The negativity about the Saints injury report.... (1 Viewer)

Most NFL matchups are difficult when your team is at “full” strength, so of course the level of difficulty increases when your better players are injured.

Demario Davis is back so it's only two LBs out. But losing Werner and Gay are big losses. Jackson is going to have to really step up his game but I don't think he's close to as good in coverage as Werner or May which is a problem against KC.

Yeah Demario is back but it feels like he’s pushing himself early to get back on the field. I’m not trying to be pessimistic but if he is rushed too soon and he gets hurt again he might be out longer.

I hope Demario and the trainers are realistic about his injury timeline. I think it’s still early and this upcoming game with KC is not that important in terms of playoff’s so rushing him back wouldn’t make much sense.

I hear you, but I think it's just hard to keep Demario off the field and he will play through almost anything. But, I do think that due to the injury, he's likely to not quite be Demario out there which is a concern.

I know we are banged up, but so is KC. I look at it differently. These are professional football players. This is an opportunity for some of our guys on the OL to make an impact. This isnt High school or college. Every single one of the guys we are replacing tonight are capable of holding it together. As long as we have Carr, Kamara, Shaheed and Olave we are fine. Kendre Miller will make an impact also tonight. I am sure we will see alot of screens to Kamara tonight as well. Some of the posts on here are downright scary. Again, it's professional football. We will be fine tonight. We have our star players minus Taysom Hill. Get back to me after the game....

I concur. So far this offensive staff has my confidence in that they won't allow a player on the d-line to wreck the game. It didn't happen in Weeks 1, 2 or 4. Eagles was an anomaly at this point considering they lost McCoy two plays into the game. However, when they'd had time to prepare they've done well.

Curious about Kendre? Is there word he plays tonight? He was listed as doubful on Saturdays injury report, that's roughly a 75% chance we won't see him

It's more likely he's legit healthy and potentially was held out for precaution last week (maybe could have played) vs him suddenly forcing himself back this week. I recall DA comparing it to the Cam Jordan situation a year or so back where he'd never missed a game and while he potentially could have played we decided to be cautious.

This says he's now listed as Full Participant

Right, he was a full participant but designated as doubtful. Seems far more likely he's to sit out this week, otherwise I think DA would have said something like "he'll be a gametime decision" We'll see.. I'm not expecting him, but it would be a boost to have him out there.

Yes, tge injury report stinks. But one thing i was taught and it stuck to me was this. The enemy doesn't care about your woes, injuries or illness. They will try to defeat and kill just the same
 
What is scary about the posts?

Hunt looked good last week and should pick up where he left off. They lost Rice but you can bet they'll scheme Kelce and feature him heavily. We better have a good game plan to stop him. And they'll have the Refs on their side allowing them to use illegal formations and let their right tackle get away with false starts regularly.

We're going to have to play a near perfect game to win this one especially with the uncertainty with our interior line.

the other team having a good TE and we dont is going to cost us heavily.

As you said it is professional football. People invest a lot of time and money into following the team. Given our injury list has always been longer than every other team in the NFL for decades fans are suss. There has to be reasons. Bad luck doesn't cut it when it's a decades long trend. Fans feel ripped off by both the players and organisation.
