Brees DID NOT suffer a serious shoulder injury

[Mojo]

I don't care whether he plays or not.  They look really, really bad.  But this is a division game so you never know.

I won't celebrate an injury, but a non structural its gonna be sore for a bit injury? Fug that bitch right in the Pepsi.

[teeray]

Still may not play, just isnt going to be as long as originally feared.

He hurt it in the first half yesterday.  He couldn't get the ball downfield at all after he got hurt.

We can beat then with him or without him, hut going to have to play well

This is smokescreen. Brees is just toughing it out because he is making 20 million a year

In Madden you'd have the option to have him return to the game but his OVR would go from 94 to 76

This is chum in the water for the Panthers D, we gon' feast - 2 defensive scores

I don't know who said what, but this story is posted on NFL.com

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000536109/article/drew-brees-rotator-cuff-likely-to-miss-games

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the Saints believe quarterback Drew Brees has an injury to his rotator cuff, causing him weakness, pain and discomfort, that likely will cause him to miss games, according to sources with knowledge of the injury. Brees could potentially miss several games, underwent an MRI on Monday and is scheduled to undergo more tests to determine the injury on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to Rapoport.

Rapoport added that his tests will be sent to Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion. The belief is there isn't much structural damage, but they are waiting until Andrews to make a final call.

Being that it's there, I would assume that it's the most accurate information. 

Sure, I guess he could play, but I don't believe that he'll be effective if he does. And I don't think they are good enough to beat us.

A saints friend of mine said -

inside sources claim it's a torn rotator cuff. could potentially retire

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I hope he plays, we'll finish the job.

Classy.

I think people on this board hate Brees, the player with a passion but most including me  don't want to see anyone injured including HOF QB for a division rival.   Glad he is not injured.

 

All that said, Fug the Saints

I despise injuries even for my most hated team the Saints. I want to beat them at their full strength.

but if we gave him the time we gave Mallet sunday I still think he'll pick us aparapart

Mallet was hurried 15 times and completed 0 of these attempts. Sacks don't always tell the whole story.

Mallet was hurried 15 times and completed 0 of these attempts. Sacks don't always tell the whole story. 

He threw 58 times though.  So he was only hurried 1 out of every 4 throws.  Tbh I don't really know, is that good?

I don't think it's too bad. However some of the attempts that weren't hurried were quick hits by Mallet. And this is where Brees was always good, especially against us.

What does any of that have to do with what he said? The Saints having Bountygate makes his statement any less douchey? 

Its like clockwork. Panthers fans makes douchbag statement. I say something about it. "Derp. Bountygate. Derp." 

I had nothing to do with the whole situation, so acting as if I can't call somebody for being an asshole is unauthentic. 

let me be real honest here. 

Reality is, if Brees plays, he will be hit/sacked/whatever. . . Which will most likely lead to aggregating the injury, best case scenario. More likely making worse. 

Which would be finishing the job.

The original post wasn't wishing injury on a player.  The injury has already been done. Brees playing that Panther defense will finish the job. 

That's  life. 

 

Suck it up, buttercup.

Brees is washed up so it doesn't worry me at all that's he's playing. His noodle arm is not going to hurt us with their limited weapons. There was a time when Brees and their offense scared the hell out of me. That time has passed thank goodness. The sun has set on their franchise. It's over.
