First of ALL, its SEVEN games not eight as the Dallas media keeps reporting.

Here is my ranking for most likely to win games 1-7, easiest to hardest.

1. Atlanta - Dallas will be fired up for this game, us vs. the world mentality. Weeden will be confident from his performance last week. Defense and special teams will also be confident.

2. @ Saints - assuming Brees is OUT, this will be a battle of backups. Dallas has better defense.

3. @ Buccaneers - by week 10, the Bucs may be hitting a mid season stride or may be imploding. The should be a better team than last year though, so this is not the typical gimme we might hope for.

4. @ NY - with two weeks to prepare (and possibly 4-0) Dallas could be riding a lot of confidence into this game. NY has talent though so they won't go down easily, especially if Manning is still not turning the ball over.

5. Philly - potentially an easy W if Philadelphia is imploding. However, Philly hates us and their front 7 is the best part of their team. Meaning it could be hard for whoever is our backup.

6. Seattle - this could be a 10-9 kind of game. Seattle's grind it out style might actually play to our advantage, making this a game decided in the trenches.

7. New England - nothing easy about this game. May set up rematch in Superbowl.

Brees is not even scheduled to be out this coming Sunday. The whole thing that went down yesterday was just one big rumor that originated by either NFL Network or ESPN and didn't pan out.

Brees and Payton themselves both came out yesterday and said those rumors were exaggerated

The exaggeration part was gone for season or several weeks. There is a possibility he can play this weekend and possibility that he will miss multiple games. Its a strength issue. If he doesn't have strength he can't throw downfield. Pretty simple.

I actually think atlanta is the hardest game after the patriots and Seahawks. Really hard to judge the NY and eagles games though
The first 2 games were beyond weird. If Eli is a goof dallas loses even with a 4 pint spot. Dallas could really do anything vs the eagles offensively. The d looked good but bradford was way off and a ton of dropped balls. I'd say atlanta has a better offense than both NY and philly.

Even if Brees plays there's no way he'll be anywhere near 100 percent and we whooped their *** last year when he was fully healthy

I saw a graphic on NFL Insiders yesterday that showed before the Romo injury, the Cowboys were expected to be favored in EVERY one of those 7 games including NE. With Weeden they were only favored in 2 or 3.

I won't pick them in any of those games. Not a one.

I'm sure they'll win a game or two with Captain Stank QBing, but I aint about to predict it.

Local media.

Report: 'Reasonable possibility' Brees could play Sunday

New Orleans - WVUE Drew Brees thinks there is a 'reasonable possibility' he can play Sunday against Carolina, according to ESPN's Ed Werder.

The report said Brees went to see Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion on his shoulder and that Brees was told to rehab hard. His response to the treatment will determine his playing status.

Dude, if you don't even know your own post history then I can't help you. I'm not going to do research about you for you. LOL

I asked you for specifics. You offered nothing. Because you have nothing. You are simply regurgitating the nonsense of those around here who can't stand that I'm far more right than they'll ever be.
