And who wouldn't like it when you have one of the best QB's in recent history?

Recent obviously not meaning the most recent 16 games where he has shown poor decision making, worsening accuracy, and tossed a Favre-ish 22 picks? Yards per attempt has dropped an astounding 1.5 yards with what is essentially the exact same offense. I think it has been proven time and time again that you cannot win consistently without a run game. Saints never ran the ball until last year. Now they are abandoning it again, and that was before the injuries.

Worsening accuracy? He still led the league in passing percentage by a large margin (68.1%), was third in yards, second in touchdowns and second in passing first downs.

Well it does help when you are 2nd in passing attempts in the NFL

And are still the highest percentage passer in the league, huh? It's not like if you throw a lot they have to catch some. It is actually more impressive to have that many attempts and that average.

Hate to admit it, but what Brees does is rediculous. He is what i like to call a true gun slinger at the qb position. He has made some very questionable decisions with the football this year in pressure situations. instead of taking the sack he tries to toss it and ends up making things worse. I have noticed however its not all his fault. last year your recievers were catching everything in site, now it is commonplace to see meecham, colston and henderson to drop wide open passes.....

Yes... because doing nothing other than chucking the ball wildy worked so well for them in 07 and 08.

If it wasn't for that offense we wouldn't have won a game. Our defense was arguably the worst in the league.
