PFT: Officially, Drew Brees is virtually certain to play

[Sydla]

He'll play against us, tear us apart, then his shoulder will hurt again and he'll miss the Eagles game in a few weeks.

 

[Staubacher]

And the lawn-chair folding committee shows up again.

I for one am usually positive. But there is disaster looming. You simply can't lose Romo for half a season, Dez for 6 weeks and a litany of defensive guys and expect to win.

 

[DallasEast]

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.

Best to worry about New Orleans first, see what the Dallas does with the Saints during Weeden Round 2, and evaluate what he and the rest of the team can or cannot do at that point. That's realism. Automatically writing off all games for <insert> reason is totally white flag mania.

Thank you, Little Miss Sunshine. Are you always this optimistic or did we just catch you on a good day?

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

I am already getting sick to my stomach thinking about how every single incompletion he throws will be blamed on the shoulder. Every nice pass will be so heroic and courageous. They will make him into some warrior for playing.

 

[Fletch]

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

Give up much?

Click bait. I fell for it. *sigh*

 

[cajuncocoa]

Give up much?

I swear, if I had some of these guys on my team, I'd bench them. If they're lucky. I might just cut 'em before they destroy the morale of my whole team.

Maybe we.ll get a hurricane katrina reference too, that would be.awesome

 

[DallasEast]

My going to the game has one built-in personal blessing for me.

I won't be forced to listen to Al Michaels all game long. Hallefreakinglujah.

[erod]

I'd feel much better with Hardy and Gregory on hand.

You DO realize that he single-handedly saved the City of New Orleans after that hurricane, don't you? /sarcasm

I don't know if they're finished crying about Katrina, but I'll bet THIS gets mentioned:

Drew Brees surprises two inspiring Saints fans on 'Ellen'

LOS ANGELES -- Marine Corps veteran Jackson Smith told a stunningly beautiful story last month to the Washington Post about a Drew Brees cutout and the joy it had brought him while in combat and his friend, Brian McKenna, after he was paralyzed in an accident.

For the second time Drew Brees had shown up to bring some measure of hope and good will to a person at their lowest point. I don't think he knows the magnitude of what he has done for me or for my best friend. I wouldn't expect him to, as he has affected so many thousands of people in the same way. His impact on the city of New Orleans has been discussed in many forums, but it cannot be exaggerated. He has embraced his role as a symbol of hope, and he carries that burden every day with the grace and selflessness that have made him my city's favorite son.

In an appearance on the Ellen show this week, Brees got a chance to say hello to the two fans, and it was pretty much all of the feelings from there.

Brees produced a $40,000 check on the show, saying he, his wife Brittany and the company Shutterfly wanted to buy a high-tech wheelchair that McKenna has been testing in recent weeks.

They don't call him "Breesus" here for nothing.

Shocker...

We can't catch any sort of break

I don't know. This might be a break in disguise. I'm not sure Brees is 100%. He's the kind of guy who will say he is, even if he's not. And we've played against him before and beat him when he was 100%.

I wish everyone here would stop giving up before we even kick off.

 

[dfense]

Brees and his 2 TD's 2 picks and QBR's of 51.7 and 29.4 in the last two games. Good for #26.

Nope. Jerrah sold his hips to the Devil.

 

[cajuncocoa]

EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS POST:

Y'all are a little worried? Well, Saints fans are too. My son listens to a lot of local sports shows (he's a Pelicans fan.) He was listening to a local call-in show yesterday and reported to me that Saints fans are PLENTY worried about this game, even though they fully expected Brees to play.

 

[DallasDomination]

Saints are a few plays away from being 3-0
I'm not sure why people think they're that terrible. Sure Brees ain't close to what he used to be, but that team is desperate right now.

We better come to play, especially on defense.

 

[Alexander]

He'll play against us, tear us apart, then his shoulder will hurt again and he'll miss the Eagles game in a few weeks.

LOL, probably so.
