Half a century of history, so short, but so ups and downs, the New Orleans Saints never seem to have truly established the glory of a dynasty, and for most of the time they were bottom teams. Even after 2006, they were not very stable in performance due to the poor defense team.

But now, this team has become the soul of the city of New Orleans, with countless loyal fans, and an indispensable part of the National League. As long as Drew Bruce remains in the New Orleans Saints, this is a team that no one can underestimate.

It's like Payton Manning is to the Indianapolis Pony, Tom Brady is to the New England Patriots, and Aaron Rogers is to the Green Bay Packers.

The same is true for this game.

The 2008 season was not easy for the New Orleans Saints. The current record is the same as the Green Bay Packers, with five wins and five losses. The overall performance is still a bit unstable, sometimes good and sometimes bad, especially the performance of the defensive team is unsatisfactory, but the offensive team led by Drew Brees ranks first in the league!

This is an offensive team that has always had a stronger explosive power than the Green Bay Packers, and at the same time has a more stable offensive firepower that has been unique in the martial arts world!

Brees has been very hot this season, with passing accuracy, passing yards, interception numbers, touchdown numbers, etc., both of which are temporarily leading the league. Even though the performance of the defense team is not satisfactory, Brees also carried the entire team forward with his own strength.

All wide receivers, running backs and tight ends have become pawns in Brees' hands, transforming into role players, and their personal performance is ordinary and not much eye-catching; but in Brees' hands, they are blooming in multiple points, shooting in full swing, and the unpredictable passing line has become a nightmare for all defense groups.

The "mediocrity" of the receiver means the strong average strength, and every player may become a potential pass target for Brees, which also creates huge trouble for the defense team.

The ability of elite quarterbacks is showing their first glory.

Although Brees' defensive reading ability is not as good as Big Manning, his short pass layout ability is not as good as Brady, and his adaptability is not as good as Rodgers, his pass accuracy and passability that are superior to all quarterbacks are not as good as those of other quarterbacks. Brees, who also has the ability to cover every corner of the court, has the ability to cover every corner of the court, which also makes his pass offense second only to Rodgers, and his stability is even better.

From the 2006 season to the 2008 season, after two years of running-in, Bris and Sean Payne, the running-in with the offensive team officially entered the golden years.

More importantly, Sean Payton is also very scheming.

If Lu Yiqi was still surprised at the beginning of the season, he could make full use of his opponent's contempt and neglect and seize the lead in the pre-match tactical preparation level. Even if the team is still in the running-in period, his condition is a little ups and downs, but he can still hold on to the game until the final battle.

Now that the season is half over, Lu Yiqi has shown his abilities. Although the media and fans are always complaining, professionals can see the clues. And coaches like Sean Payton, who have a solid theoretical foundation, excellent on-the-spot command, and excellent adaptability, are even more unlikely to make mistakes.

Looking at the whole game, Sean Payton's technical and tactical dispatching was always ahead of Lu Yiqi.

In the first quarter, both sides were evenly matched. Although there were some mistakes on both ends of the offense and defense, the wonderful showdown between them continued throughout the whole process. At 14:14, the two teams jointly contributed four touchdowns, which was also considered by analysts and commentators to be the most sparkly first quarter this year.

As can be seen from the score, the Green Bay Packers defense team was unable to stop Brees who had full firepower; similarly, the New Orleans Saints defense team was unable to stop Rogers who had a flexible tactical situation.

On the defensive level, Lu Yiqi has been trying to disrupt Brees' rhythm through pressure on the front line. Brees's pocket steps are better than Big Manning and Brady, and he is occasionally forced to run out of the bag and performs well, but this is still not his strength.

But Sean Payton's defense against the front line is very good. He obviously carefully studied the Green Bay Packers linebacker's timing choice; and the New Orleans Saints' offensive front line also performed well - at least better than the Green Bay Packers' pocket protection, including three Pro Bowl veterans who are not at their peak due to their state fluctuations or age, but their experience is still old-fashioned.

At least in the standoff in the first quarter, the Green Bay Packers' defensive frontline has not yet been able to find too good opportunities.

Neither defense team was able to perform well, so the game became a show of two quarterbacks killing each other, a real offensive battle.

In a single quarter, we jointly contributed four touchdowns! It has sparked countless discussions on social networks!

In the second quarter, Drew Brees once again destroyed the Green Bay Packers' second-tier defense with an impeccable pass attack, and unexpectedly connected to the unknown wide receiver David Patten, who completed the touchdown in his second touchdown in this game.

It was not that the Green Bay Packers' defensive second-line marking was unfavorable, but that Brees' passing layout in the dilemma. The passing choice broke the defense team's judgment and once again showed the elite quarterback's sharp grasp of the game situation, which allowed Petten to win a valuable opportunity to perform.

It is worth mentioning that New Orleans Saints' starting running back Reggie Bush missed the game due to injury. The 2005 Heisman Award winner was later notorious because he was involved in a scandal of receiving bribes on the eve of the draft. He had to announce his resignation of his Heisman Award.

Then at the 2006 draft, Bush, who was originally the No. 1 pick, was selected by the New Orleans Saints in the second pick.

However, after entering the professional league, Bush performed poorly in his first and second-year seasons, contributing 565 yards and 417 yards of ground propulsion yards respectively in the two seasons. For running backs, it can even be said to be at the middle and lower level. He also suffered an injury to cleft the cruciate ligament at the end of last year and missed the last four games of the season.

After returning from injury this year, Bush performed well, running 100 yards in the first three games, and also completed two punt-back touchdown feats against the Minnesota Vikings in the fifth week, which finally made people see the top performance of this talented player; but unfortunately, when he was against the Carolina Panthers in the seventh week, Bush's left knee was injured again and had to undergo surgery, and he will miss five games in the first and last week.
