Brees needs to stop ill-advised throws/colston needs to catch it

DB is the reason that I started following football in the first place. I have a higher regard for DB than most football fans but I also believe that constructive criticism is extremely imp.
I have no idea how u think the favresque plays helped us win today...

When you say "Favresque" you must mean the bonehead interceptions, but that's a very shortsighted analysis. There are other "Favresque" plays like the last second 40 yd lazer to the back of the endzone last year that got them hfa. There are the goofy scrambles and amazing falling down passes that go for 1st downs.

With Brees, you get a lot fewer of the crazy plays, but you also get a good measure of climbing the pocket, twisted by the leg falling down shovel passes that go for 1st downs.

When you've got a great one who is more afraid of losing than making a mistake you sometimes get mistakes that are ugly. This year has been a case study for Brees in "pressing" to make something happen.

We're 11 and 4 and heading to the playoffs after beating the best team in the league at home on MNF after 3 boneheaded plays.

Like I said earlier, I'll take them with the drilling he put on Graham that won. The two types of plays are both part of the whole Brees.
