I'm just saying, a projected starter goes down, you plug in Onyemata and Jenkins, it's not the same line. And all the hoopla about the offensive line is legit in the preseason but Rankins's play is not?
Just my two cents |

On to Denver... |

This defensive effort is not going to get it done against the Broncos...
Team worked hard to get to .500, but if the defense and especially the kicking game play like they did against the Broncs - it's gonna be a long day... |

From the worst offense in the league? Yeah, you're right. They were at home. Those roaring crickets in the stands definitely made all the difference. Our defense was awful today. Please don't waste anyone's time by trying to pull yet more excuses out of the garbage can. |

I didn't expect Rankins, or Breaux or anyone else who haven't played for months to come riding in on a Unicorn and win the world for the Saints today.
They must get back into game shape. I believe that we will be much more stout on D in the coming weeks with their return. I just don't get the all or nothing mentality. They weren't perfect so f-em! They were ok so they are all-world. There is a middle ground. That all goes out of the window when hyperbole is used to MAKE MY POINT! The Saints won today. It wasn't perfect and it wasn't an atrocity. It was a w. |
I'm no one.
Who are you? |

You can't overlook just how bad it was that receivers were running completely unchecked, virtually the entire game. Or if you want, I guess you can. That's up to you.
Yes we won, and that's great. Everyone has given credit to the offense, and even to the D for at least managing to cause those turnovers. It's not an all or nothing mentality to say the defense played like garbage for most of the game. Someone please show me where in the definition of being a fan that it says you have to act like a groupie and worship the team, heaping praise just for the sake of making people believe you are the biggest and greatest fan. And I'm not even saying that others can't be unrealistically positive. Just lay off on the holier than thou approach while you're doing it, please. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
