Rams. Holt + Faulk + Bruce + Warner. Forget about it. I don't think those Receivers down in NO, outside of Colston, wouldn't be much of anything if it wasn't for Brees.
Fair enough. I think the Saints have the better QB and coaching. The Rams were ridiculously talented at the skill positions. Imagine these Saints with a game-changing RB like Faulk?
Brees better than Warner? Maybe, but Warner has proven himself in the playoffs. Brees collapsed with the Chargers.
The Patriots sucked tonight. Any team could have beaten them. I wouldn't overrate the Saints based on that game.
I'm definitely not going to overrate their defense. They played excellently tonight, but I still don't think NO's is anything spectacular. They play competently and create turnovers here and there, but generally ride their offense's coat-tails.
I think Brees right now is a better QB than Warner's ever been. He's certainly much better than he was when he played for San Diego.
Certainly is much better than he was in SD, but I'd like to see him when the pressure is on and its win or go home. I'm not completely sold on Brees being a top level QB with the Manning's and Brady's, yet. He can definitely put you on your toes and rack up the stats, but I want to see him in the playoffs before I consider him on the elite level.
Why did the Pats take out their starters with over five minutes to go? They had almost no chance down 21, but you can never give up. We've seen crazy endings before...
Their rushing attack is pretty good this year though, they have a nice trio of backs with a good average per attempt (lots of TDs on the ground as well). That opens up the game for their offense. Nah me neither, they played great but their defense is more turnover based than anything. Get another good AFC team in there and who knows what happens. The Pats had some chances but their redzone offense stalled.
I'm angry that Kurt Warner was a late scratch. That cost me a fantasy game, because I got zero points from my QB because of him. Doesn't help that I've also got the bust of the year himself in Matt Forte...ugh. Other than that, it was a good week for football to me, lol.
The wide open play was really just Meriweather biting on another receiver. If he's in position, probably 10 yard gain at most.
