Anyone else heard anything about this?

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

Saints didn't expect Ware to play either in '09

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

Doesn't matter. Saints have to beat the Seahawks as they are. Even if we win, there's no guarantee we're the 1st seed. We'll have to win out against some super tough competition. We could win and still be 2nd or 3rd seed.

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

or the 5th seed if we start slacking like we did in '09

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

Sweet. We need any advantage that we can get.

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

Would rather the Hawks at full strength, even with this win it doesn't guarantee the Saints home field advantage .... guess BSPN forgot there is still FOUR more games to be played after this one

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

In '09 we sat many of our starters for the last 3 or 4 games of the year after the #1 seed was pretty much sealed in our favor. This year we have some super stiff competition and could split with Carolina, have a tough upcoming opponent in the Rams, and the Bucs keep getting better every week. Will be a tough stretch.

The Seahawks, by contrast, do not have a tough stretch to the playoffs. The Saints game is their biggest remaining opponent, although anything can happen any week.

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

Yep, as Halo states, we intentionally sat starters the last three games of the Super Bowl run.

In contrast, Seattle usually slides in with a losing record, so no changes there...


I want Denver. Brees OWNS Manning under the big lights.

I'm sure Sean and Rob is still game planning as if he were playing.

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

Hes listed as doubtful

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

pretty even, actually
Seattle also has the Rams and has to travel to NYG. Next week they are at SF in a short week, and they face the improved Cardinals

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

I think he's done for the year.

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

Or for his career.

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

I doubt the Saints are the 3rd seed this season. It's either 1 seed, 2 seed, or 5 seed (if Carolina wins both games against the Saints). It's also a slim possibility that they miss the playoffs entirely.

Sat, Nov 30

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports Percy Harvin suffered a setback with his hip injury and his status is "in doubt" for Monday Night Football.

Advice: Harvin was held out of practice Thursday and Friday after his surgically-repaired hip "flared up." Coach Pete Carroll confirmed he's working through some continuing soreness from making his debut in Week 11 and isn't expected to play coming off the Seahawks bye. Harvin is officially listed as doubtful for Monday night's game and his status should be considered week to week.

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

He's out.
Percy Harvin gets cortisone shots, won't play on 'MNF' - NFL.com

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

Won't believe it until kickoff and I see him on the sidelines wearing street clothes

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

Seahawks fans are thinking that players get a Cort injection to play... That is not always the case. Cortisone is an anti-inflamatory and he may have some impingement due to inflammation. I have had them before and they do not all work the same, there is some hit and miss with the injections and sometimes they leave you in more pain after the local wears off than you were in before.

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

Gametime cortisone shots for players who play mask injuries, allow players to play, but they end up with more severe injuries by games end. Instead of 3 week healing time, you risk losing the player for the season as they just re-injure the problem repeatedly for that game. Sometimes this causes another injury requiring surgery.

Are the Seahawks so desperate at WR they're willing to risk permanent or season ending injury to Harvin just for this game? I seriously doubt it.

Again, all this could be decoy crap to mask other issues, but if Harvin got the shot, good luck to him. I got a cortisone shot 20 plus years ago allowing me to run on my knee. Had my knee been left alone, it would have healed correctly and I wouldn't still feel that injury now. Today my doctor still talks about the mistake my old doctor made all those years ago pumping me with cortisone because that knee acts up and still bothers me.

Re: Harvin Suffers Setback
 

That's correct, the cortisone shot is not all cortisone, its a cocktail with a local anesthetic in it.

Harvin got a shot on Sat, 2 days before the game... He is in pain and i am sure the changes in weather and pressure are having something to do with it. I can forecast changes in barometric pressure with my shoulders, I have tendonitis in both of them.

Seahawks fans - 'if there is no structural damage he can play"... <-- really? LOL WTF.
