That playoff loss was not Brees' fault, in fact he went buckwild in the 3rd and 4th quarters to get us back in the game.
Unfortunately Nate missed the kick, but we also had a defensive let down that could have saved the game in the early 4th quarter. We ended up leaving that game sad and wet (the Trolley ride sucked!), but this year we wont!
Rivers has inherited a great arsenal (including an OL that is playing WAYY above the expectations) and a great call making OC who is just getting into his stride (Cam >>>>> Norv Turner). Marty has also let the reigns loose a bit on both sides as he now has complete trust in his coordinators. The defense this year is much better than any before it, even Jammer (who everyone on here knows I have despised forever) is making smart plays on the BALL (not the receiver for once).
I am so excited that after so many years (Friesz was the first QB I remember actually watching as a kid) I don't have to make ANY excuses for my team. I am glad Brees is doing well, and I am equally glad we have a talented, confident up and coming slinger of our own.
I'm not saying it was Brees' fault, but you know damn well we dodged a bullet with that roughing the passer call against the Jets. If that was never called, it would have been done and not as exiciting as it ended.
Talk about wet, Elite had to kick me and my homies out of our seats after the stadium cleared. We sat there in the rain the whole time, depressed.
It's true, Rivers did inherit a great arsenal, and he has played above expectation playing with that arsenal. And in regards to Cam, big big big difference on play calling since 03.
I'm still pissed we let Houck go which probably explains our horrible play at o-line last season. Not to mention that gi-normous peace of trash aka the human turnstile Leander Jordan. So glad he's on the IR and Marcus McNeil is ballin.
Way to go on bringing up the original number 17 though, Friez was that dude during my childhood also.
But back to Brees, no doubt, I'm happy for him. I'm glad he's doing well. But the only thing that leaves a sour taste in my mouth is, he's ballin' in NO without any superstars like LT or Gates. So where the hell was that when he was in SD?
So it is best, that he's in NO and is starting over, but like someone mentioned in the Brees S&T thread, I just didn't feel like he could take SD over the top.
