Brees has been awful alot this season. 60 mil guaranteed, wife spittin out baby after baby, I doubt we'll ever see the Brees we knew before the contract was signed.
Wish I could argue with you, diamondhead, but I can't. In his defense, I think the offense misses Nicks and Meachem more than we would have thought. Then again, both might still be here if Brees had not been so intent on 100 million.
Interesting take on the streak from Pats Fans http://www.patsfans.com/new-england...ventually-hold-most-consecutive-games-td.html
One of the fans pointed out what I thought about this morning. We play NE next year. Bet the schedule maker puts us together the week Brady would tie the streak.
Just read further down that patsfans thread. Those accusing Brees of playing for records when the offense was "gashing" Atlanta with the run obviously didn't watch the game. PT ran well on 2 series. Other than that, we were in 2nd and long, or 3rd and long all game.
Why does Thomas not get his fair carries. This is always the case. I could live with him and ivory as 1 and 2. Sproles on 3rd down.
PT has been on light duty since Vitt came back and put Ivory in the RB rotation. He's the one who has lost carries to Ivory, not Ingram. But I think that was to his benefit last night. He actually looked fresh and healthy when he got the ball, whereas Ingram and Ivory had no burst at all. Remember, both of those guys got pounded by SF's defense just four days ago. Now everyone gets a few extra days rest. It will be interesting to see the rotation when they go to NYG next week. Until last night, I was thinking PT was just out of favor with Vitt.
