I glad you have that figured out.  I think losing to Philly really screwed things up for N.O. because their seeding is in the balance.  Worse case scenario is they fall to 3rd seed as the NFCE winner will automatically be 4th but it's much tougher road at 3rd seed than the first. 

Yeah, after looking at the Rams (and Seattle but I think the Rams beat them), it becomes apparent that NO is now in a squeeze due to the Philly loss. For our draft pick, that was a good thing because it took the NO beats KC and GB loses to TN and NO has a 2 game lead off the table. That was our big worry. The Rams play Arizona week 17, who likely are still going for a WC, so not a gimme so NO will want to win even if tied with the Rams. NO doesn’t want the 3 seed, that would be really tough especially if Brees isn’t ready or hits a setback.

OK I'm officially dizzy.

I wasn't expecting Philly to upset N.O. but not surprised as this season has been weird.   The playoff seeding will be difficult outside of the NFCE.

The NFC playoffs are going to be fun to watch.  Anyone can beat anyone.  No team has it all.  New Orleans probably has the most talent.

Agreed. Everyone is screaming about MLB because they have PTSD from how bad Whitehead was earlier this season, but IMO CB and FS are our bigger defensive needs right now. Carter isn't great, but he's plenty serviceable at MLB. He's better at MLB than anyone we have at CB or FS.

100% agree with both of you. There’s still a false narrative that our LBs are Whitehead awful and that Douglas is an amazing CB.

The biggest improvement we would see is if we got a shutdown CB.

Lol. It’s a lot. Just suffice it to say that really funky poo has to happen (especially because the Rams/Seahawks play each other) for NO to not want to beat us or losing to us being very bad for them.

With a healthy Brees, I think they are the best but having to win at LA and at GB and then KC could derail them. Beating GB or LA at home would be far easier.

I think outside KC, there’s a ton of parity and the playoffs are going to be a lot of fun to watch, without worry again. :(

I also think with Brees being out for so long he's going to be rusty.  I think he'll play against us.

i think we win 1 of 3 and screw ourselves in the draft. 

The only people that are worried about draft position are the fans.  

I think we'll be competitive and if we get a couple defensive stops who knows what will happen.

We are playing 3 playoff teams and as noted above all of them are going to be playing for playoff position.

Green Bay wants to hold onto the top spot.

Washington is trying to hold off NYG and Philly (Surprising enough)

If New Orleans gives us the game they end up the 3rd seed and that's will be a tough road for them.  So they'll play.  

I don't think any of these teams are going to give us away.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
