Well, its a W, but hardly satisfying. Brees now at 71,127. 814 yds to pass Peyton. The single season reception record is 143 (Marvin Harrison). Thomas on pass to catch 208. edit: My bad, Thomas projects to 224 catches.
Why did they pass instead of running the clock down to kick the field goal as the clock expired? Extremely poor play calling. If the Browns kicker hadn't missed the game would have gone to OT.
A win is a win. Even without Debo Jones and Freeman (both Saint killers), if we play like that in Atl, we get smoked.
I'll take it. Payback for the Hail Mary in '99. If I were the Browns GM, I would sign Dan Bailey tomorrow. (Unless he already signed with someone else and I missed it). Cowboys waived him because tight ass Jerry Jones didn't want to pay him $3m, even though he's like the most accurate kickers in league history. Kind of reminded me of when we got rid of Morten. Stupid. On a side note, maybe the D isn't as bad as we thought (aside from allowing the long TD after we took the lead late and letting them get into FG range with only :21 left). I saw where Fitzpatrick threw for 400 and 4 TDs again today against the Eagles, who have one of the best defenses in the league. Oh yeah, and fuck the Failcunts.
