Two Words: Drew Brees

Drew Brees.
Is there anything else to say?
After Sunday's performance agianst the Texans, that's all I can think of.
Brees lead his team to a 40 point day.  A day which he threw his first two interceptions of the year. That bears repeating.  Drew Brees lead his team to a 40 point day despite throwing two pics!
You don't have to be Sheldon from "The Big Bang Theory"  to figure this out, that there Saints QB is pretty darn good.
Ask the Texans. 
After being smoked like a brisket on a Texas spit, all they could do was spew cliches and platitudes.  "They're not unstoppable, we just couldn't stop them", claimed the chorus of Texans' DBs fresh off giving up nearly 400 yards.  You can hardly blame them for sounding so lame, I'm sure their heads are still spinning.  Spinning to left for Lance Moore, spinning to the right for Jimmy Graham.  Spinning like Linda Blair for Darren Sproles.  I mean, who can blame them for such foolish talk.
Once again Brees displayed why he should always be mentioned in the same breath as Brady and Manning.  After Matt Schaub hit TE James Casey on a 26 yard pass to put Houston up 26-17 with 14:54 remaing in the game, it looked like the Saints defense was gong to have to take another one on the chin.  Then Sean Peyton went to the empty backfield set.  This left Brees with the game in his hands.  Houston was forced to man coverage which created great match ups for the Saints.  Sproles, Graham and Moore were the benefactors of Brees' uncanny knack for pre-snap reads. A 27 yard pass to Graham that Brees could not have walked up and placed the ball any better. TD!  A 16 yard back shoulder to Moore. TD!  Two point conversion! A lucky bounce of the ball in Houston's favor followed.  No worries, Brees has this.  Sproles the the left, Moore on a quick slant, Graham up the seam. RB Mark Ingram, a 13 yard run. TD! Two 2 point conversion!
Throw in a pic from Jabari Greer and an end of game defensive stand and Houston was Texas toast. 
You could almost see the little birds flyng around their collective heads as they sat, crossed eyed, in amazement.
You could almost hear them mumbling just above a confused whisper. "Uh, what just happened?
What Just happened you ask?
Two words.
Drew Brees!
