I don't care if Bullocks and Reggie are 100% next week

Payton did a great job last year opening up the offense and still rushing @100 per game, and keeping people involved so that they keep their heads in the game. This year he seemed to not know where he was going with the offense and it showed on the field. Early on we didn't press the run hard enough, and because of it, we could not pass block either. Bress could never get comfortable because our O-line were on their heels rather than our opponents D-line being on their heels. Those guys didn't know what kind of offense they were going to run from week to week. Reduced availability seems to have set Payton free to use everybody...AGAIN...and its working...AGAIN! When Brees can mix it up, he is at his best. Great WIN...two more...one week at a time.

It also helps that we played against an inferior team below 500.

Inferior? Same record and last I check they were in the same boat as us in the playoff race. So that makes us inferior too then, I guess.
