Our defense can't get off the field basically all game long. We can't run the ball. Brees is out of sync with the receivers and his famed accuracy seems to have taken a break.
If I'm concerned and somewhat dismayed (and I am), it's not because we've lost one game. I want to be optimistic, but I am not foolish. Our team is in real trouble and has been for a month now. Those who want to try to minimize it will have to do better than saying "it's only one game" because that is simply incorrect. |

Re: The Sky is not Falling
I don't know. I was watching the second half on my palm pre (better than nothing, but not easy to do). I read in Sean's PC where we came up a yard short on a number of 3rd downs. I'm concerned about the "D" as we all have been, but what, our "O" goes awol for 30 minutes too?

Thomas playing fullback and bringing in Eckel when Shockey was injured. Sharper missing time, PT getting bruised ribs yetserday, Reggie missing games, Lance Moore barely playing, Usama out, Gay out, kickers, etc.
That is why the sky is not falling. The Saints have not played poorly, they have actually played well since New England considering all of the injuries and player shuffling. Even if we lose 21-0 vs Carloina the whole team won't have been practicing together until the playoff game. The miraculous thing is that Porter, Greer, Sharper, Ellis, Fuji, Shanle, Reggie, Moore, Usama, PT, Gay, and Shockey will be ready to go when it matters most. There is no team in the NFL that can lose all of those starters (plus the IR guys) at key positions and succeed. Any team would have a production drop in those circumstances, and most of ours are defensive. We will finally see the whole team play together since mid season in the playoffs. |

Re: The Sky is not Falling
At this point of last season after a few lackluster performances everyone wrote the Cards off. They took care of business in the playoffs and made it to the Superbowl. We Still have a chance. Lets support our team!
