Long as we keep brees we are ok cause we have the number one tight end and three dominating running backs but we shore need colston for shore we need some one on the other side of the field to jump instead of going to Jimmy everytime and Robert Meacham this guy is fast man I say cut people who's not playing to much and keep Robert and Markus I know we need secondary and its all about the salary cap we need impact players for next season because super bowl is in our house next year and we gotta be one of the teams plyin in it and the team winning it

We need to re sign Nicks to. He's a free agent now.

Personally I think this article is way overblown. We just about beat (and should have...) a top-notch SF team WITHOUT Pierre Thomas, Mark Ingram, and Lance Moore. It would be truly sad to see either Meachem or Colston go, but I wouldn't be surprised by it.

Maybe a miracle will occur: The Saints work out a long-term deal with Brees, slap the franchise tag on Colston, and somehow keep Meachem in the process. I don't see it happening, but it's possible.

When Drew Brees is the starting quarterback for your team, you're starting off the season in great position.

OK, call me wrong on that one. Teams SF played won 115 games, teams GB played won 117 games, and teams our Saints' played won 113, so...pretty much statistically even.

Interesting weirdness on same teams played. It plays to the Saints' doing poorly against teams with really bad records, for some reason, less practice perhaps, don't have to win? Whatever.

Anyway, San Francisco beat Tampa 48-3, the Saints' lost 26-20, in their first meeting, playing as if drugged, and won 27-16 in their second.

Saints lost to St. Louis 31-21, another hapless contest, while SF won twice, 26-0, and later 34-27--did SF get worse, or St. Louis get better? You decide.

Games that mattered--Detroit, SF won 25-19, and the Saints' won with 31-17 first, then 45-28 which would've easily been 52-28 without the kindness of taking three knees, and ending the game mercifully. Plus, the late Detroit game shows much improvement, against a stronger, more healthy Detroit team.

Finally, SF beat the Giants 27-20, and the Saints smoked them 49-24, and if I remember correctly, they could've probably run that score up a bit too.

I tend to dismiss the teams that aren't doing well, as for whatever reason, perhaps they just rest a bit during weeks where they play teams they feel are inconsequential. But against the better teams, the Saints' did better, and they made a run at the end that looks better than SF did, who appears to be closer to where the Saints' were during their sag-period, losing to Tampa and the Rams.

I think you mean "who's that," joker-saint. (who is)

Yea, you really hit on something, which is WEAK SCHEDULE at the 49ers. Actually, that might be a better tiebreak than the conference record, just add up all the wins of the opponents. Give me some time and I might just do that myself.

With Washington's injury problems, he might have a tough time making the team.

Amaya instead of Parson. My mistake.

Did we cut anybody yet?

Is it "who do you think will" or "who would you chose?"
And do you have Mitch King starting over Rogers and Franklin? Is Vilma your starting ROLB?

Peyton only has 1 title and he still gets plenty of respect.

Well...it's the exact same boat that every single team is in. The entire league is playing their first game in 2 weeks to a couple days over that. Not much else can really be done about it.

i think Brady is a better QB than Rothlessburger. Two-dat sounds good to me. That's all that really matters and this is the year it could happen.

Are you serious? Rothlessburger? I wouldn't even have mentioned his name. The Steelers won those SBs that he played in because of defense and bad calls.
