Judging by how we have played in the last 3 games I say we go 2-3 losing to SF SEA and CAR. Going to be tough road ahead. Personally I don't think Payton should be calling the plays anymore.

You watching the Seattle / TB game right now?

14-0 TB, almost the 1/2, and Seattle's D is looking fairly normal at home.

The drops and Ivory running through holes my mama could have gained 5 yards...the drops though, that is the primary reason we lost.

Turnovers and dropped passes killed any momentum we had. We are banged up and lost to a team that had something to prove after taking a beat down last week. On to Jerry's kids. WHO DAT!!!

Surely all that Oak is saying is that if we are going to lose, it's better to lose to a team in the AFC than in the NFC. Which is correct. He's not saying he wants us to lose.

Am I missing something?

what you are missing is my point. I didn't say anyone wants to lose. But to suggest that it's ok to lose because it's an AFC team is nonsense. It's two loses. We are behind the Seahawks as a result. It's simple math that some people refuse to acknowledge.

I suggested no such thing and would appreciate my words being taken at face value.

Here is your scenario, you have to give 2 losses to somewhere in the NFL. Where would you rather have them?

I understand that logic, Oak. My point is that these are games we should have won. So to answer your question, I'd rather have two losses to teams where I would more expect to have a loss. Now we MUST beat all of the best teams on our schedule. There really is no margin for error now, if there ever was.

There is no way Oak was saying it was ok to lose. That is out of context. I read it as 'if we are going to lose it is better to do so to an AFC opponent'. He's a Saints fan like all of us so why would he want us to lose? Come on man!

Yet again, I did not say 'WANTED to lose". The suggestion is that it somehow matters less because it was an AFC team. There will be no tie breaker scenarios if we can't beat the teams we should beat. It's a simple point I'm making.
