Why does Brees diving end the play? It wasnt a slide. He wasnt touched down.

And where the hell did Ben Watson get those hands from.

Love Brees. That run for a first down exemplifies his approach.

Dude's my MVP so far. A real shot at 80% completions for the season, which would be batting .400 levels of ridiculous.
There are 5 guys above .700 this season, and another just a notch below. Not saying Brees isn’t having an amazing season, but we need a completion percentage+ stat or something because its just not that useful of a historical comparison.

I still can't get over that spot on the fake field goal. The Rams did everything right, Hekker made the play and the refs just screwed them. Only the NFL can have one of their marquee games of the season fucked over by an officiating mistake that was only magnified when they doubled down on it after the review. Just mind-numbing. They have the technology to splice multiple angles together and get that call right 100% of the time, and it's like they must have forgotten they had it, because there was no way anyone could have reasonably found him short.
