My hunble opinion NOT Ready for Primetime

triman · 12-23-2013, 11:06 AM

I feel that we are a much better team than last year's team. This year's defense has been better than expected. We had a really great draft. Losing Bushrod has created a Achilles heal at OT. In general our OL is incapable of matching up against physical teams. We are unable to run the ball when we need to.Three fours yard runs at the end of the game and we're NFC South champs.After seeing seeing this game I don't see us competing in the playoffs. We need to upgrade our OL ,LB,CB,WR positions.

We beat San Fran, Arizona, Chicago, Carolina, and Dallas.

There isn't a team in the playoffs we can't beat, even Seattle.

Danno, as much as I want to agree with you there is a pattern to your "we beat" list.

Home, home, away, home, home.

Consider that we only have one win out side of the Dome since Oct. 6 and that was a 17-13 squeaker, indoors, against 4 and 10 Atlanta.

Barring a miracle in Atlanta we are on the road for the playoffs. One road playoff win will be a major accomplishment, but we have to get to the playoffs first.

Seattle has been the most consistent NFC team, but none of them are dominant. Getting to the play-offs is the first step, then I think we have chance on the road (no matter what has happened on the road up to this point).

Never played the game us what I am guessing.

Football is a grossly unpredictable sport that some people just do not have the stomach for.

You cant argue with that. We have all the potential in the world. I am excited to see us go on the road in the playoffs. I know you guys are dreading it but I believe we are going to shock everyone and make it to the Superbowl as the 5 or 6th seed.

Yes I criticize this team harshly when they lose, but that is because I don't accept mediocrity. The Saints know how to play good offense. It shouldn't take much to get our groove back.

If Falcons beat the Panthers and we beat the Bucs, do we win the division? If so, Go Falcons!!

Big Pay day for Brees, no money for Bushrod, and he was looking good last night protecting Cutler. Big pay day for Graham coming up. We better pay some offensive lineman or Brees won't live to spend all that money he made, and Graham won't have anybody to throw to him.
