Brees Throws For 500 Yards?

I would rather have Brees with the record than Brooks.
Lordy! +1 over here on The Left Coast!

But what I want to know from you all who went to the game is, "Did Freddie Thomas stink it up that badly or was he expecting (as usual, a defensive secondary will "roll coverage" to the deep side") more or ANY help from the Safties? Could you tell from watching the plays unfold on those long shots to CJ?

Just asking 'cause being at the game gives you a better over-all view of what is happening on any given play.

Thanks for any info as I'm taking a beating on being a defender of FT but will admit, he sure looked either beaten like a bad dog OR perhaps "Expecting" more help from his deep coverage man.
