No way we make the playoffs so now we can sit back and watch the games and see any progress and start talking trade and draft bait. No more pressure to Win! No big heartbreak if we lose.

BountyGate can now move behind us.

Next year we get Payton back and the game and playcalling gets managed properly.

Defense looked lots better but we still need better talent.

Sadly, we are back in "next year" fan mode.

Once the clock officially hits 0:00 on the December 30th game I'll be done with the NFL until Fall 2013 - assuming this world is still here and I'm still on it.

The only exception being that come February I will break out the 2009 post season DVDs and travel back to the "good old days" instead of watching the Goodellbowl.

I do want to watch the Falcons get crushed in the playoffs again. It's the gift that keeps giving.

I think the 49er's loss was the nail in the coffin.

4 wins + 2 losses by nearly every NFC team not leading their division.

I'll be watching the games, just to see improvement in the defense from here on out...

And I can't wait for the offseason, just to see who we get...

ppppplayoffs? My expectations at the beginning were tempered, therefore as I watch the defense improve, which it has the last couple of weeks, I'm encouraged somewhat...not from the wins/losses but in light of what has happened this year, I see promise moving forward. I feel with coaching stability, the offense will stabilize. On defense, you have been seeing improvement weekly and when we have a full off season with all the components, primarily coaching and Mickey, we'll be okay. The defense needs tweaked, some gotta go, but I for one am encouraged.

lynwood, I totally agree.
I did not want to post about three weeks ago , but I could not see this team this year going pass 8-8. I HOPE HOPE the Saints can make 8-8 , no WC Playoffs, that would be great!!!

Great considering everything this year, yes it would be great.
Great and over.
Saints last few games here are very hard.
AtlF lucked out having very easy games for the rest of the year.
The last
NY Giants . That is their only hard team.
SanFran49'ers should have no problems for the rest of this month, December.
