They way we've been playing I don't see them as bright sides. I will be at the Rams game and after yesterday's game I'm a bit nervous now. Both teams are winless, that is a recipe for diaster for us.

Well see.

Until we start shutting down teams and running up scores, I don't have much to look forward to.

The Packers are playing what should be Saints football and it is killing me.

Opposing teams are coaching UP because we look weak and beatable on both fronts.

I see The BOO Birds are out in full force in other post's I have read today..
Like what was said we are 4-2...We have played a pretty tough schedule thus far.. Our coach gets hurt, has to leave the sideline, that had to have some impact in the game...

Now for the Defense I agree with a lot of what has been said thus far about it... It's not working... I have been saying all along we need a good linebacker to go along with Vilma... But we got nobody to be there.. Look all the good teams they have 2-3 good LB's... We have 1... The D-line is kinda not playing up to there potential... We are giving up too many big plays... We are not tackling well at all...

But on the bright side we are still 4-2 ..

AlaskaSaints · 10-17-2011, 01:35 PM

4-2 rate
Equals
11-5 or 10-6
Winning season? Sure, but...

I've forgiven the Packers loss as they are backing up their play in subsequent games. So, in my mind I'm looking for 5-1 at this point.

DASH-ONE is GONE, yes.

On the brightside... even when losing the turnover battle, we were right in the thick of things against Green Bay and Tampa.

On the brightside... Jimmy Graham is on our team.

On the brightside... Patrick Robinson is playing some good ball.

On the brightside... Colston is back in full force.

On the brightside... we get to play Tampa at home in 3 weeks.

On the brightside... ?

Our next two games are Uber-Winnable.

Drew had a bad game last week. He doesn't have many.

We only have one more division road game.

We only have one more game on grass.

The best teams we still have to play are all home games.

I dunno guys. I feel like we weathered the storm, which isn't to say we won't be challenged. With our D we all know there is some adventure left, but we control our destiny for the division and the schedule is set up well the rest of the way.

Perhaps our troops will rally together to win one for the gimper.
I worry about the supposed easy button games the next two weeks.
We seem to focus better for the tough ones.

On the brightside...we played three road games in a row and won two out of three
On the brightside...we can bench Kreutz and play De La Puenta at center
On the brightside...Chris Ivory is healthy and available giving us yet another offensive weapon
On the brightside...overall the team is pretty healthy
On the brightside...we play four of the next six games at HOME
On the brightside...Charles Brown is playing well in relief of Zach Strief
On the brightside...we had a chance to win both of the games we lost; this team doesn't quit and we're always in it
