Something was definitely off with Brees in the final month of the season, I thought he was still struggling in the playoffs. There were certain plays in the NFCCG that seemed out of character for him.

Our offensive line was a patchwork group playing on crutches. I think Brees also may have had an injury issue that was kept quiet. Pair that with the fact defenses had figured out that if it was a pass it was probably going to Thomas.

If you watch tape of Brees after November and compare it to before, something was definitely off with his throwing motion. I think he may have been injured too. But it is definitely true our offense had been figured out. Dallas showed the world that if you focus entirely on Kamara and Thomas, we had nothing else to scare teams with.

Off a little? We were one penalty from the freaking Superbowl.

Let me calm down now...

There were a couple of injury rumors for Brees circulating last year from the Dallas game. I'm hoping they were true and he's recovered, because there definitely was something different about the way he threw the ball at the end of the year.
