9-7 may not be enough (playoffs) ... the NFC division as a whole is looking strong.

No excuses ... beating Carolina on Sunday is a MUST.

Opposing QB's were pretty damned good the first two games. We have an extremely young team. They'll improve with experience.

Maybe by next year. No way this **** show improves enough to be a contender for even a wild card. Season is done. I will still watch and listen every week but my focus will be more on players, not weather or not the team loses. I will look for the players who will make more of an impact next year as well as who needs to go. There is still fun in the game but we won't go over 500
Brees no longer has what it takes to carry the team anymore and he has less help along the offensive line. Our defense and running game were supposed to take some of the load off him and they have failed.

if he could stand for more than 2.5 seconds, he could carry the team.

A second full week with the O-line working together will help this week. Getting Armstead back most likely after the week 5 bye will help even more. And Strief should be getting close to returning very soon thereafter.
