It's a shame really I think if he could win one of these close game he'd go over the hump and gain some confidence. Watch the game again and see how Brees hit recievers in stride...and Campbell recievers struggle to make the catch and fall down while doing so at time.
Absurd to think that Brees was some special gifts to the Saint's gods on Sunday. If not for dumb luck, he would have been the losing quarterback. It was strictly no big deal that he hit a guy with no defender near him for the tying TD. That was Landry's bone headed play that tied the game up, not Brees' heroics. Board members here keep basing a QB's performance, good or bad, on what their teammates do or not do for him. It's childish and bad analysis. By the way, it's simply not true that Campbell's receivers were struggling to make catches. He made excellent throw after excellent throw all day, and many of them were great examples of hitting receivers in stride. I agree with Kaz, absolutely.
JC could be another Ripien if his protection holds up. He outplayed Brees all day. Brees had a lower QB rating than Campbell for the day for a perfectly good reason-- he played better. Subtract the two longs flat out girft TD's Brees was handed on a platter, and the fact that Campbell kicked his butt would be even more obvious. While you're at it, also consider the advantage Brees had in regard to offensive line and receivers, and the gap widens further.
Dumb luck....some of you need to face the facts
Kareem Moore FUMBLED
Kevin Barnes stood still on a punt return when his PR was telling him to get out of dodge. Shouldn't we coached that different.
We play for a FG when we could have taken a shot to close out the game
SS MISSES a 23 yard FG again coaching
JC throws an INT
Mike Sellers FUMBLED again knowing the rule shouldn't we coach to go after the fumble!!
It's not a coincidence that those plays went the way of the 11-0 team and not the 3-8 team...This game was a microcosm of our players, team, coaching staff and front office.
Stats are for fantasy and losers!!!
So Campbell great day was because he was good...
But Brees' was because of LL bone headed play..got it
You only need to ask these questions
When given the opportunity to win the game what did Campbell do?
When given the opportunity to win the game what did Brees do??
