What are all these "Assuming" threads about

SaintsBro · 12-05-2012, 03:22 AM

Was having a crazy day, sorry.But people WERE assuming lots of things in wild extremes ("we're done" "we're going to the Super Bowl") and there is a LOT of football left to be played...a little parody now and then to keep things in perspective...

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Broncs & wanting to watch Peyton in his comeback year,

... I usually think of the AFC as 'the enemy',

Troll bait...I think you landed one up there. GUT HIM and turn him in to TROLL CHUM!

I don't know...that seems a bit over kill. I think the pringles alone would sway Rex...assuming it's Foot-flavored.

You are looking at it wrong buddy. Things don't go right for every team every season... In a lot of games....

Our scenario involves things not going right for other teams and by that nature are good for us.

The Saints winning out is the only thing we can control, and the only thing that has to go our way. Those teams losing is not based on our good luck, but on their bad luck, and bad luck happens for teams every week.

I would say there is a better chance of those teams losing than us willing out if your leaving it to luck.

Seattle would have to lose 2 to NFC foes in order to pass them. Losing to Buffalo would be nice, but doesn't really help.

Just noting this.
