What a hellova feat!

Go Saints!

[Long Mike]

The Saints have a win, despite not having a head coach. I think that's terrific! As for Brees, he will be in the NFL Hall of Fame. The following was copied from the Saints website.

* Sunday’s victory was the 300th regular-season win in Saints’ franchise history. New Orleans is now 300-390-5 in its 46th season in the NFL.

* QB Drew Brees completed 29 of 45 passes for 370 yards, four touchdowns, one interception and a passer rating of 110.4.

* Brees’ 40-yard touchdown pass to WR Devery Henderson with 2:58 remaining in the first quarter extended his streak of consecutive games with a touchdown pass to 48, breaking a tie with Johnny Unitas for the longest streak in NFL history. Unitas’ record lasted 52 seasons.

* The record-setting touchdown pass was the 292nd of Brees’ career, moving him into sole possession of seventh place on the NFL’s career list for touchdown passes and breaking a tie with Warren Moon.

* In his 100th game as a Saint, Brees surpassed 30,000 yards passing in his Saints career on his third-quarter touchdown pass to WR Marques Colston. Brees now has 30,114 yards passing in a Saints uniform.

* Brees has 54 games of 300 yards or more in seven seasons as a Saint, including four this season.

* Brees has thrown at least one touchdown pass in 90 of his 100 starts.

* Brees extended his NFL-record streak of games with 20 or more completions to 41.

WOW!

A World Class quarterback trumps everything else in the NFL.

I think the Bears and Red Skins are the only teams to ever reach

the Super Bowl without a quarterback.

^{Great job by Brees, he is a great QB for this day and age.}

^{Johnny U is still the greatest in my book. No one was tougher , no one could lead under pressure like him.}

^{If you even want a good sports read check out Johnny Uthe life and times of Johnny Unitas by Tom Callahan}

^{Best quote from the book "When men played football for something less than a living and something more than money"}

^{much respect to the old time footballers who brought the game to the fore front.}

Agreed. Brees is one of those guys who you can have your kid look up too. I looked up to the Elways Montana's of the day.

If the Saifs could get say a defense like Houston's we could get another ring

Or an O-line. Speaking strictly on the Bears behalf.
