DFITZ1 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Yeah...but the difference was Brees didn't become a chickensh!t and proceed to never throw the ball downfield again. Also, Brees didn't wait until the 4th quarter to actually throw the ball more than 20 yards.... My faith is Trent is falling fast....I thought we were seeing gradual improvement and today was classic Capt. Checkdown. His decision-making and short throws were like the worst of JP and Holcomb combined. It was THAT horrifying. That being said, the O-line was atrocious as well. Did Haumgartner forget how to snap the ball?!?! Just an awful, awful game for the O. The o-line being atrocious feeds into the QB being atrocious. Trent had less of a chance of success in the last couple series because he had to play shortstop more than QB. Your response even confirms that. An atrocious o-line performance is more than an "oh, by teh way" in regards to criticizing TE.
