Thanks, I did not see the Stiller game.  Landry Jones will get his chance now, I guess.  Crazy year in Pittsburgh.

 

Isn't Landry in the XFL now?

Sal is talking about surgery for Brees on his thumb - out a minimum of 6 weeks. 

 

Could be the end end of the Saints for this year.

 

Edit: on further review - not sure it matters - Carolina and Cam look bad, Atlanta has been up an down, and TB is TB.  I thought this was going to be a great division, but it now look like a train wreck.

Isn't this really rare in football. You hardly ever hear about Tommy John in football

 

They say because the football is heavier than a baseball and has more resistance when its thrown, it's friendlier on the elbow and you don't get the nasty torque on that joint.   Footballs come off the hand at about half the speed of a fastball.

Crushing, but Bridgewater looked pretty good in relief yesterday. I dig the Saints, and hope Teddy can help them stay in it until Brees comes back.

 

I guess..?  Rams are a tough defense so its hard to know for sure.  They bottled up kamara quite a bit once teddy came in.

I'm honestly just happy to see him walking, let alone playing football.

Bridgewater is one of those guys who looks OK because he makes safe decisions and completes a lot of passes, but then you look up and the team has 9 points midway through the fourth quarter. I feel like I'm watching late-era Kelly Holcomb when I watch him ...

Bills 2-0 and Pittsburgh 0-2 with Big Ben out could really help us for a wildcard berth. They are already in a 2 game hole and it potentially can get worse. They could be eliminated from playoffs pretty early

Josh Allen himself had a partially torn MCL (the Tommy John ligament) last year (Houston game).  Someone posted research on QBs with that injury that showed that it's not that serious of an injury given how they throw the ball.

For baseball, it's like a 15-18 month recovery time.  The good thing is that something like 80% of them see in increase in velocity.  I grew up playing baseball and I knew a few people that didn't really need it but got it anyway to throw harder.

They have a very good backup in Bridgewater. Probably in better shape than most teams in this situation.

Bridgewater looked terrible. yeah, he completed some passes, but he reminds me of EJ Manuel the way he takes so long to process anything. Slow eyes...

If he’s back after the bye for the Atlanta game it may be salvageable. The back half is division heavy and if they can win a few of the ones you’d expect in the short term while drew is out they would be around .500 going into the divisional games.

 

wouldnt leave much room for error but they are the best team in the division when drew is healthy
