I don't agree with this at all. He lead his team down the field twice for potential game-winning scores until his defense blew the lead on both occasions. Although Jimmy Graham should've been tackled by Whitner, that pass was right on the money. He finishes 40 for 62, 462 yards and 4 TDs with 2 INTs. Yes, he struggled in the beginning, but he still had a solid outing. Don't see how he can be blamed for the loss.

I wasn't blaming him for the loss, although I see how you could have thought that. I don't dislike Brees, I just think he takes way too many chances and isn't all he's made out to be. Some of the worst special teams play of the season and a sub-par defensive outing doomed the Saints today, it wasn't Brees.

Ah, my mistake then. True about the last part. I am genuinely curious on how he's not what he's made out to be. He does take a lot of chances, but I feel like he has the accuracy to pull through the majority of the time.

YES, to HELL with spread offenses!! Love me some old school style teams.

Add this to the list of great playoff finishes in franchise history. The niners just got rid of a beast.

Oh man... imagine if the Packers win tomorrow. The NFC Championship game would be between the # 1 Pick in the 2005 Draft and the 24th Pick in the 2005 Draft.

YES! I hate those finesse teams from mambi-pambi land.

Offense has to do better though. I'm gonna put that on the OC though. He seemed to pull a Cam and forget he has a probowl RB on the team. There were times it seemed like he forgot he was allowed to run it.
