Drew Brees defends Saints’ playcalling prior to blown call in NFC Championship Game | First Take
Спорт
Saints QB Drew Brees has no problem with head coach Sean Payton’s reaction to the controversial missed pass interference call against the Los Angeles Rams and says everyone is dealing with the loss in their own way. Brees goes on to elaborate to Stephen A. Smith on the plays leading up to the blown call in the NFC Championship Game. Brees later confirms that he will return to play with New Orleans next season.

When Brees talks even if you hate the Saints, you listen up. Proud that he represents the Saints and It'll be a sad day when he leaves. That's why it hurt so much, Saints fans know it's his last years with us.

Kev Uchiha I don’t think this will hurt the saints to the point where they will miss the playoffs, I like there defense and I Ike the route they are heading going into the next season. I think they will be even better next year offensively, hopefully that consistency can remain throughout the season mainly because they’re going to get more receivers around Brees. I think the young receivers really messed up that chemistry he had and kinda changed his confidence in some of them. Hopefully that changes, but I do believe the saints have everything necessary to go back to the playoffs. Whether it be divisional or wildcard, I think they’ll get it done.

But in the reverse situation would they make that call against new england ,never, funny how in the 2 games against chiefs and rams there was not one holding penalty called against Patriots, though the Patriots held on a consistent basis, on the gronk pass which led to new England only touchdown 2 ol were blatantly holding the ram dls,of course no penalty, oh in the last coupla seconds with game over they called 3 penelties against Patriots to even things up, I will never watch another Patriots game and boycott any sponsor of Patriots games, I call for others to do same
The man in the back with the red beanie . He’s yup like Brees talking about my team YUP 🤣🤣🤣

It all boils down to the past 2 minutes of the game. No matter what happened before in that game didn’t matter because N.O. Had perfect clock management and had that call been made it would have ended the game clock with the Saints still leading the game period. There’s nothing else to discuss but disgust.

Drew Brees. What a class act ! A remarkable champion, and most of all, a humble decent human being who exhibits extrordinay stamina, character, resolve and stalwart. He no doubt reflect the character of the city of New Orleans. Everyone who are true students of the game knows who the authentic 2019 nfl superbowl champions are. Drew Brees ( in my opinion is a 2x nfl champion).The saints will be back with a vengence. Mark our word. The city of New Orleans i e. " The whodat nation" are no quitters.

Drew's pick in OT was a Saints killer. They had an awesome season until that OT.
They should blame eachother. Payton blew the game coaching and Brees blew the game playing. One multi-millionaire protecting another multi-millionaire.

No defending the play calling prior to the no call. Should’ve been running the ball and burning the timeouts. That’s solid and fundamentally sound play calling. Blaming the no call for the entire loss is just excuse making.
I just heard “pick in OT”
I respect the hell out of drew Bree’s I wish everyone on that team would react the way he reacted very classy guy, but everyone seems to forget about the interception he threw in OT that cost them the game......I understand if the penalty was called they wouldn’t of been in that position but it happened. They still had a chance to win after the missed call.
Drew is like the Dirk of the NFL and vice versa. Class personified. You can’t hate this guy. I deeply wanted him to see in the SB.
