Perspective

The Saints lost to TB. Philadelphia lost to OAK...Minnesota got beat down by Carolina. We lost to TB by a FG in OT. At least we know there is parity in the NFL, which is why each team has to bring it EVERY week.

We've gotten exposed on D for the past couple of weeks, but the offense has also been stumped the past few weeks. We've seen that the special teams were a weakness from week 1. This IS NOT the perfect team by any means. We're fortunate Brees is our QB, or our record would be much worse.

And I do wonder...is it a coincidence that the 2 games Shockey has missed is exactly the 2 games we've lost? It's 1 more LB to blitz or to provide run support when he's not in there. I've already eaten my crow about Shockey earlier in the year, and it seems our offense has problems without him in there. Also, we now realize just how important PT23 is...no coincidence that the O struggled when he left the game after the 2nd quarter.

No offense to you my friend, but I am so sick of excuses for mediocrity. I can't take it anymore.... I'm waiting for it to be a second gunman, on the grassy knowl at this point... No more excuses... No more..

Re: Perspective

Dallas was our "excuse" game.

This one is inexcusible. Only a complete and thorough beatdown of Carolina next week will make me optimisitc again...

Re: Perspective

You really think we win on the road in Carolina next week? I hope I'm wrong, but I highly doubt it ... They'll be charged to destroy us (and I don't blame them)

No, but that's what we need to have happen to have any momentum going into the playoffs...

Re: Perspective

I'm tired of the mediocrity as well. But 13-2 ain't mediocrity. The last 2-4 games have been mediocrity, but doesn't mean the whole year has been mediocre. We've been exposed, and it's time to fix it on all fronts...or we'll drop it to Carolina and get embarrassed in the playoffs. But we've seen PHI bounce back from getting beat by OAK, and the verdict is still out on MIN. Let's just hope we're not slap in the middle of a 4 game losing streak.

What excuses do you mean? Seems to me the OP wrote "We've gotten exposed on D for the past couple of weeks, but the offense has also been stumped the past few weeks. We've seen that the special teams were a weakness from week 1. This IS NOT the perfect team by any means. We're fortunate Brees is our QB, or our record would be much worse."

A 13-2 season is not mediocrity, that is correct.

This is worse than mediocrity. Mediocrity, I could settle for.

Why not is Carolina invincible? I don't care if we beat them down. I just want us to show some stones and beat them.

Re: Perspective

ITS ONLY 2 F'N losses. What is wrong with everyone. We have a banged up secondary. We are doing damn good with the injuries we had to overcome. We are scheduled to have a healthy team come playoffs and the play wont be the same
