When reporters asked Brees today whether he’ll play on Sunday, Brees answered, “That’s the plan.”

I hope so. That would mean he is ready to go. The Cardinals have won three in a row and we need to do everything possible to remain with only the one loss.

We really need homefield advantage if for no other reason than to exorcise our recent playoff demons...

Agreed but this 2019 team can win anywhere.

It's been a while since I've seen such a mentally tough group of guys assembled in NO.

I know this is the NFL and wins are wins...but three in a row against the Bungles, Failclowns and Giants??? There needs to be a really big * next to each of those games.

Not quite the same as the Seattle, Dallas, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville and Chicago...

I don't think this is a good idea. I'd feel better if he comes back after the bye week.

It may not matter what you think, or what any of us think, because we don't have a clue how ready he is. Have you talked to him and his doctors?

If he is completely ready why should he not start? Why even take a chance at being a weaker team?

Dayum Guido! He was just stating his opinion, why be condescending? I also believe they should wait after the bye cause I have teddy on my fantasy. Real talk, it will benefit more since the hand just healed to just give it time after the strenuous therapy he endured. Plus, I want the coaches to thoroughly examine teddy to see if he's the future.

Win or lose will not hinder the season. Remember, the hopes were that the saints could just win 3 games so Brees could carry us over, 5-0, let's ride this wave to the bye. What if brees do start and we lose. Don't need anyone going through the bye second guessing and if we lose with Bridgewater, the team will be just that motivated and hungry knowing Brees will be back under the center

It's his thing to condescend. I had a conversation with him about this topic a couple of weeks back. I have no idea whether Brees will be 100% healed by Sunday, and I won't claim to have any such knowledge. I would simply hope that if he is NOT fully healed, that they won't allow him to play because he is "good enough to go".

Guido's assumption was then, and still is today that Drew WILL be 100% if he plays. But there is no possible way to know that ahead of time, and yet he is quick to point out that nobody knows, and no one has spoken with the doctors... Duh. That's exactly MY point. And that's why we, as fans, are free to speculate and leave our opinions here. Otherwise, what the heck are we all doing in here? Of course none of our opinions "matter". I don't know how many times I've argued that condescending remark by reminding him that FOOTBALL doesn't actually matter. Sports, as a whole, do not matter, and yet, we tie ourselves up in it.
