I've been calling it for a while now. This is on Drew and I think he knows it now.
How pissed should the Saints defense be? They played tremendously the entire game. TB12 and company did pretty much nothing when they weren't gifted short fields. This win had very little to do with the Bucs offensive prowess and once again the Saints inability to find big offensive plays. Yes, Cook's fumble was devastating and clearly the momentum shifter, but we once again saw very little ability to stretch the field by Brees and when he did, his throws were always/often mistimed and lacked any quality.
It could be argued and I would 100% agree that the Saints, with all of their offensive weapons, and considering the form of their defense, were better off to have Winston be under Center. Not just yesterday, but towards the end of the season to prep him for a playoff run. At least the Saints have the capable QB to take the reins from Brees.
Its time (and it will happen) for Brees to hang em up.
In looking back at Brees' HOF career, I am also one to consider him to be overrated. 1 SB with all of the talented teams he was a part of. He has fallen short various times in his career. He has struggled in big games throughout his career.
