Shefter - Brees out 6 weeks

[Sam Mills Fan]

Even better. Tom Pelissero tweeted that 6-8 weeks is the *minimum* recovery and IR is a possibility.

you guys are forgetting that they have football media's dubbed Greatest Living Human since Jesus of Nazareth, Taysom Hill

During our first two weeks, lucky bounces, opponent screw ups and just general weirdness kept us in games right up till the end, but we still couldn't pull off a win.

Stuff like this makes me wonder if our season might actually follow that same scenario.

I expect they'll IR him and see where the team is after 8 weeks.  If they're out of the playoffs by then, very likely, they just just let Brees recover and get a high draft pick.

What's the percentage of teams making the playoffs with a 1-7 record? They ain't winning a thing

That depends on how bad the other teams in the division are.

It's kinda like the old joke about not needing to outrun the bear. They don't necessarily have to be great. They just have to be better than us.
