Re: Brees to start on Sunday vs Chiefs
 
The Dolphins actually did a solid job on defense vs the Chiefs last week. It's not impossible. Jenkins hopefully will play great in coverage vs Kelce. Just be persistent and disciplined, the Chiefs can be beat.

Who else believes that if the Saints had beat Philly last week, Brees would not be playing Sunday?

Hey it's simple, I'd leave it to the professionals...seriously doubt they'd throw him to wolves if he wasn't ready. And yes people, the folks involved are better informed and more professionally trained to make these decisions than the rest of us, contrary to what some believe.

I don't think it's true.

Jeff Duncan said today that from what he has been told, this week (KC) was the target for Brees' return for sure, with a possibility of returning last week. So, winning or losing last week doesn't sound like a factor. I sure wish it could have been last week.

Absolutely. The player, the front office, AND the medical staff all have to be on the same page. I have heard this repeated many times over when it comes to returning from injury.

I’d say there’s merit to this.

Good matchup.

Kelce is a problem.

If there was any dependence, of which I believe Jeff Duncan in saying there wasn't, I would think it would have been the other way around. Had we won we would still be in the driver's seat for the #1 seed making this week's game even more important. As it stands now we can lose this game and still have a good chance at the #2 seed. That could have been an argument to give Brees another week, if needed.

I bet Sean showed that play to Taysom 40 times this week in film study. Throw it with a more touch and less mustard, AK runs for at least 7-10 yards instead of a pick. That INT was a momentum changer for sure.

Lesson learned I hope.
