While they did address this a few years back, it's painfully obvious with the continued history of injured players, Brees included, that ownership/management needs to keep the medical team on their toes. Maybe they are complicit with the coaches, SP specifically, and that DA learned the same tricks. For us fans, it is painful to watch and takes the edge off of the excitement and disappoints us...maybe even plays into the narrative that games are sometimes predetermined. I sure hope not. It feels as if we've taken a step back or two. Likely the best attitude is to do what Foreverfan used to say : Expect us to lose and be surprised and pleased when we do win. Sucks nonetheless.
