Again, beat your drum all you like. Teddy isn't going in.

You asked for the stats, so I showed them to you.

We were never the same team again after Thanksgiving last year. It's the reason I really don't get all worked up and angry over the non-call in the playoffs (which would've been an INT and possible pick 6 if Nickel-Robey had his eyes on the ball instead of trying to murder the receiver). The way they played for that last month of that season, I was never confident they were beating New England in the SB. We most likely score more than 3 points, but the Pats would've shut us down like every other team had been doing. They had the personnel to follow Dallas' gameplan and execute it well enough.

Everyone blames injuries, o-line and play calling. But fact is; Bree is 40 years old and these guys all hit a decline eventually. It happened to Favre after his big epic season at 40, it happened to Manning at 39, Brady declined last year and looks even worse this year at 42 and it's also happening to Brees.
