Kind of surprised the Saints broke this news today. I would have had them continue to game plan for Taysom H.

The man, the myth, the legend.

Good luck on Sunday Brees.

In my mind I wanted brees back for the panthers also. A fine tuning for the playoffs. Now in my heart we had no chance for home field without Drew . Here we go

First let me say Brees did not have 11 broken ribs, he had 11 rib fractures. In no way undermining the severity but a dislocated / broken rib would be major possibly season ending. I’ve had 3 rib fractures on the same rib no lung involvement not fun but the fractures were not severe.

I think the only chance for home field is with Drew playing. With Taysom we lose 2 maybe 3 remaining games

It doesn't matter whom the QB is, if both OL and DL play like they did in philly, we will not be successful.

Brees' ability to make pre-snap reads and quickly move through his progressions will mean wonders for the offensive line. Having Davenport back and receiving a reality check should do the same for the defense.
