I'm excited tbh. Shouldn't be any player in the league with a bigger chip on their shoulder than our very own Fameis Jameis

 

[Saint Droopy]

I can see him coming back for the Chiefs game. That'll give him 4 weeks to heal.

Ok, we got this. Payton’s genius comes out in times like these. I’m excited to see how this plays out.

Yeah thats definitely the one game we need Drew for. I think all the other games before that are very winnable, the Saints just have go continue to play how they are playing, particularly on defense and stay healthy as possible.

AK left, AK right, Murray left, Murray right, AK up the middle, play action to MT, easy peezy...

Im ready and exited for Winston. Im sure hes ready to bring it and eat some Ws

It’s Falcons week.
Payton has been planning for this game since March.
We got this.

Let's save that Sanders pass play the 49ers pulled on us last year for the playoffs. This time Sanders to AK.

It’ll be so nice for the Saints to beat down Atlanta while realizing they gonna have to deal with a new and improved Winston for the next decade.

Well at least we some clarity on Brees's injury. He'll be out at least 2 weeks and then evaluate his injury to see if he will be out longer. I believe at least 5-6 weeks before he'll be ready to come back.

I think this was a reasonable timeline for us even before we knew his injuries. Yes, the Falcons 2x in four games is tough, but overall, these four games are manageable.

And all things considered, the Vikings game is more important than the KC game.

Sean Payton was 1 amazing INT by Josh Norman not happening away from winning at Carolina with a much worse team. If Brees comes back before the PO we will be fine

If Winston does as well as i believe he can do, no need to Bring Brees back until Chiefs or Eagles game the earliest to work out any wrinkles before Chiefs game.

One thing i did notice. The running game opened up with Winston in the game. Hopefully the Saints take advantage accordingly.

This is why I haven't lost faith. It's not so much that I have faith in Winston or Hill, I have faith in Sean Payton. He's going to do everything he possibly can to win football games. He knows what his QBs can and cannot do. He's going to play to their strengths and coach smart.

I can honestly say there is no coach in football I'd rather have for this situation we're facing right now.

so lets say he misses both atl games and the den game. how does the cold affect his injuries? like @philly, will shortness of breath be worse in the cold considering the injuries he's just now getting over? if so, then i can see vs KC being his first game back.
