I didn't want to believe the people saying Brees has lost it. I even defended him before the season, but now it's hard to deny that Brees just can't throw the deep ball anymore.

Maybe that oblique is still bothering him or he jinxed himself by saying he could play till he's 45. I do believe in karma.

The zip on the ball hasn't been there at all, throwing behind recievers and floating the ball when throwing deep, has been a bad sign.Our 100 million dollar man is missing a lot of throws I hate to say.

Maybe the direct product of throwing nearly 600 times a season? That could wear anyone's arm.

People said PT will start to decline now he's over 30 years old, but because PT has never had to carry the load he's never looked better

[QUOTE=OldMaid;616550]Add that this was a hard win. They came back from behind. It was at SDome. You know the media and their opponents will go with that "Saints W at home only."/QUOTE]

All of the failclowns losses have been on the road as well.

No your looking at YAC...

A screen that goes for 45 yds has nothing to do with Brees being able to throw the deep ball. Hill had a ton of YAC and Jimmy got about 7 yds of YAC.....

This is hands down the best WR group Brees has had in his career...

He's still hurting from that oblique pull in camp. That is all.

He did hit Hill in stride on a nice deep pass and hit Colston in the hands in the end zone. Drew is clearly not accurate on the deep ball as he was in say 2009, but he's gone through stretches like this before where he couldn't hit it. Just some little thing is off.

Who'd of thought @ DET would be so huge for this team? A win on the road against an offensive who is also struggling to score. Detroit did get beat in their house against Buffalo, so they are obviously beatable at home.

Win on the road @ DET, get back to .500, and shut everyone up about only able to win at home. Sounds good.

And Calvin Johnson is playing hurt. He left today's game.
