Championship!

Hmm! the faint spark of glimmer comes out of the darkness.

I'll say this, if (and it's big IF) we get all of our gusy on the field, execute, don't make stupid mistakes, and come out healthy with a win we may be able to go for a wildcard spot. That would be something.

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

Not to be a debbie downer, but we don't know if they practiced.

We only know they dressed out and participated in individual drills.

Still good news tho.

Not saying he will be an all pro, but this guy will be playing this Sunday.

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)

Exciting.... If anything come on guys beat the panthers I wanna see Cam Newton all discouraged

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

I know we can win without Brees. More concerned about our receivers. Watching other teams, seems like they are wide open 45% of the time and usually snag one or two spectacular catches a game. We can't do any of that right now, even when there is time to throw.

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

I'll believe they are playing when the game starts on Sunday, until then I don't believe any info

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

0-2 in the division is almost a death sentence. they know this. all hands on deck.

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

That would be a pretty big deal if Byrd, Ellerbe, Lewis and Spiller were able to play in this game.

It sure would be interesting to see that defense. Could really mean a lot to our team.

But boy our offense needs a difference maker in the WR group. Who knows, maybe one of our younger players will step it up.

It's the 3rd game of the season...Carolina and Atlanta can catch a 2-3 game losing streak easily seeing the way they've been struggling early in games this season..Still a lot of season left

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

Can I get an Amen?

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

Practicing doesn't = playing.

Actual Byrd sighting ...

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

Brees didn't really practice.
He was at practice, but didn't throw.

Having Lewis back is very encouraging. Byrd? Who the hell really knows at this point?

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

No kidding. Lol. At this point no one really knows what's going to happen with anyone. Guess we'll wait for the injury report later this week.

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

First thing that came to mind with me also, lol.

I love that Brees is trying to get to the point of playing, he is our best obviously. But the look of his throws in the second quarter last week is the thing that is foremost for me with just what this injury actually is and how effective he can be.

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

I think this group has the talent to do some really great things. We need all of them on the field and fully healthy to realize their potential as a unit. It could happen but I doubt it will be this week. There is a possibility that two of them could play exceptionally but we won't be fielding players who are 100% and are in game shape. It takes a while to fully shake off the rust and get the mojo back.............so I'm told.

My biggest concern of course is Drew. I'm hoping Sean Payton limits his play calling to dink and dunk passes like he did when Drew first came here with a banged up shoulder. Who knows having to dial back his play calling to manage Drew's shoulder might force Payton to get creative again.

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

well the jet sweep with Cooks hasn't set the world on fire so I doubt he's got any other tricks up his sleeve

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

Agreed, and 0-4 in the Conference would seal up the back door. We simply must start winning.

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

By any means necessary.

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

I got $5 for anyone that knocks out Newton, anyone else want to chip in

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

Hey, that sounds like a bounty. I'm in.

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

Normally yes, but we reside in the worst division in the NFL so 0-2 isn't all that devastating.

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

Lets beat the Panthers with our backups.

Luke McCown drives us down the field, and lights them up.
Khiry Robinson goes on a tear, and runs wild.

Stephone Anthony & the D, even w/o our best CB, knock the snot out of Cam Newton, and stuff the Panther's O.

How would that look?

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

not me.
Cam might turn out to be our best player Sunday

Re: Drew Brees, Jairus Byrd and Dannell Ellerbe all practiced today (Wed)
 

By the way Brandon Cooks hurt his ankle this week too.
