Brees?

I think it was Aikman who said during the game that he thought Drew wasn't "throwing the ball with authority." Sure enough, watching him after that, his throws looked a little wobbly (by his standards of course). He was still moving well and making good decisions, but his downfield throws were only average where he is usually outstanding in that dept.

Aikman also speculated that he might have had some kind of hand injury or something. If anyone knows about throwing accuracy, it should be Troy Aikman.

Exactly. Even he thought something was a bit off.

And yes, I've played football before. Has nothing to do with my eyes. I can tell the difference between putting yourself into a throw and pushing the pass, and it just seemed like he was doing that a lot. Even a few times during the Arizona game. And not saying he's awful. Brees is insane. But he just didn't seem to be throwing with a lot of authority. Over threw more passes than I've seen him do before. Could be nerves. Won't dispute that. But I know I wasn't the only one noticing something different.

My brother is a kool aid drinker. Ha ha. He's hard core about the Saints. I think his name on here is savant. We are different types of fans, I guess. I have the habit of when even though we win, I think we should have done something better. Should have scored a TD on that drive. Needed to be more consistent in the running game. He will just tell me to enjoy the game and I'm too critical. But that's usually during the game. Once he cools down by like monday or tuesday, he usually says "Yeah. You have a point. But....." Ha ha ha.
