I posted this in another thread, but seeing as there are waaaaay to many threads laying this loss at the feet of Drew Brees or the offence, I think t deserves its own thread. When allowing 34 or more points teams are just 294-3947 or 7.4% win percentage. Since arriving in New Orleans Drew Brees is 6-3 in such games or 66% win percentage, waaaay above the league average.
The offense wasn't perfect for sure. But it seams like a lot of people are searching for reasons to blame things the already hold bias against (Sean's play calling, Drew's age, the offensive talent out side of Mike Thomas) when the obvious explanation stares them in the face: the defense gave up an almost insurmountable amount of points and time of possession.
In a way these numbers do confirm what some of you are suggesting, that our hall of fame QB can no longer carry a poor team effort to victory, but it hardly warrants all this "Drew is done" "time to move on" talk.
