Who Dat! Go Saints!
Drew Brees clearly isn't healthy. Let's see what he looks like in 2 weeks if he can avoid any big hits this week.

I agree. How many games has Drew played this season with Thomas AND Sanders? 2? 3?
We’ll need both to make a run. Plus, we have to have good Cooks, not the bad version.
May not matter if we’ve gotta go through GB.

10 Quarters with Thomas

Yep, that's why Thomas is being held out of these last few regular season games. He could play, but why take the chance? Saw an interview with Brees and he said he needs these reps, not so much to get the rust off, but just so he can feel comfortable and confident his injured ribs aren't a limiting factor.
How good are the Packers? No, truly? I have seen them play several times and yeah, they're "good," but not NE Patriot kind of good when the Pats had "Super Bowl Champs" written all over them. Aaron Rodgers is good...very good, but he has had his WTF moments and games in his playoff career. So... Same is true for the Seasickhawks...just don't want to play them out in Seattle. The Saints, Packers, and Seasickhawks are the top 3 contenders, but heck, this is the NFL and anything can happen. The NFC East champion, with a losing record, could play spoiler for someone. Those Cowgirls are surging! Actually, I think Mike McCarthy is a good coach and the 'girls have a bunch of talent.
Takes two things to win a championship: 1) a great defense, and 2) a championship caliber QB. The Saints have both...when they show up. Problem for the Saints is that "losers' curse," guaranteed to have something weird happen that costs us a playoff game. Has happened just about every year we lose in the playoffs. That is, in recent times, early on we just got our butts kicked in the playoffs. The last time that happened, as I remember it, was the 2006 NFC championship game at Chicago when we lost something like 37-13, or whatever the final score was.
Geaux Saints!

Unfortunately they may not have Kamara in the first game.
If they don't get the bye, the Saints will open the playoffs either next Saturday or Sunday. The NFL isn't expected to announce the wild card schedule until this Sunday, but if the Saints draw a Saturday date, Kamara wouldn't be permitted to play.

Re: Saints expected to start Brees
As usual, something goofy will happen to the Saints. Not having Kamara, just when he had just shaken off the nagging injuries and was playing well again, is par for the course.

Well then, guess Brees will get a workout. Saints should pick up Kenneth Dixon!

Just like last year with Payton's engagement party that went on into the wee hours of the morning just 48 hours before the Falcon's game. The loss cost them dearly at the end of the season.
Self inflicted wounds.
