6 Hill
4.9 Brees

Ave 1st downs
22 - Hill
22.3 - Brees

Drives ending without a score
7 - Hill
5.66 - Brees

Offensive 3rd down conversion rate
%44.19 Top 9 in the league - Last 3 games (Hill)
%33.33 Six lowest conversion rate in the league - Previous 3 games (Brees)

I wont answer your last question, you are just being silly. You can ride your painted pony but it doesn't make the Ferris wheel spin.

I never said Drew Brees was bad but a stats comparison vs going with the hot hand is not as clear for most as it is for you.

I enjoy reading the game day thread after the game is over. I get to enjoy all the moments again without the fear and dread that I get during the game from being a Saints fan for over 40 years.

The Falcons dissed the Saints by putting "VISITOR" instead of "SAINTS" on their scoreboard prior to the game. The Saints got them back after doctoring their tweet. Note the time on the clock, as well.

Any updates on Malcolm Brown ? He left the game but I hadn't heard anything since. Hope it's nothing serious.

Saints vs Atlanta fun fact :

Saints haven't allowed a Julio Jones TD catch since the 2016 season finale.
