Graham hasn't dropped that many catchable passes. Two that I can remember in important spots where the ball hit his hands and he didn't have a defensive player hanging all over him.

Colston is the one with the bad case of the dropsies.

I cannot for the life of me understand the love fest with Graham.

Does anyone thing this team would be worse if we traded Graham for a guard? Or a first round pick which we then used to pick up a guard? Or a center. Brees could have jerry rice, randy Moss, and Antonio Gates in thier primes and his stats would be the same this season. He has no time to throw and he has proven this year that when you pressure him he folds like a cheap napkin. He seems unable to throw check down routes, he doesn't have time to go through his progressions, he never sets his feet, and worst of all he makes the absolute stupidest decisions.

Shovel passes to no one. "throwing it away" into double coverage, bombing it 30 yards instead of picking up 5 or 6.

I don't know what is more baffling, Payton, Brees, and this offense in general's sudden and complete regression into mediocrity or this board complete lack of acknowledgement.

We need an oline. There is not a single person on this roster other than Brees more important to the teams success than our 2 guards and center. It's painfully obvious. Brees was hit more times last season than any other in his career. It has affected his decision making and his performance. Payton and the front office didn't even notice and thought it would be better to sink our money into Gallette and Graham.

Yes it was. When this team was in its prime. 2009-2011 it was scoring upwards of 35 points a game without a problem. So our defense just had to blitz, hit the QB, and get a turnover here and there. Brees took care of the rest.

As the years went on our oline got older and our second best oline man to ever put on a saint uniform wanted to much money and we let him go.

Then we never ever addresses the oline. Patchwork and bullshite. No rookie studs, no big trades. Just nothing at all. And this season and last we are suffering terribly for it.

We need 2 guards and a center to protect our quarterback. We need them now. And we have Graham to trade away. Get it done.

I don't think you're remembering 2010 very well

We have 2 of the highest paid guards in the league while having a great RT and what looks like a potential stud at LT

I think we have our center. We need to let grubbs walk and get another free agent

Our oline is shitty as hell. It was terrible last season, and nothing was done about that.

Here is a statistical fact: Last season and into this season Brees has been sacked, hit, and hurried more than any other time is his career. We need an overhaul in the oline or this is the end of Brees.

This is st, I'd rather just stick my head in the sand and act like we are going to turn it all around.

I belive we will not get blown the fk out by mediocre teams in primetimes, and that we will possibly compete for king of the hill title in the shite heap that is the nfc south.

There is no problems with this team, you are overeacting, you're imagining what you're seeing.

You're right. We'll have the same urgency and belief as the coaching staff and players have.

No need to panic, or worry, or change anything. We'll just start winning soon for no reason. Brees literally said exactly that after the Dallas game. "We're going to keep doing what we're doing, and when it clicks, watch out." that is a fricking retarded way to think.

This team has a massive amount of issues on both sides of the ball and those issues need to be addressed.

Our running backs are out performing themselves. For the love of God feed them.

Our corners need help. And Byrd is out. We need to be blitzing constantly. Hit the qb a few times and hit him early. Make him respect the blitz. Then you can run your cool packages and disguises. But without a basic foundation they'll never respect it.

Same goes for the offense. We came out the gate and went pass pass play action pass. No one will respect our play action or even try to stop the run until we actually run it.

The players are playing lazy frustrated football. It's bizarre to watch.

I don't disagree

It was shitty and then we replaced Charles Brown. Everyone thought it would be a strength after the end of last season

We have too much money in what is supposed to be two all pro guards. They are playing like shite and that has nothing to do with Graham.

Graham and Colston need to catch the fricking ball though

You've been yelling this since before the vikings game. We were third in the nfl in blitz rate going into that game and blitzed a ton

I don't give a shite what the blitz rate stat says. Blitzing on every first down and run down and then sending no one on obvious passing downs is not the right way to call a defense. And it's a misleading stat.
