Drew Brees turned 40 earlier this month. His age leads to conjecture about whether he has missed on his last best chance to win another ring with the loss at home in the NFC Championship Game.
Brees, though, posted an uplifting message to Saints fans on Instagram on Monday.
“This will make us strong; this will bond us tighter,” Brees wrote.
Brees obviously remains disappointed but also sounds hopeful in his post:
“I’ve spent this last week navigating the heartache and disappointment from the game. Some things within our control and some outside our control that caused us to fall short. So much of our motivation is to represent the Who Dat Nation with determination and resiliency. We want to play for you, fight for you, and win for you. You deserve that.
The longer I play I realize that we truly are one heartbeat with our fans. Our success is your success. Our disappointment is your disappointment. We are inspired by one another to accomplish things far greater than what we could ever do on our own.
Everything that has ever happened to this community, we have bonded together, galvanized and leaped forward every time. The frustration we feel now can be channeled in the same way. Pour that passion and emotion into your families and communities. Inspire others with your focus & determination and positive outlook. This will make us stronger, this will bond us tighter, this will be a source for our success in the future.
There is no place like New Orleans. There is no community like ours. No fans like the Who Dat Nation. I refuse to let this hold us down. I refuse to let this create any negativity or resentment. I embrace the challenge.
So keep your chin up, hold your head high, puff your chest out because WE are the Who Dat Nation and WE will always persevere.”

CLASS ACT! Mike
That's what I was thinking, Mike.
I watched Drew Brees as a high-schooler while he won a state title at Westlake High School, a bedroom community within Austin, Texas. He was a class act then, also.The NFL could use more like him and J.J. Watts from the Houston Texans...among others.

I agree on both of them. I rooted NO because of Brees. Mike
