Twitter: Brees needs thumb surgery; likely to miss Cowboys game *MERGE*

[nightrain]

Hope Brees is going to be OK and back soon. The league is better with him on the field..

The Saints weren’t winning that game with Brees. They are terrible outdoors. And Kamara is about to get a dose of what it’s like to be the lead dog. He’s always been a complimentary back.

Bridgewater won't be the starting QB when we play them it will most likey be Taysom Hill.

Why is that? Hill is more a gadget guy. Small hands for a QB(8 3/4") and a low Wonderlic score(17). He is also 29 years old with 7 career pass attempts. They traded for and retained Bridgewater for a reason. Unless he gets injured, he will be the starter until Brees returns.

Do not take Teddy and Shawn Peyton lightly.......the combination is more than enough to cover for Brees.

That's almost laughable. Do you really think that makes up for a Hall of Fame quarterback. I understand what you might be thinking. But you're wrong

Brees out a minimum of 6 weeks per ESPN. I’m sure a lot of people are happy about this. Next worthy opponent is Green Bay. 4-0 easy peasy.

I think Brees is faking the injury to avoid going head to head with my boy Prescott.

If Brees needs surgery then he could be out 6-8 wks?

Yep. Two month injury.

I'm happy we don't have to face him, not happy he's injured and missing significant time. He's awesome to watch when he's not playing Dallas.

If the Saints can win some games with Bridgewater that could actually work out for the Saints. I thought Brees wore down last year and started to show his age. Bringing him back fresh mid season could be a good thing providing they're still in contention.

nothing is easy peasy in the NFL. did you just start watching football?

 

[Dallasfann]

Still be a hard game. With the way our Defense is playing nothing is easy.

Nothing is easy.... Except the first 2 games we've played so far I agree with you NOTHING is easy.

 

[IndianaCowboys1994]

If he's out all those games I see 4-5 at best. They might still be in the hunt. A shame, really like Brees.

If Teddey can win 3 or 4 games during his absence, they should still be in a good spot.

Too bad they can't face the better teams at full strength. It would have given them a better idea where they stand come playoff time.

Or, it does not show our playoff opponents at our best on film to prepare.

The NFCS is wide open and if either Hill or Bridgewater can keep them in the hunt until Brees returns then the Saints will fine.
