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.

If he was still banged up he wouldn't be starting. According to Payton he was able to practice with no pain at all. Rusty, maybe, but hopefully with the full week of practice he'll have knocked that off.

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

My best friend is a doctor. When I broke my ribs one time I asked him if I could play. He said as your doctor I have to say no. But as your team mate I've got to say man we need you! I played and it was still painful.

We didn't have trainers so if it wasn't poking through the skin we felt like we couldn't let my team down. So, you can play without being fully healed. It's painful but it can be done.

Did you have at least five weeks to heal before you played?

It was about three weeks before I played and they bothered me the rest of the season. Believe it or not rugby players get hit in the ribs all the time.

Drew says he's not in pain and it won't hamper his ability to play. Hopefully his throwing mechanics are unaffected.

That's what I was wondering. If you could play in only three weeks while regularly taking blows to the ribs during the game then I guess Brees can play with almost twice the recovery time most likely having special care that isn't available to the rest of us. Payton said Brees would only play if pain free and having a full range of motion.

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!

Of course he is still hurt, a fool would think otherwise. I am sure Drew himself wouldn’t tell anyone that aside from his wife. It’s his last shot to play against the guy that’s going to break all of his records. My best guess, Brees is around 80-90%.

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.
