If our offense ever shows up and plays the way they're supposed to, we're blowing out every team in the NFC.

From watching the teams play, Seattle's offense is mediocre, the 49ers offense is better, but still not what the Saints SHOULD be, and the Panthers can't really score on us either. This is our year. I think we'll heat up. Who's with me?

40whiners are a team that scares me now. With a healthy Crabtree their offense is improved.

The stats are what frustrate me. They show the potential. But if take out the home games, we're probably in the bottom 5 or 6 in offensive stats. awesome at home, awful away. Sorry to poo poo on the thread, I know it's purpose is to be optimistic. Just don't feel like this team really wants it bad enough right now.

And don't forget Junior Galette is 14th with 10 sacks...

good morning who dats! its approx 3 days away from all talk to be put aside. i love the optimism you all have but let me point out a lil fact about the playoffs teams that has won championships i.e.super bowls are teams that either got hot later in the season or got hot during the playoffs (which subsequently late in the season). our beloved saints on the other hand isnt the hot team going into the playoffs. i know a lot of you gonna say where's the loyalty where's your optimism but its a fact. we're beat up on defense we just lost our talent db vaccarro due to an ankle injury in which you all should know we're were considered skinny in that position especially when j greer went out. our ol cant run block nor pass protect and if you look into drew's eyes he look spook. he's holding the ball longer maybe because wide rcvrs arent getting open or he's trying to go for the long pass either way its resulting in sacks, knock downs and hurried passes. we are very dominant in the mercedes benz dome but away we sputtered and sometimes just looked flat plain and simple. our offense look so i mean so predictable like i said before its almost like the other teams' defense know our plays what we're running when we run it. to be honest this is not the way i want what i like to call a "team that has something to prove" play towards the end of the season. the carolina loss wasnt that upsetting as the loss to the rams a team i felt we should have beaten easily on the road. hey who dats. just to be hones with you all its hard i mean very hard for me to be optimistic about our chances in the playoffs especially if we have to go on the road.
