NEW YORK -- Comments on the New Orleans Saints by the AP Pro32 panel (ranking in parentheses):

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (17)

Chris Berman (ESPN, 14) -- You can set your watch to when Drew Brees does not throw a touchdown pass; once every four years.

Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 16) -- Was that Drew Brees throwing five picks? Looked like imposter.

Cris Collinsworth (NBC Sports, 17)

Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 16) -- Too little, too late for the 5-7 Saints.

Bob Glauber (Newsday, 19) -- Looks like that burst after an 0-4 start is finally over. Only a miracle saves the Saints.

Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 19) -- QB Drew Brees has thrown 50 or more passes in three games this season and the Saints have lost all of them.

Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 17) -- So the Drew Brees streak is over. Now, when does Bountygate end?

Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 18) -- Drew Brees can handle a pass rush, but not this kind of pressure.

Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 18) -- It appears the season is lost and it is a shame. Brees tried to do too much and it has been ugly the last few games. This team will bounce right back next year.

John Lynch (Fox Sports, 17) -- The Saints just lost to the Falcons and now they travel to the Giants to face a ticked off Giants team.

Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 18) -- That really wasn't Drew Brees forcing passes, mismanaging the clock and throwing five interceptions against Atlanta, was it?

Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 19) -- They came up awfully small in two of their biggest games of the season the last two weeks.
