A day for the kickers. Both Bailey and Crosby were money with their 50+ yd FGs with the game on the line, and the Pitt dude, Boswell, goes 6 for 6. Clutch!

Meanwhile....back to the Saints. I think it speaks volumes about our woes. The only thing we have to hang our hat on is all the NFL records set by Brees. The numbers are ridiculous. He holds more NFL records than all other QBs combined in NFL history! Blah, blah, blah... but, we've gone 7-9 three straight years. Brees did NOT even make the Pro Bowl and gets not even a mention when talking about the MVP. So....what good is all those NFL records? The team doesn't benefit, and hell neither does Brees with personal awards.

Where it counts Brees = irrelevant.

Now, all the said, I'm not blaming Brees for our lack of winning. Yeah, he's made some mistakes, turnovers, at crucial moments that has cost us some games, over these past 3 years. And when you're on a razors edge, those mistakes are amplified. But, the real issue is defense. Ranked 31st this year. Only the 49ers were worse.

This year's draft has to be all defense.
