-Lions head coach Jim Caldwell had some harsh words about the officiating Monday after one of his two challenges was not reversed despite Saints tight end Benjamin Watson appearing to have a foot out of bounds as he made a fourth-down catch in the fourth quarter.

The No. 3 quarterback has been rookie Garrett Grayson, New Orleans’ third-round pick (No. 75 overall) this year. “We’re kind of taking it day by day”, Payton stated. Brees was unable to manufacture enough offense to get over the inept play of a young and woeful defense.

The entire league knows what veteran backup quarterback Matt Flynn can do. But, unlike Manning, Brees does not expect to miss any time.

“I see myself coaching this team long past this season”, he said, pointing out there have been lots of rumors in the past about him leaving the Saints and he’s still there.

It’s the second time this season Brees has dealt with an injury. “When my number’s called in the pass game, I’ve got to make a play”.

Brees had his NFL-record 10th consecutive season of 4,000+ yards this year and crossed over the 60,000-yard mark for all-time passing yards.

Levels of complication notwithstanding, Caldwell had high compliments for his quarterback, who started out the season on pace to have the worst year of his career, interceptions-wise.

Payton said Wednesday that he won’t be able to answer questions about Brees’ ability to play this Sunday until the team hears back from Dr. Anderson. “But whenever there is an injury, I think you spend a little bit more time looking at him, his strengths and weaknesses, what he does and how he operates”.

There’s no reason to risk any further injury, not with the Saints having nothing left to play for (save a better draft position).
