treeduck Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 With the Vikings beating the Texans, the SAINTS are finally officially eliminated from the play-offs. It was kind of funny that we were somehow still alive to this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Drew Brees not receiving Pro Bowl praise despite gaudy statistics By Larry Holder, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune on December 27, 2012 at 3:22 PM, updated December 27, 2012 at 3:24 PM Print Maybe Drew Brees' success became the New Orleans Saints quarterback's worst enemy. He became the first player in NFL history to compile three seasons of 4,500 yards passing in last week's win in Dallas. If Brees throws one touchdown pass this Sunday against Carolina, he'll be the first player in NFL history to have consecutive seasons with at least 40 TD passes. New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (9) looks for a pass interference call at Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on December 23.David Grunfeld, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune) Brees could also lead the NFL in passing yards and passing touchdowns for the second straight season. In fact, Brees only needs 304 passing yards in Week 17 to pass the original single-season passing yardage record held by Dan Marino in 1984, a record Brees now holds after last season's 5,476-yard performance. And yet it almost seems like it's been a ho-hum season for Brees despite all of his record-breaking statistics. Brees didn't make the Pro Bowl for only the second time in his seven-year Saints career and the Saints will sit at home for the playoffs. "In the end, as a quarterback, it's did you win or did you lose, did you go to the playoffs or did you not, did you have a chance at the championship or not," Brees said. "That's what drives you." Panthers Coach Ron Rivera said it's unfair for those around the league to take Brees' statistics for granted and pass them off as Brees just being Brees. Rivera said because record-breaking statistics are what other teams expect, the 'wow' factor may disappear when Brees only has a good season compared to other Brees seasons. "But again, Drew's a product of his own success too," Rivera said. "Let's be honest about that. The guy's had a terrific career. Ever since getting to the Saints, it's been getting better and better and the expectations get a little bit out of touch sometimes. "People think he's going to do it all the time. It is hard, because people are really trying to study and learn what the Saints are doing and as people understand a little bit more each year, it's going to be harder. It's harder and harder and it's tough, but Drew really is one of the better ones and is most certainly a class act." Saints wide receiver Lance Moore agreed with the sentiment that Brees has set the bar so high that if another player holds Brees-type numbers that it hurts Brees even if the Saints quarterback has just as good, if not better, statistics. Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers, Atlanta's Matt Ryan and Washington's Robert Griffin III were voted to the Pro Bowl in the NFC. Brees was named an alternate, according to a league source. "When you look around the league at guys who aren't always in the Pro Bowl who are also having good years, I think it's harder for the guy that's a repeated Pro Bowler to get the nod," Moore said. "The hype that's surrounding RGIII is something that's been unavoidable all season. Matt Ryan is having a great year. You would always love to have your guy there, but that's kind of the league we play in. Whoever has a lot of hype and can get a lot of votes, it just works out that way." At this point, it could be Brees' mistakes that have become more memorable because players and coaches aren't used to seeing them. Brees' worst stretch in 2012 occurred when the Saints needed him most. Brees combined for nine interceptions against the 49ers, Falcons and Giants to help push the Saints out of playoff contention. "It's an honor when you have coaches and players that you respect say that kind of thing. It's also a big responsibility," Brees said. "You guys have heard me say it, you're only as good as your next performance. Regardless of what happened last week, the week before, whatever, I want the lasting impression in people's minds to be something really good. "We have one more game. I want it to be really good for this team, not only the result but the way we play, I want to be sharp. I want to be really good in the pass game, really good in the run game. A really great team effort. Get a win, go out feeling good. The expectation level is always high so it's not like others are putting higher expectations on us than we do. Nobody can be more critical of ourselves than us and nobody can put higher expectations or loftier goals on ourselves either." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Sean Payton, Saints reach five-year contract extension By Dan Hanzus Around the League WriterPublished: Dec. 28, 2012 at 07:07 p.m. Updated: Dec. 28, 2012 at 08:05 p.m. The New Orleans Saints have acted quickly to eliminate what was shaping up to be a major offseason question mark. Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer reported Friday that the Saints and Sean Payton have agreed in principle to a new five-year contract extension that will keep Payton in New Orleans. Some details still need to finalized and the contract awaits league approval, a source familiar with the agreement told NFL.com's Albert Breer. Payton has been away from the team while serving a year-long suspension for his role in the Saints' "bounty" program. His contract had been set to expire and Glazer had previously reported that Payton would "keep all his options open" if he couldn't reach a new agreement with the Saints. The Dallas Cowboys were a hotly rumored destination, though that was likely a case of leverage in negotiations more than anything else. Dallas is in contention for a playoff spot and coach Jason Garrett's job is reportedly safe, according to Glazer. Payton and the Saints had little reason not to do business sooner rather than later. This is a smart move for the Saints, who acted aggressively to retain the coach that took them to their only Super Bowl title. The Saints have work to do to return to contending status in the NFC, but keeping Payton in house is a huge step in returning this wayward franchise to pre-"bounty" normalcy.
