Brees: "Every intention of playing Sunday." Smokescreen or legit?

I say he sits, how you can go from "possibly missing a few games to on track to play just days later is beyond me. And even if he plays, why roll out a hobbled and hurt Brees against a top D like ours, but hey, have it your way Payton.

 

Oh and for some reason it's BBR links I can't paste on my phone for some reason, so that is my source btw..

They've said the decision to play is up to Brees.  He'll play.  If out of pride if nothing else.  He knows he's only got a few years left and this could be his last year in NO.  Sean Payton may want to leave after this year too so all caution will be thrown to the wind.

Starting 0-3 is a death blow to a team's playoff chances.  0-2 is bad enough.  They probably look at it as if they can't win on Sunday there is no future anyway this year so why not chance it...

If we can't beat the Saints even with a healthy Brees at home, it says a lot more about how far we can expect to go this season than it does the Saints...

The Saints are talent deficient at every position except QB (if Keenan Lewis returns healthy you may could include CB).  The Panthers have talent at every position except WR.

The Saints certainly aren't going to roll over but losing to them would throw this forum into a funk we haven't seen in 10+ months and would be the ammo the national media is looking for to start our 2015 obituary.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.

      Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
