Falcons also lost Antone Smith for the season.

The only guy who can catch and get open for us is out... lmao yeah we're done , I mean even if we do win the south , why would we want to ? We won't beat anyone and it would take us smooth out of contention to pick up desperately needed players.

Re: Report: Saints' Brandin Cooks out multiple weeks with broken thumb
 

If we play like we did against Green Bay, we can and will beat anyone. I'm disappointed that so many have lost faith. Every team in contention has looked awful at some point this year.

Re: Report: Saints' Brandin Cooks out multiple weeks with broken thumb
 

Because I for one would be more proud of a team that didn't give up for a better draft pick. That would make them quitters and as a fan I'd be ashamed...

Re: Report: Saints' Brandin Cooks out multiple weeks with broken thumb
 

I agree.

There have been a lot of bad years. This looks to be another one. There's no reason to be embarrassed. Half the teams each year don't have winning records. Payton and Loomis have been one of the most successful Coach/GM combos in the league for years now. They'll do what they need to do to right the ship, we hope.

It's only embarrassing when you quit.

Re: Report: Saints' Brandin Cooks out multiple weeks with broken thumb
 

well Sunday against the Bengals was pretty embarrassing

I saw no drive, no heart, no will


the first 5 loses the team was working hard
and unraveled in the end
even the Cowboys game - they came back in the second half

The Bengals game - pathetic
4 quarters, 60 minutes of pathetic

they better turn it around and will themselves to win

this is the Saints

come on

Re: Report: Saints' Brandin Cooks out multiple weeks with broken thumb
 

I don't think its a case of people losing faith in the team, its just the realisation that the Saints are not (at this point in time) the team that everyone was hoping they would be and now that (not using this as an excuse) the injury list is getting very long its hard to see where the next win will come from.

We are all Saints fans on this forum and I guess we always will be but it would be nice to have, just a little something positive, to cheer about, especially after that awful game against the Bengals.

A win against the Ravens would be just the tonic!!!!!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!

Re: Report: Saints' Brandin Cooks out multiple weeks with broken thumb
 

Reportedly Cooks has been put on IR and there may be a wrist injury involved to go with the broken thumb.

Re: Report: Saints' Brandin Cooks out multiple weeks with broken thumb
 

The play he got injured on was a punt return, he got up holding his wrist afterwards.

Re: Report: Saints' Brandin Cooks out multiple weeks with broken thumb
 

If it looks like Cooks is going to be out for longer than we thought then the rest of the team really will have to step up and earn their dollars!

Lets hope they show some spirit on all sides of the ball in the next game!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!
