Super Bowl rings: 1
What a fricking shame. We've wasted such a great talent.
The lack of defenses really took away a couple more runs at it.

quote:Ahhh, the old adage where only the bad games are the ones that matter.
Here's some. In weeks 10 and 11, when just one win would have put us in the driver's seat for a playoff spot.
0 Touchdowns
6 Interceptions
1 offensive TD in two weeks....
Brees sure did pad his stats in meaningless games this year but at the end of the day we had a good enough defense to sniff the playoffs and we didn't. Brees gets one more chance in 2017 and if we don't make the playoffs he's going to be Brett Favre on the Jets throwing 29 INT's
So the 1, 2 3+ games before weeks 10 and 11 were meaningless?
Gotta love the idea that this guy floats out there that it was Brees's 2 bad weeks that cost us a shot at the playoffs, and the 27th ranked defense was good enough.

Drew Brees is amazing, there's no denying that. Especially when he doesn't have to play in an outdoor, cold-as-hell playoff game.
My point is that stats are meaningless when you don't win.
<--still bitter about three consecutive 7-9 seasons.

quote:I wonder where that pic would rank Brees if you did it as a % of passes since he led the league in pass attempts. And #2 in pass attempts is Flacco, also #2 in the pic.
Drew Brees would have so many more passing yards if he took more shots down the field.
Passes for 4 yards or fewer:

Average Defense - We're a contender
Good Defense - We're one of the favorites

Nobody remembers all of the stats Archie Manning used to pile up back in the day, he regularly led the NFC in passing yards and was a Pro Bowl quarterback in an era where the quarterback had a target painted on his chest.
But everyone remembers how god-awful the Saints were in those days. Like Cleveland Browns, celebrating that we went 8-8 kind of awful.

quote:ARchie Manning doesn't belong in the same sentence as Brees, so I'm not sure what your point is. Brees was infinitely better as a QB and also had infinitely more team success than Archie.

People act like Brees is an interception throwing machine or something. Look how many hall of famers are higher on that list. He's top three in every stat and is tied at 18th in interceptions.

He has the same interception % as Peyton Manning
Posted on 1/9/17 at 11:45 pm to TigerBait1127
That's my point
Posted on 1/9/17 at 11:49 pm to Shiftyplus1
Week 2 he put up an absolute dud. Oh. And having the same interception % as "peypick" manning is not a positive

You're utterly clueless if you think putting up 13 points and less than 300 yards of total offense is "on point" for Drew Brees and the Saints. The defense forced 3 turnovers and put the saints in good field position and they just couldn't score points. The Saints scored one offensive touchdown. Brees being "on point" on 4 yard passes on 3rd and 10 wasn't good enough that day. Yeah he faced a good defense and a good pass rush. BUT, YOU should try watching the games. Turning in one of the worst offensive performances of the season doesn't classify as "on point"

Okay, so he shite the bed vs Detroit and Tampa, played 'average' vs Giants.
You gonna bring up the fact defense lost us the game vs Oakland, Atlanta x2, Carolina, and KC?
Or the fact he bailed them out vs Arizona, San Diego, Carolina, and the other Tampa game?

The defense lost the game against Kansas City??? They gave up 330 yards and 19 points and only one TD int he second half. Again, Brees pick 6 and Ingram's fumble cost us in that game, not the defense. The Raiders had a much worse defense than the Saints and they still won a lot of games. Brees will put up huge numbers in many weeks but at the end of the day he shite the bed against New York, San Diego, 2nd carolina game, Detroit, Tampa Bay, and the 2nd Atlanta game. That's a lot games to just pretty much suck in. Matt Ryan and Tom Brady pretty much had zero of these games.

That isn't what I said. I said Drew Brees was on point. Unfortunately, we had Fleener, Cadet, and Coleman drop drive killing passes on very well thrown balls, including on back to back plays on our last drive of the game.

He should have caught the balls too I guess. Do I need to breakdown every single drive in that game for you? His placement was on point all game and he made the right decisions.
Whole thing is on game pass. You can watch it by the play.
You've continuously proven to be a few cards short of a full deck.
quote:

The Raiders finished 2nd in the NFL in takeaways, Saints finished 17th
The Saints gave up the most yards and point per drive in the NFL. Oakland finished 17th and 19th.
The Saints gave up more yards/game than the Raiders
The Saints gave up way more points/game (28.4 vs. 24.1).
Under what metric was the Raiders defense much worse than the Saints? Derp

You actually said Drew Brees bailed the defense out in San diego. He played absolutely horribly in that game and the defense forced two crucial turnovers and played lights out in the second half of that game. The Chargers D was having their way with Drew until he was given two 20 yard fields.
