Damn. Never want to see injuries, especially to a guy as classy as Brees. Hope he recovers.

I think they can manage with Bridgewater.

Not surprised. It's too bad for Brees, but I don't care what happens to the Saints.

I don't think they make the playoffs in that division, the way those teams chew each other up. My pick would be Atlanta out of the south now. But a Bridgewater led Saints team, doesn't blow up anyone's skirt.

Bummer.

The Rams defense kills Quarterbacks
Next up - Faker Gayfield

Wasn't that the same type injury that did Warner with the Rams?
Hope pucker lips doesn't rush him back

 

[Dodgersrf]

Tough break for Breese.
I've always liked him. Good guy.

 

[Ewe83]

Brees might be a "good guy" but he certianly piled on the "boo hoo we're such victims we were robbed mentality" so my sympathy right now is pretty low

Is Winston the best aqB in that division? I would pick Ryan but none of the have been good this year.

Kind of makes me think there was already some weakness in the ligament before. Looking at the replay, it didn't seem like his hand hit that hard against AD's helmet, and I'm sure contact like that is a dime a dozen for a lot of QB's.

 

[Ram65]

Too bad for Brees.

The injury does change the outlook for the division. Falcons get a big win last night even if Matty Ice and DBs tried to give away the game. Asshole Face has his work cut out for him. Let's look at the schedule.

Not easy
Hags away
Girls home
Buc home
Jags away
Bears away
Cardinals home

So they could go 3-3 and be at 4-4 when Brees come back against the Falcons. I don't think the Falcons run away. They could all be near .500 halfway through the season.

It didn't. It got hit by ADs hand.

Looking at their schedule, it would have been nice to see Brees available to knock off some of those other contenders.

Seachickens luck out again.

I believe they will lose their next two games. Seahawks at home are a tough draw, and the Saints are still reeling. Carroll gonna get that W. And Dallas should have enough to beat them in New Orleans.

Either way they're not gonna run the table with Bridgewater at QB. It's gonna start out rough I think, then Teddy should settle in a bit and they'll be a low end playoff team because of their defense.

If Brees needs surgery on a ligament I would be surprised if he can come back in 6 weeks.

It does sound aggressive.
