It took some time, but with Brees and Brady you do see that they don't have the same physical traits some of their younger counter parts do for throwing the ball. It's going to be tough for these guys to beat guys like Wilson and Rogers now as they need to be game Managers and rely on schemes and the others around them to help them win.
I think the Saints really missed Michael Thomas tonight. But I'll give the Raiders some credit here. They were down 17-7, and rattled off 24 straight points to build up a nice lead. You had to feel like you were in bizarro land watching a Raiders opponent rack up the penalty yards and give your team a chance to take advantage of mistakes for once.
