Earlier in the season we were healthy.

8. Im finally shaking this hangover

9. Shockey is a crucial piece of our offense. Will be very good to get him back. Our receivers aren't as open without him consuming coverage over the middle. D. Thomas played well, but we need more than one tight-end.

10. If we get even one turnover in that game, I think we get more momentum and win last night's game. Could have really used a pick 6 last night.

We actually haven't been healthy all year: J. Brown, Bell, PT, Bush, Moore, Shockey, Evans and Goodwin all have missed, not to mention we haven't had 11 starters on D play together yet

Re: Wake Up Call
 

At least we are 13-1 I picked us at 11-5 so I hope the team has learned and they can get healthy it time to make a run. The Saints have two more ties to get the top spot. Payton needs to work some magic, O line not able to give Brees time and the defense looked out manned. Shows how tough the NFL can be. Blocking help against a great player in Andre was not there. Still love that even as bad as it was to lose the Saints kept it close and at least had a long shot chance to come back.

Yes, but if people here expect to see the same aggressive defense (and results) from early in the season, they're not gonna get it. We were a lot healthier during that stretch. Lately it's been a patchwork D with players unable to rotate and unable to pin back the ears.

Good point neugey, which reminds me of how bad Roman Harper is in coverage. Not only does he get beat on coverage, any time a ball hits him in the hands he drops it.

Now I like how he plays in run support, but he's a liability in the secondary. He dropped an easy interception last night which we really could have used.
