The Saints are in trouble, but more importantly the Ghosts Fantasy team in the Bloggers Invitational league is going down in flames no thanks to Brees. Fortunately, we have an ace in the hole with Tony Romo as a back-up, but that means very little to Saints fans. Drew Brees is not only killing fantasy teams, but he's also killing the Saints in general.

The euphoria from last season has evaporated and whatever magic was marching along last season is GONE. Teams studied and have figured out Sean Peyton's gimmicks and trickery. The well is dry boys and it's time to go back to the drawing board, because what's happening right now ain't working. And the "ain't working" part is Drew Brees.

Brees is simply not the same lovable dude with a stain on his face, who ruled Bourbon Street last season. I know its early, but Brees has just one Touchdown, yup just one. Again, from a Fantasy perspective...we've got to say thanks Drew. In most leagues Drew Brees was the 3rd or 4th QB taken off the board, but he's been outproduced by Joey Harrington, Kurt Warner and even Drew Bledsoe...thus far.

Tonight was a nightmare as Brees added another 4 INT's, which moves his total on the year to 7. Considering he had only 11 INT's all of last season, I'd say this alarming. However, what's more alarming is the fact that Brees averages a meager 5 yards or so per completion. So, is that all his fault?

Well, partly it is. He is engaged to that stupid screen pass to Reggie Bush. You know the one that usually goes for -3 or -4 yards. Yup, it's funny when you hear people talk about Reggie Bush and how he caught 90 passes last season. Do they every mention those 90 catches went for 75 yards total. That's a joke, but do those screen passes ever work with Bush...ever?

In defense of Brees, it is the coach who calls the plays. However, when he is he going to check off that read and go down field? Oh yeah, that's right his WR's aren't quite as good as they were last season. And Brees is getting the shit blitzed out of him on a regular basis, umm...thanks offensive line. Regardless, Brees is not getting the job done for the Saints...or our Fantasy team.

And if matters could get any worse, word got out that Deuce will no longer be getting loose. Looks like we are finally going to see what Reggie Bush looks like carrying the rock 20-25 times a game. Unless of course, Sean Peyton will unleash his secret weapon Aaron Stecker. Argh, have fun with all that Drew.

Look, it's not hard feelings...I liked Brees when he was on the Chargers and was sad to see him leave. I rooted for him last season when he was making everyone forget he was too short to be a consistently dominant QB. However, when it comes to my Fantasy teams...if you fuck one of up, I've got an issue.

So, I can assure you be we are done riding this ship into the ground. Thank god for the Tony Romo experience. Our deepest apologies to all those affected by the Drew Brees Fantasy epidemic of 2007. And yes, we are fully aware that all Vince Young does is WIN. Thanks Saints...what a fucking bust.

Oh yeah, I had the Titans on the $$$ line, so I'm really not too upset.
