His passes were end or end and the last one he made looked like a shot put. Did he hurt his arm in the fourth quarter?

It's called pressure in the biggest game of his life.

He didn't have a great game. We're still going to the ship

I was wondering the same thing. Brees did not have a bad game but he did not look like himself. Vikes have a great defense and I am sure that affected him but it almost looked like he was a little nervous which is not like him.

I am only talking about the last 3 throws. His arm was fine up until late in the 4th quarter.

The first half Brees had plently time and was making the right reads but understandably had a few adrenaline overthrows.

In most of the 2nd half and especially the 4th quarter, the pocket was just not there. Don't know what it looked like on TV but from my seat Brees could not set or step up at all during the home stretch. Doubt this will be a problem against the Colts.

He wasn't as accurate as I'm used to seeing, but hell, he threw them straight when he had to. Vikings D is damned good.

Saints defense and special teams stepped it up and won that game last night. Damn I'm proud of our defense. They kicked QB arse all night.

Nothing, but he DID have a 7-ft., 2-ton wall of Minnesota meat running at him full speed. I'm glad he made the best of it, though!

The TV people mentioned something must be wrong with his arm because of the last 3 passes. One pass was end over end. He must have gotten hurt late in the 4th quarter. Hope he is ok.

Brees threw a 10 yard pass in the 4th quarter that was a weak duck. Aikman started speculating about whether he was injured. he said most of his passes in the 2nd half were thrown "without authority." There better be nothing to this.

I heard and saw this for the first time as I watched the replay last night. I really hope they were just ugly throws and fortunately, there is an off week to heal up even if something happened.

I was thinking the same thing. That last pass to Meachem was awful. So unBrees like it made me nervous. It could've slipped out or may just be nerves on his part.

This is huge for Brees to be successful. Indy will not have that inside push that Minny had. FACT

I saw Brees last night, *Brace Yourself* are you sitting down? well.....his right arm was missing, nothing but a nub left. The whole team was searching everywhere for it. As of press time this morning, still no right arm, he said if he has to, he'll use his left one.

he was just lulling the colts into a false sense of security.

this, plus indy's cornerbacks, make me confident that our offense will play well in the Super Bowl.
