PFT: Officially, Drew Brees is virtually certain to play

[juck]

Per ESPN.

 

[jwitten82]

Of course he is. Im sure that's not the only injured player theyre getting back for this game.

 

[LandryFan]

Yea, I heard that on SIRIUS Radio a little while ago. On the upside, Brees should be a stationary target for the pass rush (if one even exists).

 

[juck]

2-2 a comin. Saints are desperate and home. We have Weeden.

And that is the problem, none exists

 

[cajuncocoa]

That probably accounts for the huge collective sigh of relief I just heard outside my open window.

 

[remdak]

I am not worried about that. He's still wounded and has lost 6 straight games at home. If the Cowboys lose, it will be because of Weeden and/or the defense. I wouldn't feel any better if McCown were starting. But, if they can't get any pressure on the QB, either Brees or McCown will do well.

 

[Hailmary]

Jhari Evans might not play though which I think could be huge.

But you were ready to give up even if Brees sat this one out, weren't you? Good grief.

Please don't post in the game thread Sunday night, OK?

Were they not desperate at 0-1 at home against the worst team in football in 2014? What about after 0-2 at Carolina? I guess it finally clicked at 0-3 that they should probably try to win a game.

 

[Staubacher]

This is all set up for a big Brees "I'm not done yet" party on SNF.

Actually no I never gave up. Im also realistic here. It would be a miracle if we are at 500 by the time Romo comes back.

 

[cajuncocoa]

And the lawn-chair folding committee shows up again.

 

[LandryFan]

And that is the problem, none exists

I know...maybe after the bye one will, though (I'm not counting on a whole lot from Hardy his very first game back, but a one game reprieve is ALL he's getting). By then, all hands should be back on deck at full-go.

 

[juck]

I guess some do not understand reality.

 

[DallasEast]

I'll be there in the Superdome Sunday night, just like two years ago. I may flip out if something happens to Sean Lee again...

This is a better team than back then. The Saints have steadily gotten worse since our last meeting. The advantage is ours. The only question is whether everyone does their job well-enough to secure the win.

 

[juck]

This team goes as Romo goes.

 

[cajuncocoa]

I guess some do not understand reality.

I'd prefer our chances with Romo and Dez, of course. But I wouldn't say these guys can't win a game, especially against this Saints defense. Unless something has dramatically changed since last week, Rob Ryan's defense SUCKS.

 

[erod]

Drew Brees isn't Drew Brees anymore.

Neither is the Super Dome. The Saints have lost six straight there.

It'll be a close game.

 

[cowboys1981]

Man, people will come out of a coma to play Dallas.

We still got this game. He's not near 100% and he has a crappy Oline which probably caused his shoulder injury. Bring on these chumps, they were just as desperate last week vs Carolina. That means nothing. Our guys want it as bad as they do. It's a matter of execution and who does so more consistently.
