Good news for saints game re: reggie bush

[rayzor]

he got put on IR

The New Orleans Saints have placed Reggie Bush on the injured reserve list, ending his season with two games to play.

To fill the space on the roster, the Saints signed cornerback Michael Lehan, who had been with the Miami Dolphins.

In five games this season, Lehan had 11 tackles and no interceptions.

Bush injured his left knee against the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 19, and had arthroscopic surgery the next day to repair a torn meniscus. He missed four games for rehabilitation.

Good news?

Get help dude.

Oddly enough this exact thing happened to my friend who was going to play in the shrine bowl.

Get off your high horse.

He means good news we don't have to play him, not that he is injured.

I wonder if Brees will play, it will be a pointless game and Brees already knows what can happen in those games (when he was with the Chargers).

I don't risk my probowl QB for the sake of nothing, against a good defense none the less.

[pantherclaw]

High horse? lol

I know exactly what he means. It doesn't take a rocket scientist.

Either way, the Saints have been a hurting unit all year long. They will still be handled.

Actually, I don't see it as good news. Every rushing attempt that Reggie Bush can take away from a competent running back is a plus IMO. These guys usually take sadistic delight in trying to knock us out of the playoffs. If they have a chance at that, it'll be a tough game. Our luck? Deuce gets healed up just enough to have a "statement" game before he retires.

ST's should have a field day without bush back there

We will win on Sunday. If we don't, and we still can't beat the Saints, then maybe we don't deserve the division. I don't doubt that TB, ATL, and DAL will lose at least one of their 6 remaining games, putting us in the playoffs, regardless, but I would like to think a Super Bowl team goes at least .500 on the road. And of course I would rather play the Saints without Bush than with.

Considering that neither Tampa nor Atlanta was able to beat the Saints in New Orleans, I certainly wouldn't feel any shame in claiming the division crown even if we lost to the Saints.

i would rather face bush than pierre thomas.

i would rather face bush than pierre thomas.

Yep, this is indifferent news... Thomas has been playing a lot better than Bush...

[carolinarolls]

Bush out is better news for the Aints than it is for the Panthers in that game.

[VA Panther Fan]

Has Bush actually been playing? I wasn't aware.

[tarheelpride]

this game will be meaningless
