the only thing that the fish got on the pats is that they got 2 real passrusher's
I agree your defense is ranked at the top of the NFL Now. Pats were not #6 weeks ago. Saints have faced many #5 defenses in 3 years ( 5 this year ) and still produced a #1 offense ranking for those years , this is not even close to new for the saints offense, the defense is new. Patriots are not the 85 bears or even the 2006 bears, they are good and we respect them, but nothing new to N.O. . Nice post enjoy the conversation, honored to have this game.
our defense looks pretty average but you have to dig to find the real story
Interceptions. #1
passes defended. #1
opposing passer rating. #1
defensive touchdowns scored. #1
completion percentage by opposing passer. #1
third down percentage. #1
turnover differential. #4
passing yards surrendered per attempt. #4
red zone defense. #5

Brees would be an average QB if he was playing
this year for the PATs. IMO
Tommy handles all kinds of pressure and has only a mediocre running game
to work with.
Protect Brady like Brees gets protected and give Tommy a running game
like Brees enjoys and Tommy would set records that would never be
matched for a thousand years.!
"In 2007 and 2008 seasons, Brees had basically zero run game and still ranked No. 1 in about every offensive"
well seeing as Brady missed all of 2008 that's kind of moot. and do you really want to compare Brees' 07 to Brady's?
In 2007 and 2008 seasons, Brees had basically zero run game and still ranked No. 1 in about every offensive category. And he makes his O-line look better than it is at pass-blocking because he gets rid of the ball so quickly.
I know you're already banned for being a jackass, ...

OK, I'm trying to figure out whether you're another idiot like the Saints "fan" Stfan25 (what's 25, his IQ?) who just got banned or whether you actually know something about the NFL and we should listen to your point of view. Jury's out, but that post at least shows some knowledge of the game.
Look, tell your fellow Saints fans that this board welcomes intelligent oppo posters, but has no patience with idiocy.
We've been to six super bowls. Only the Steelers and 'boys have been to more.
We'll listen to intelligent criticism and even accept some clever trash talk and certainly man up if you beat us, but tell your friends to stow the bull**** and stick to the facts when you haven't even been to one SB, let alone won three.
Personally, I have a lot of respect for Brees and what you guys have done so far this season.
Let's settle it on the field on Monday. My prediction? Winner wins the Super Bowl.
You can call me an idiot if you want. I really don't care. I just know my team pretty well, but by no means am I an X's and O's guy. Personally, I feel Brady is a better QB for one reason, he's taller. Brees is only 6 feet tall and gets a little too many passes batted down at the line because of it. However, I've never believed you have to look at playoff/super Bowl victories to determine how good any player is. Football is too much of a team sport. I would wish for an exciting game, but I know this game will be exciting no matter what I wish for.
Question: how does Brees handle the blitz? I haven't watched him enough to know. Also, are his stats better inside the numbers or outside?

Welcome to the Board.
Brees passer rating goes up to 122 when blitz by more than one defensive player. He is the least blitz QB in the league for this reason.
his stats are.
Drew Brees

Really?!?
In 2008:
Rivers had the most yards (Brees was 4th)
Brees tied Rivers for most TDs
Brees was third in MOST interceptions after Favre and Cutler (hence he wasn't even close to the fewest)
Rivers had the best QB rating (Brees was fourth again)
Chad Pennington was first in completion percentage (Brees was 8th)
Rivers was first in percentage of passes making first down (Brees was 7th)
Rivers was first in yards per attempt (Brees was second)
So in the seven offensive categories I mentioned, Brees was first in one and he was tied with Rivers for it.
In 2007:
Brady had the most yards, Brees was 11th
Brady was first in TDs, Brees was 6th
Brees was 6th in MOST interceptions
Brady was first in QB rating, Brees was 11th
Brady was first in completion percentage, Brees was 3rd
Brady was first in yards per attempt, Brees was 19th
Roethlisberger was first in percentage passes for first down, Brees was 13th
So in the two years you mentioned, I listed 14 major categories and Brees was first in only one of them. Brady was first in 5 of them and he missed the entire 2008 season.
What are these rankings for? They aren't QB rating, yards, TDs, completion percentage, or any other major category. Brees has never finished first in a major QB category other than TDs in 2008.
