He did make 4 throws that could have been or were interceptions. As much as I am not an Aikman fan he called out Cook on that 1st interception and showed on replay that Cook ran a poor route on the out pattern, he faded off the sideline cut allowing the defender to get under the route for the interception.

On the Sanders interception that was a ball Sanders coulda shoulda woulda normally caught but his backhand slapped the ball up in the air and a defender, not his defender was in the right place right time. Benefit of the doubt 50/50. Not bad throw by Brees.

The other 2 throws you mentioned yep bad throws, but you failed to mention Brees threw for 316 yards yesterday 19 of 27.

I want to win just as you all the rest of B&G’s do I just don’t think we stand a chance in the playoff run with either Taysom or Winston bottom line. One I think can’t read the defenses Pre snap well enough to audible and adjust and the other has no real time with the one’s.

Coach keeps saying the next Saints QB is in the house we will see in 2021. If that’s true I don’t think the next Saint QB has started a regular season game for the Saints yet. We might see a 2 QB system similar to what we have seen this year.
I’d say if Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill played the exact same game the exact same way the guillotines would be out. The throw to Sanders was a miss by Brees. He led it out too far, but if we’re going with the old adage of you touch it, you catch it then cool. Stalemate.

Cook was smart to fade out on the other pick whether he meant to or not because Harrison Smith was sitting underneath and could have easily made that play. The proper decision is to not make that throw at all. We’re in field goal range. He wants to check down any other time.

They gave Kamara the ball 20 times on the ground for the first time in his entire career and he delivered. I can’t be the only person holding their breath every time Brees passes the ball these days. He’s still smart. That’s great, but the days of him carrying this team are dead.

I agree with most of this, did look to me Drew missed on the cook and Sanders. Yes, Taysom and Winston would have been skewered for those throws, but IMO thought Drew made some throws that were more reminiscent of his skill, like the one to Sanders down the middle, not sure if it was just a seem route or crappy post, but it was thrown to where only our guy could make the play. And yes, I find myself having breathing issues often times when Brees drops back, but not to the point of requiring supplemental oxygen. My concern is and always been the commitment to the run, which we do very well when we do it. Kamara was on the field for 64% of the offensive plays. Process that for a minute. To me, I’m Good with that, as long as Murray is being utilized as he should be.

I wouldn’t hold him to such a high standard if he has never set the bar there. When he makes those tremendous throws I just nod. That’s what’s he’s supposed to do. He’s Drew Brees. 1st Ballot HOF’er.

We just saw Brady make 5 of them today. I’m not a Pat fan, nor am I a Niner fan. But I lived there when Montana made those plays and I lived here when Brady did too. Drew has the chance to be the GOAT.
