Don't blame this all on Drew.. (1 Viewer)

29/36, 288 yards, and 3 TD's. Zero INT's.

That's 80.5% completion rate, and it's par for the course for him. Same as it's been for 3-4 years.

Missing MT is huge here guys. TQS and Sanders are either not getting open, or Drew does not feel comfortable throwing it. I simply don't believe that he's incapable of making the throws. Taysom had the chance to hit those guys on similar plays and he didn't throw it either. So, I'll hold my judgment until Thomas is back, and a few more games pass.

The refs jobbed us on both sides of the ball tonight. Blatantly. I thought the guys played with good energy and battled. They just came up short against a really good team.

I love Drew but he isn't playing up to par right now. at all.

This. This is all that matters.

Drew definitely doesn't play defense. Cam Jordan does though, and boy has he been absent.

We have no pass rush to speak off. Cam Jordan is ghost and even tho Hendrickson is trying he's just not a #1 DE. Great guy and worker tho. Him and Davis have been the best thing on D but two guys won't get it done. We need the whole team to step up.

It’s the defense. Specifically the pass defense. We have to get more pressure and we have to stop the PI penalties. Granted some of them were questionable but Jackrabbit can’t be grabbing dudes arms in the end zone.

No one is blaming just Drew, at least I dont think. I think it stands to reason that Brees is sorry and our d is sorry. They’re not mutually exclusive variables sadly.

I am going to call BS on that one, Cam hasn’t been playing defense.

Of those 17 possessions how many yards did the opposing offense earn and how much was given to them in penalty yardage (bad calls and deserved calls included)?

 

[El Caliente]

Nobody is blaming Drew but his inability to throw the ball really limits our offense.

It’s the play calling. I’ve said this ad nauseum the last couple weeks, but how many times, on 3rd and long, did we throw the ball at or behind the line of scrimmage? It’s nauseating at this point. And extremely predictable. I believe Drew still has what it takes to drive the ball down the field. I’m not so sure Payton believes it.

 

[kewee]

Yep, just came up a little bit short.


Meanwhile, the 49ers are dominant with half of their team missing. And don't give me that oh they haven't played anybody...we lost to the friggin Raiders.

I might be a sucker for punishment, but I’m not so football desperate to watch the Raiders and Packers games again.

Im not blaming Drew at all. Hes playing well for a geriatric qb. Kamara is making magic happen the rest of the time. Maybe yall should watch again THE 72 YARD PASS PLAYS AND HUGE DPI GIVEN UP ROUTINELY. I feel like its circa 2007/2012 deja vu arguing about this again.
