Like I said injuries weren't the reason we lost to the Cardinals injuries weren't the reason we lost to the Bengals I juries weren't why we lost to the Bucs or Panthers We beat Seattle with injuries they lost their starting rb for the season that game Cardinals had plenty of injuries facing us. You all are making excuses Chargers have plenty injuries they have a decent record. Jets had injuries. Injuries are apart of the game. Ravens beat us with injuries to key players, WR, TE RB1 n RB2 Safety. Steelers have injuries look like they know how to overcome. With or without injuires Ssints have been in majority of these games injuries are excuses just like some guys say you can't blame the refs.

I said injuries are A reason that has led to losses. Not the reason. You make our point by saying that the Saints "have been in majority of these games" even with the injuries. Had we not been missing the vast number of key starters we would have likely won most, if not all, of those games. THAT is not an excuse. It is reality. A very tangible reason.

Irrational logic seeing as though we lost with the same players. Those losses had ZERO today with injuries. We lost because we were out coached. You can believe what you will. Saints decisions in game are the reason we lost. Next man up best 53 on the roster. Saints aren't the only team with injuries explain that? Show me a loss the Saints received due to injuries give me ONE game where injuries were so overbearing we were unable to compete and be competitive

So, you are saying we would have still performed the same versus the Steelers if we had Penning at LT, Peat at LG, McCoy at center, Ingram at RB2, Thomas at WR, Winston at QB (benched due to injury), Lattimore at CB, Maye at S, Davenport at DE, and Werner at LB?

And, yes, the Saints HAVE been able to compete with all of these and other injuries. Just think how much better they could have competed without the absence of all of those key starters. It is not the ONLY reason why those games were lost, but one would have to be blind not to see that it has been a major factor (ie. a reason) for those losses. By the way, coaching decisions and playcalling are also reasons.
