If you want to pigeonhole that as Us not being able to throw a long ball then good for you. But if you don’t think that most of the reason we lost to the SB champs after beating them twice in the regular season was because they were healthier than we were I simply disagree.

No sh!t, Sherlock!
I understand some people have issues with the management of this franchise ... no, wait, I do not understand it, but I do recognize that they do seem to readily place all blame for everything in that direction. Sometimes things just don't work out. It is as simple as that. Sorry for hijacking your post, Boston. |

Sanders was a luxury to take our offense over the top and be really dominant. But it didn't work out with Thomas' injury issues. We can't afford him anymore, but at least we tried.

Had Brees not been dealing with injuries of his own I seriously expect we would have won that game handily once again. And don't give me that "injury isn't an excuse" malarkey. Injuries can be and often are the "reason" for subpar play. That is a fact. Teams lose all the time for many various reasons. Injuries are one of the most prominent of those reasons as it is one of the most difficult to overcome. It can even be near impossible given the circumstances. |
