Shows that this offense is really starting to gel and compare to what we did in 2011:

126-171 73.7 %
1420 yds, 355.0 per game, 8.3 ypa
11 TDs, 2 Ints
114.7 QB Rating

Saints offense
32 ppg
483.0 yards per game

One stat that jumps out at me is the 8.3 yards per attempt, this is when the Sains offense is at their very best, when we are taking advantage of a good run-pass balance and putting the opponents pass defense in a more vulnerable position and much more prone for big chunk pass plays.

That 32 ppg includes the Saints offense settling for 3 fgs inside the 3 yard line vs Seattle.
 
For anyone who is interested, Brady's stats for his 4 games this year:

73.1%
1,319 yds (9.8 ypa)
12 TD's, 0 Ints
133.9 rating!

This shows us a couple of things.

1. The amount that INT's (especially considering tipped balls, bad routes, etc.) affect the passer rating is garbage.
2. Brees is most certainly in the MVP conversation, even if the pundits won't talk about it (what is this, Fight Club?)
3. Brees, Brady, & Ryan (ugh) are all playing a level that the other 29 QB's can't even sniff right now.
