Congrats to Drew Brees and the Saints |
|
Brees, the second quarterback to pass for more then 5,000 yards in a season and to the Saints, while not making the playoffs, were, without a doubt, the best team not to make the playoffs this year.

1. I agree. It's great to see the Saints keeping it close. |
|
They truly are America's Team these days.
May they build on this next season.

3. If they want to "build" something |
|
it might be a good idea to start with a defense.

4. Brees would be the MVP if he didn't play on an 8-8 team. |
|
I do have to disagree with your contention that the Saints are the best non-playoff team, however. IMO the best team staying home next month is your very favorite, the Patriots. To go 11-5 after losing their MVP quarterback and their #1 running back is a triumph of coaching and teamwork.

his QB rating on the road. He put up big numbers, but came up small in a bunch of key points. I think his season was overrated.

Rating of 117 at home and 80 on the road.
11 TD and 12 interceptions on the road.
Rating of only 70 close and late. This is all from yahoo stats.
