Just a footnote

It's amazing to me the sheer panic I've seen and especially the media writing off the Saints in a couple of articles I read.

People latch onto the last thing that happened and give that too much importance. You are never as good as your last win and never as bad as your last loss.

Honestly we could very well be looking back on this in February and be glad that the Saints were able to address these issues now and not be faced with them in a playoff game. It's better this way for sure.

Now, I'm not being unrealistic. There are problems on Defense which you can't just hide for a sixty minutes but the 'D' is what it is. The biggest concern for me right now is the offense.

We don't have the kind of team that will win games scoring 17 point like we have the past two weeks. Shockey, Bush, Ellis are big factors IMO that will make a difference in the playoffs as long as they are rested and 100%. I want to see that offense I fell in love with in the first 10 or so weeks of the season and there is no reason that we can have that back for the first playoff game.

Guys I'm telling you, 13-2 and everything clinched. This is exactly where we want to be.

Have faith, this team isn't done yet.
