I'm sure that there are a million things that players disagree with but as a professional, when they hit the field its supposed to be us against the world. I dont see any players deliberately not doing what they are supposed to do to spite Brees or any other player.

All the things that went wrong in that game and he says that they ruined his Mojo? That's just lazy and him doing what he does best. Stirring the pot with a dumb statement.

I disagree with you, and I think you've missed what the article states. He didn't say they killed just Brees' mojo. He said they killed the team's mojo.

It's also not about players intentionally not doing things to spite Brees. It's about the fractured state of the locker room, that he believes, and I would tend to concur, have probably affected that team. Brees gave in to their demands to get by, but after the nasty things that were said to him, it's hard to believe they could ever be a cohesive unit again.

I believe you said something earlier about other teams being undefeated as an example why the Saints shouldn't be affected. I fail to see how that has anything to do with the Saints. Can you name another team who had any player, much less the starting QB, get verbally assaulted by his teammates? All the other players around the league just fell right in line, because they didn't want the backlash, one would assume. But Brees spoke his mind, got attacked, and gave in. The so-called "leader" of the team has now been neutered. Unless you can point to another example of that happening, I don't think any of your arguments hold water, my friend.
