My god, Drew Brees is good. Behind a season-high 371 yards, Brees threw five touchdowns (three in the second quarter) to five different receivers in a total N'awlins beat down of the Patriots, who looked about as prepared and up for this game as FEMA. Brees tossed as many touchdowns as he did incompletions, finishing with a perfect quarterback rating of 158.3. The average time of the Saints' four touchdown drives was, as the Boston Globe points out, 2 minutes and 44 seconds. The Saints also racked up 480 total yards of offense and completed plays of 25 yards or more seven times. The offensive beat down was so complete, so precise, Bill Belichick even went out of his way to congratulate Brees. How often does that happen?
