Do you really think he would have had more yards with Colston? They just would have been divided up differently.

That's not what I was going for with this topic... although Colston does have an impressive YAC so far.The point is we saw 500 yard game. It's worth noting.

generally 300+ yard passing games seem to be losing efforts. I dont have the stats (drinen?) but it seems that way.
I was trying to remember the last time I had even HEARD of a 500+ yard passing game, and couldn't. Man, Brees throws that up............and STILL loses...

The amazing thing to me is not that the Saints lost, it is that they only put up 16 points with 600 yards of offense.

I think this was the first 500+ game since Elvis Grbac did it as a Chief against the Raiders, in a 49-31 loss in 2000 I believe.

Van Brocklin (554 yards), Moon (527 yards), and Esiason (522 yards) all won their games, while Brees and Vince Ferragamo (509 yards) both lost. I was in attendance for Ferragamo's game - it took forever to finish.generally 300+ yard passing games seem to be losing efforts. I dont have the stats (drinen?) but it seems that way.

I remember watching that game by Moon. There were some drops that would have given him the record in that game as well, IIRC. I also believe Trent Green had a 500+ yd game several years back. I don't know where to look it up. It seems to me it was something like 505 or 510.

Make sure that we are not talking about OT games in these historical comparisons. Its easy to get an extra 100 passing yds in overtime.

Green's best was in 2000 vs Carolina with 431 as a member of the Rams. He best with the Chiefs occurred in 2003 with 400 against Green Bay. Perhaps you're thinking of Grbac's 504 yard game in 2000 which was mentioned earlier.

I remember this game as well. It was against the Chiefs. I even remember that Moon had the record on a pass to Heyward Jeffries and then was called back because of a penalty.

When your defense is playing poorly you have to do something. If it was a tight game and the defense was stout, you would of seen Bush with 15 carries and McCallister with 20+...Most of the time you are behind the majority of the game. But the picks were real bad. Im no Brees fan, but he looked AMAZING, then looked like old rookie Charger Brees.

i was tied at the beginning of the 4th quarter. they were down 3 points at the half. why did he have 24 pass attempts at the half? 294 yards passing at the half? it was a close game until the begnals blew it open and the turnovers compounded the situation. we should have been running the ball more. barely 20+ carries between deuce and reggie when the lead is within reach is a mistake.When your defense is playing poorly you have to do something.

I don't know how I missed that post, but I'm pretty sure that's the one I was thinking of.

Actually id argue it would be difficult to get 100 yards in an overtime period. If you are moving the ball well enough to throw for 100 yards, you have probably already scored.

The saddest part is being a Colston owner and being bounced from playoff contention because he was injured

I've seen this from both Brees and Eli a bit this year... just 2 or 3 INTs, much less the fumbles. Aint' just get in this shootout... and you are thinking... "yeah, he should finish with okay stats, all those turnovers and struggles, but he made up for it in the end"... and dude has 25 pts. Fantasy and real-life are different. But when they are outscoring Bulger (3 INTs on the year) or other QBs with good low-error games, I shake my head.

Unless you drafted him, you should be a bit more thankful that he saved your WR corps (in most cases).Many teams who reached for Colston that earlier, were already in a hole with their WRs.The saddest part is being a Colston owner and being bounced from playoff contention because he was injured
