We are still another year away from being super bowl contenders. If we make it to the playoffs, this would be a successful season. But we will have to hold on tight to do so. We could lose 4 of the next 5 and be second in the division (D, SF, SEA, CAR) and on the outside looking in on the second wild card spot. Not unreasonable given who we've beaten and who we've lost to. Throw in a quality win and maybe it will change.

In the two losses, we've had the ball at the end with fate in our hands. Good teams win. Great teams don't get into those situations. Bad teams do what we did.
We have problems on offense with teams that have a top front 7, and we have problems on defense with teams that have a top o-line... The jets happen to have a top 6 i believe of both.


How many years have we been gashed by good RBs? Its nothing new, Caddillac Williams, Blount, Lynch, Jackson...have been doing it to us since at least 2008. The difference about this season is our o-line not handling a good d-front very well.

On a positive note, we has a RB ave 4.8 YPC yesterday.

If we aren't a playoff team I wonder who is? Seattle? looking as weak as us. We haven't lost to any NFC teams so all isn't lost.

Players
coaches

just one of those days
on the road at playoff time does not look good

we stunk the joint up end of story
I did see the trainer have to re-wrap Graham's ankle so I guess he did it wrong the first time.

I agree completely, forget Super Bowl, forget the playoffs, forget winning any more games -- this year is over, our goal should be next year, building our rookies, and I think to avoid harmful injuries we should immediately sit Drew the rest of the way, to avoid any unnecessary injury to him in a meaningless game... Next year is our shot, except Dude says that it will take "a few years" to build an O-line, so then next year is gonna be a mess too, and the year after that, so I suppose we can pretty much forget about it ever happening with Drew.... we will never get the O-line together in time for Drew, so I guess we're done. 6-2, first in the division, well we can still play for pride, I suppose.

There is nothing negative about calling it how you see it. Someone voicing a their concern about the team doesn't deserve to be attacked personally. Your perception that knowledgeable fans aren't concerned is your opinion. There is nothing wrong having insightful debate on these forums, its why I visit them. When people like you and a few others start personally attacking other posters over their opinions I think CSC might be a better option, and that's sad.

Re: Six and Two!

You're writing this year off at 6-2? Let's not forget the Giants won it all a couple seasons back and they were horrible until the post-season

As long time Saints fans we are all very aware that backing the opposing O up to their goal line will result in a huge gain. When I saw the Jets get backed up I turned to my brother and said this is where they get 70 yards on us and poof!

Re: Six and Two!

It was a poor game to watch but its done, over, gone, history!

Lets move on, we are still looking good in our division and as someone mentioned on another thread we tend to play bad against the poor teams but up our game against the better teams! If that turns out to be the case then the next few weeks should be good for us? . . . . . . Well you have to be positive don't you?

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!
