If the Saints beat KC.....
I believe the Saints are capable of beating KC Sunday, but they will have to play a near perfect game to do it.
If the Saints do win with a banged-up Brees and without MT, that would definitely ratch up the pressure on GB; they won't be able to rest any starters. |

But, yes, that would turn the heat up on the Packers. |

Re: If the Saints beat KC.....
You are kidding yourself if you don't believe that Brees is banged up with 11 fractured ribs and a punctured lung.
The ONLY reason that Brees is playing Sunday is because the Saints lost the Philly game, if the Saints had the one game lead on GB, Brees probably wouldn't see the field until the playoffs! |

I fractured 4 ribs wrestling in my 20s and it took me 6 weeks to be 100%. I’m no Drew Brees, but he isn’t a 20 year old either. All that said, he gives us a 10x better chance than any other QB we have. |

Re: If the Saints beat KC.....
I have no idea what's gonna happen. Maybe the line protects him a bit more because he's basically broken right now. Let's hope so. Because the line has been god awful.
And no Easton. Brees is gonna get killed. Taysom and Crabby better stay warmed up. |

God help us if Andrus slips.
What a waste of a draft pick that guy is. |

If they were hairline, then he could easily be ready and pain free. But, I agree that Brees WAS banged up.
The only reason Brees is playing is that he was cleared by the medical team AND given the go by the Saints front office. You know he wanted to return himself. |
