I've heard a rumor that Brees got injured vs Atlanta and was not the same since.

What play was this supposedly on? I've deleted it from my DVR and long term brain memory.

I don't recall, but there is an article out there which I skimmed over last week detailing this. Try and find that article. I wish I would've read it in detail, but I didn't have time at that moment.


It was a compelling case though, and I find it to be most likely. Brees was off the remainder of the season.

Warren sharp on twitter wrote about it. Basically he just compared deep ball numbers before and after that int. And also the obvious drop off in offense. The guy is smart when it comes to nfl handicapping but it’s all heresay

Look him up on Twitter @sharpfootball and go to about a week ago. He has a few tweets about it

Could have sworn in the Dallas game Drew fell on his throwing shoulder in a weird way.

Or maybe the was Armstead.

Either way Dal/Atl game is where the fall began.

I've thought he was injured for months now.

He just didn't look right, and age wouldn't hit you all of a sudden-like in the middle of a season.

I always thought the hit by bennett during philly game could have been the issue. It was during a throw that sailed out of bounds. His arm came to a dead stop while throwing.

I think this is true. His play dropped off from that moment on.

It was the play where he threw an interception and the ref didn't play the play dead, even though the WR clearly touched the defender while down.

Brees stupidly tried to make a tackle inside the 10 (he might have been taking on a block instead).

A lot of people simply refused to admit that Brees' play has fallen off. But, he was playing at such a high level prior to this.
