Brees to start on Sunday vs Chiefs

WhoDat!656 · 12-18-2020, 10:53 AM

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

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.

I’d say there’s merit to this.

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.

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.

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 don't think it's true.

Can't wait to see what the game plan offensively will be on Sunday.

Heavy run packages? Chiefs are suspect (lowest 5) on run defense.

Patrick threw 3 picks & had 3 sacks yet they still put up over 30 points(Kelce was lights out) on a good Miami Dolphins team.

The entire O line collectively must perform better. Same goes for Will Lutz.

This melee between Oak and AG seems to be a draw.
To break this tie, I think we should look at avatars.

While I do think AG's is great. Oak takes it.

It’s tough to not have one’s (or onto others) Jimmies rustled when it comes To talking about something as passionate as Saints fandom. One of the most pissed my oldest brother and I ever got at each other started as a discussion about Scott Shanle.
