Drew Brees will not play tomorrow

[Saint J]

Injuries or not, Saints defense is pathetic at best. They stat-padded at the beginning against mediocre teams(ints, etc) but their secondary is a complete joke. You better hope you don't play a team like Packers or Cardinals in divisional round or you'll get shredded for at least 350-400 yards lol.

You do realize we've been without our two starting CBs since the beginning of the St. Louis game? Teams have been picking on Jenkins but they'll be out of luck considering Greer/Porter will be back and ready.

[Kevin Greene]

the packers, eagles, and cowboys are all playing better than the saints and unfortunately the saints will almost certainly have to play one of them

maybe they'll get lucky and play the cardinals

Cardinals might not be such a lucky draw either. They can put points on the board with the best of them and their defense plays well in big games.

[RazzleDazzle]

Normally we lose games that switch Quarterbacks before we play them but we got Matt Moore now. If we win, he is the savior and I'm being serious.

As for GB, you mean the same team that just got raped by BEN a few weeks back?

injuries are only a valid excuse for the saints

philly was playing the best ball of any team in the NFL to end '06 and look how that worked for them.

Tackling is our worst problem defensively and that's pretty fixable.

As for GB, you mean the same team that just got raped by BEN a few weeks back? Honestly, there is no team dominant team in the NFC this year. Philly looks good but Payton usually pwns Reid in the coaching category. Brett Farve is struggling not to kill Childress and Arizona is as Jekll and Hyde as it gets.

Arizona has a proven POST SEASON stud at QB and WR. No matter how good a team in regular season is the post season is a completely different ball game. IE Peyton Manning is the best regular season QB of all time because he chokes in the playoffs. Warner has played lights out in all post season performances and Fitz set records last post season.

Agreed on Vikings and Philly(philly defense let Eli Manning destroy them.) although I think Favre isn't the problem, rather Peterson averaging 3 YPC and their secondary being nonexistent.

yeah, a rookie CB, gay, and 50 yr old McKenzie should have played up to the standards of our two excellent starting CBs. what was i thinking.

they're ranked higher than the saints

d'oh!

[Saint J]

who's they?

[Fiz]

lol i read mckenzie and thought packers

but dude quit bitching about injuries. tracy porter and greer were both coming off season enders. health is a skill in the nfl and it's no one's fault but the saints that they don't seem to value it in the secondary. the only thing more lame than pretending it's a total shock is to assume a linear health trajectory in which EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE ONCE WE GET TO THE PLAYOFFS I PROMISE

[Saint J]

we were trying to find starters last year in the secondary let alone build depth. just last year our starters included jason david, josh bullocks, and randall gay.

[Raleighcat83]

So, yeah, Brady got hurt last year but other than that, can you ever remember a major injury to a big time starting QB in a regular season game? Never happened to Brees, Manning or Rivers. Never happened to Montana, Elway or Marino. I can remember many times where a team sits starters in the last week and came out flat the next week in the postseason, yet I can't remember a single instance where a team played it's starters and suffered signifigant injury. Besides, the Saints offensive and definsive line are playing, presumably, and their risk of injury is much higher than any quarterback's. This is bad policy by New Orleans, and it is a contributing factor to their inevitable first round collapse.

[Fiz]

last year has nothing to do with their hopes and dreams apparently resting on a dr james anderson secondary this year

[Fiz]

the panthers have the best secondary in the league and the saints aren't putting anyone out there to keep the team honest.

reggie bush is going to die but honestly that'd probably be an upgrade for him. why in the world wouldn't you sit all the starters, unless you want brunell and that rapist from hawaii throwing hospital balls over the middle
