Everyone has to do their job and do it better....including Brees.

What you just wrote is a cop-out.

Not a total cop-out. There was an internal dust up, between DB#9 and team members, publicly, resulting in “floor is lava” commentary. How much that played, or still plays in the team’s chemistry is unknown. It wouldn’t be a huge leap of faith to see that breakdown as a negative and possibly affecting the team so much that it manifests in on the field confidence/play. That being said, it is my belief that DB#9 is no longer the “leader” of the team. Leader’s prove it with their play, there is no hesitation or indecisiveness, both of which I see in DB#9 almost every time he has to throw anything over ten yards.

It’s my belief that leadership, on the field of play through playing, would be the reason the Saints don’t make the playoffs, if they don’t. But I’m still of the mindset that this team is the team to beat in the NFC South, 13 more games to play, at least.
