re: This team swill still make the playoffs.

Look, Brees was average toward the end of last season, blame it on age or an undisclosed injury but his production dropped and interceptions increased. Maybe this gives him a few weeks of rest to last through the remaining season, whenever he comes back. Helps him be fresh for the playoffs. Did you watch Tampa and Carolina Thursday? They are dumpster fires. Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but I think we got this.
