Too many injuries

jlouhill · 01-08-2011, 08:12 PM

Not having PT, Ivory, Graham, Hargrove, Jenkins. That was just too much to overcome. Not taking anything away from Seattle. I watched their game last week and knew if they played with that kind of intensity again we would be in for a battle. Hats off to them. We just need to have a good draft, shore up a few things, get healthy and come back with a vengeance next year.

ive never seen people who are so soft. not graham and jenkins really...they just had bad timing on their injuries. pierre and ivory arre so soft its ridiculous. they dont even take poundings like steven jackson or petersons or maurice jones drews. its depressing

yep; RB is a serious need in either the draft/free agency

Agreed, we seem to have a bit of a soft thing going, we re gtng injuries on all sides of the ball, Ironically, when Lynch rumours started, I was thinking, man that be the kind of tough back I'd like to see in New Orleans!

We just can't go into the playoff game without a running game ... period! It would have saved our porous defense

Injuries kicked our butts today. That's all there is to it. That, and we played horrible.

Where is a Jim Brown when you need him?!! What happened to the "real" men of football? Playing through the pain! Recruit a JB!!

discipline we have no discipline on defense. Everybody gives up their assignment to try and make a big play. Harper looked like a stepchild out there the way he was beaten. Gave up his man who got up off of the ground to catch a td. You have an assignment out there you must follow through on your assignment not give up on it to try and make a big play by guessing.

Where was Sharper as well? Haven't heard his name called all season for making a play.

cargojon · 01-08-2011, 11:17 PM

Sharper is done. He's clearly lost a step, and not having Malcom today was killer.

When Bush and JJ went out, it was over. Why we tried a 2 pt conversion with a draw to a guy we signed off the street a week ago mystifies me.
