So if Brees is the only one who everyone says is the victim, why is the team as a whole not playing well?

My point is people need to stop making this an excuse. They supposedly resolved this during the summer. If this fractured this team then they weren’t that strong to start with. I don’t have to be your friend to accomplish a team goal.

For a group of professionals that is not acceptable and for a player of Brees statue, along with other veterans and captains on this team. I think/hope that they/he could overcome this. If it was that much of an issue, as I said Brees should have stood on what he said and if they didn’t like it, retire. Why put yourself through all this. If as you said he let another man “neuter him” then he should have manned up. As I said before, Brees could have simply stood on his belief or walked away.

Brees doesn’t play defense and he isn’t having issues with timing. He is however not able to push the ball down the field and has been inaccurate on some of his throws when he is trying to put some velocity on the ball.

If this team was 3-0 or even 2-1 this wouldn’t even be a conversation. Now the reason we are losing is because of mojo....

Team chemistry, vibe, mojo is real; it may be irrational at times, but it is very real...

I know that team chemistry is real but as I mentioned we wouldn’t be talking about something that happened over the summer if the team was playing better. All this could have and should have been handled better. If they let the media destroy their chemistry then shame on the leaders of this team.

A strong team can overcome disagreements and disappointment. Maybe this team wasn’t a strong as we thought but on field performance as it relates to the coaches and players is what’s hindering this team.

Stats tell the reason why we are 1-2. Defense can’t get off the field and the offense can’t stay on. Payton refuses to stick to the run. These are our main issues all this other stuff is speculation.

The thing that made us dangerous on offense was the intermediate routes in the middle of the field. We no longer have that in our arsenal with Brees. Or WRs have zero YAC. Only AK has YAC because of where he is catching the ball on screens and option route at the line of scrimmage.
