Your Thoughts

Mr. Roboto · 01-03-2010, 01:46 PM

My thoughts:

This team is done, and everybody from Benson to the ballboys knows it. Overrated, peaked too soon, say whatever you want, but we fluked our way through the season. No talent on defense, terrible special teams, and an offense that disappeared after week 11. No chance in hell this crappy team even sniffs a playoff win.

Thought 1: We KNOW what we have in Mark Brunell. A 40 year old backup QB with a couple skins on the wall and a bit slower metabolism than he used to have. It was stupid of Payton not to let Chase sniff the field (especially when the score swelled to 20 - 3). [C-]

Thought 2: Nice seeing Jabari Greer back in, and a couple new faces like #52. I can tell there was a nice difference having both starting corners -- and on the flipside I could also tell Jonathan Vilma wasn't in there. Though, barring the long scoring run at the beginning, I think the players tightened up fairly well. [B-]

Thought 3: John Fox ought to thank Payton. Payton turned out to be the best Panthers coach on the field today. He did his part in saving his buddy's job by clearly deciding he didn't want to win it. I'm disgusted with this interesting little notion. Sure, one could use any number of alibis and excuses such as keeping players healthy. But then you'd be assuming that us fans are too stupid to notice the lack of coaching effort needed to win this game. [F]

Thought 4: I was glad I could walk out and start grilling at halftime, knowing my team could lose and it not affect their seeding. [A]

I hope I'm just being negative and pessimistic about the idea Sean lost on purpose -- please somebody knock some sense into me

DANG MAN....I want to slit my wrist after reading that. The sad thing is its true to an extent, but geesh....and your a blind fan if you dont see the truth in it. although i dont think I have ever thought we fluked our way????...

So anyway, I just got back from a 10 hour fishing trip for sturgeon. Can someone recap what happened today for me? thanks I didnt think it was worth watching today, well...not more important than a day on the lake with a fishing expert...

I disagree. Fans in Dallas were saying that three weeks ago. Fans in Green Bay were saying that four weeks ago.Fans in Philadelphia were saying that six weeks ago. Fans in Minneapolis were saying that this morning.

The Saints will be healthy, rested, and at home in two weeks. The pieces are all there for a playoff run.
