Re: Disappointed, very
Yep, I hope so. Two hands on the ball, Michael Thomas. I am always aggravated with any loss, but I usually am over it in a few hours after the steam wears off. I can tell I'm going to be thinking about this one a bit longer.
You're right that at least we have a short week. I hate thursday games, but maybe they need a quick turnaround right now. |

Re: Disappointed, very
Amen Brother were not out yet, I am encouraged by the improvement
of parts of the Defense. But our secondary needs to step up another level. However a lot of teams in the League are dealing with banged up secondary's I think it's the nature of the beast. |

Re: Disappointed, very
this week sucks. at least we play Thursday, hopefully we can get it turned around and play good Thursday. Maybe Armistead will be healthy enough to play the whole game

Brees took ownership of his mistakes and still put the team in a position to win it. All ups for Drew.

Looks like I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue!

Breaux did not look healthy, thomas ran a slant and Breaux just jogged behind him.

Re: Disappointed, very
Who gets blamed for that though? Do we now start telling the centers to stand up to create contact among players trying to jump oversowe can get the call? Because the center was DEFINITELY touched

Re: Disappointed, very
We all need to take a deep breath, settle down and look at this loss rationally:
We lost to an AFC team; virtually no tie-breaking implications I don't think we play a team as good defensively, (possible exception is Cardinals) the rest of the season. We are one game out of 2nd place; after we sweep out the litter box Thursday night we will be back at .500 and in second place. I don't remember any additional injuries that look like they will be long term. Was this game winnable; absolutely, but aren't all of them? |

EDIT: I am almost with you here. The losses to the Broncos and Raiders do have tie breaker implications. Win-loss % against common opponents is the 3rd tie breaker. |
