You can't give all the credit to Brees' mobility. Don't you think he would have been sacked once or twice in Philly last week? Bottom line: he moves better than Bled, but they also protect him better.

...but let's be honest here. They didn't institute that timing horn in training camp just for Romo or Henson's benefit only. I remember some of the media saying how obvious it was that Bledsoe held onto the ball longer than Romo.

I'm not claiming this proves Romo is the better QB. It may show that Bledsoe holds onto the ball longer.

This makes life tough for an offensive line.

Sean Payton apparently knows how to protect the QB

:bow:

What gives... isn't he using a reject or 2 from our line

the only reject of our's is Pettiti, but he's on the bench

I thought they were stupid to trade up for Jamaal Brown last year, but he seems to be working out real nice for them

The eagles didn't blitz like they did against us, not even close. It was kind of shocking.

it's probably because the Saints were picking it up and/or Brees was getting rid of the ball quickly

Here's a little something else that didn't hurt the now 5-1 Saints ...

Deuce McCalister, Reggie Bush and Joe Horn (special mention to Drew Brees).
The intangibles mixed with their homefield and talents did you in. You've faced more talented rosters already, e.i Giants and Cowboys.

I only saw 3 quarters. Eagles didn't blitz Breez hardly ever. He was doing 3 step drops unloading to the backs/te's most of the game. Didn't know the Eagles didn't get any sacks. I saw Breez go down but they must have been caught back on penalties.

Johnson used a totally different game plan for Breez.
