Drew Brees tears thumb ligament

He has to have surgery, and has been officially ruled out for the Bears game. Teddy Bridgewater looks to be manning the helm. This injury has happened to several NFL QB's, and they aren't right until the following year.

How does this affect the game against the Bears. Are the Saints weapons still a handful, or are they significantly diminished without Brees?

I'm going with significantly diminished. It's the optimist in me.

With Brees out, Bucs will make playoffs. Yes, yes, they will

I was never huge on Teddy B, but Payton obviously is, since they’re paying him 7 million a year to be a backup. And Payton is a damned genius.

Still, it’s obviously to our benefit to play against Teddy.

This is one of those things where I'm semi-torn on how to feel.

I like Drew Brees. He comes off as a classy guy.
Yet he plays for Sean Payton who I can't stand.
He's also not a Bear and in the way of a Super Bowl.

OK fine. Fuck him them.
