Alex Smith should have got it for his performance vs the Bills.

The officials steal a game from the Chargers and hand it to Brees and the Saints on a silver platter and he wins offensive player of the week honors?!?

There are a half dozen guys off the top of my head that are more deserving.

That said OPW generally goes to a player on a winning team and the Saints should not have won that game.

They picked up the win, I’d think they should finish the job.

He is an all-time great player, a tremendous talent and a brilliant QB.

As much as I respect Brees as a QB I cringed when I saw him break Unitas’ record. He was jumping up and down with glee. I’m thinking to myself at that moment “you guys are 0-4..shouldn’t you save the excitement for getting a win?”

Not only was the other poster correct about how Drew treated this like any other TD, but within seconds of returning to the sideline he was already looking at game photos from the booth, studying.

Whether he throws a TD or an INT, he doesnt excessively celebrate or sulk. He goes back to the bench and studies, like a pro.

Congrat with a lot of BUTS.

That’s who won the game for the Saints.

He has all the ingrediance to be in the Joe Montana class. He deserves to be best offensive player. It’s hard to concieve the Chargers let this guy walk.

He does those types of things with his teammates on each TD he throws. So, if you don’t have a winning record you can’t celebrate a TD. Even if that had not been a record breaking TD he still would have ran to Devery and celebrating with his teammates. give the guy a break people. This whole offseason has been one attack after another.

If you want to know, the other day on a day off he went to the Audubon park in New Orleans with his wife and sons. How dare him smile and have fun with his family because he is 1-4. Give me a break people.

If you watched the Saints on the regular, you would know he did what he always does after the team scores a touchdown. He does some weird handshake thing with either Chase Daniel or Lance Moore, and then he chases down whoever caught the touchdown to hug them. Every touchdown he does the same thing. Also, the TD tied the score. It’s not like he celebrated down by 20.
