Take the Packers, lay however many points you need to. They will dominate.

Defense just can’t get off the field this year.

At least we won't see Darren Waller for another four years

What the fuck has happened to Lattimore Drew Brees?

Drew Brees ain't shit without Michael Thomas. It's time for him to retire. This is embarrassing for him and the Saints. 

It's more than that. His arm is shot. It's been noticeable for about two years now. If I had to point to a time where I saw it starting to slip, it was around the Saints/Cowboys game in Dallas in 2018 that the Cowboys won like 16-10. It's why the Saints have lost in the playoffs twice in a row at home (terrible non-PI call notwithstanding). The good defensive teams just stack their defense 15 yards from the LOS and dare Drew to beat them deep, and he can't. Even on short throws he's missing because he has to wind up to make a 15 yard pass.

He's looking like Peyton Manning in Manning's last year.

I remember saying on that game thread that they just showed everybody how to beat us.

Bitchin' Kamara

I ran over my neighbors...

What I don't get is Brees still has Sanders and Cook and still looks like shit. A good TE and a WR with great hands, and he just bumbles along not looking their way.

I've never seen him look this tentative. He's usually decisive and confident in the pocket. I don't want to get too hot-takey, but I have to wonder if he knows he's done, and he's lost his "it" factor or whatever you want to call it.

He has plenty of weapons. He has a very good TE too.

I agree with you here. I wonder if he knows, too. He's not Tom Brady. He's what, 41-42? He's had a phenomenal career, first ballot HOFer, and he has nothing left to prove. Yeah, I'll miss seeing Brees, but it's time. 

Agree with both of you. That’s the weird part.

A difference between Tom and Rodgers vs Brees as they’ve gotten older is they have stronger arms.

 

Granted Rodgers isn’t as old but he will be getting there.

 

Brees and Manning’s arms weren’t as strong. Brees relied on his timing/accuracy a lot more. He can’t force a ball like the other two guys I mentioned in a tight window.

I always thought Brees had an incredibly strong arm. Dude just flicked it like it was nothing. But yeah, I wouldn't put him in the same category as Rodgers or Mahomes. Not sure about Brady having a strong arm. That's seriously the first I've heard that. You usually just see short passes from him, so I guess I never thought about it. 

Watching Brees right now reminds me of Favre in Minnesota. It feels like that.

Brees also had major shoulder reconstruction in his throwing arm, so he has more wear and tear than Brady, whose arm looks old, but still occasionally live.

There we go. More of that. Sanders is an excellent WR, let's use him.

That was offsides, I don't care what the stooge booth ref says. Two guys were past the nose of the football.

Holy shit, that is the most pathetic display of defensive tackling I've seen since last night against tech. And these are supposed to be "pros". That defense is beyond sad.

Shit I'm like 10 minutes behind on DVR and didn't even realize it.

The quarantine

Get a treadmill. Surely he can afford one, I would hope. Also eat healthy. Of course, his job is stressful and he's gotten older so he probably decided to get on the Rex Ryan diet.

My parents bought me a bitchin' Kamara with no insurance to match.  So if he happens to run you down, please don't leave a scratch.

how in the hell as a ref do you mark that as a first? It was a full yard short

Fucking shit. Let the hall of famer decide this.

No one tackles any more. Everything is a shoulder shot and hope for the best.
