IF all these guys pan out Brees age won’t show much. I still think he had an injury they were keeping quiet. He was playing angry the first half of the season. I saw him take a few chances with his body last year that hadn’t seen in the past. He wanted it bad and was really putting himself out there.
Our offensive line injuries didn’t help his game much either. I’m not making apologies but the drop off was pretty sudden and started just about the time Armstead went down. After Armstead the rest of the line started getting beat up .

I think you may be right and I think I know when it happened. He was never quite right after this Thanksgiving game.

Watch the massive hit Brees takes on the INT return.

I remember wincing waiting for him to get up when I saw that. There was also a pretty good lick he took on a QB sneak. I forget who it was against. Still made the TD though. I thought it was Hill for a split second because of the way he punched it in.
