Yes. Newton rolled the ankle that he had surgery on two years ago. I hope he tries to run. He is one hit away from an extended absence.

Superman don't take no extended absence!

But I do wonder why Superman is so obsessed with smelling his armpits...

3rd and 9 from the 18 with 20 seconds left in the 2nd quarter. No timeouts. Brady dropped back, scrambled and rushed for 8 yards coming up short of the first down with about 15 seconds left and the clock ticking. Brady immediately got up and started signaling for the field goal team who was ready. The field goal unit quickly but smoothly lined up, the center snapped the ball with a couple of seconds on the clock and Gostkowski made a 28-yard field goal as time expired. Business as usual.

If you're like me, you watched this happen and thought two things as Brady ran off the field and the clock ticked down:

#1. They are absolutely going to get this off in time and make this.

#2. Most teams would not.

Not because their kicker isn't good or their quarterback can't scramble. Becuase they're not prepared.

This isn't an issue of talent. This is an issue of desire. The desire to be ready for what can happen. To have thought about it. To acknowledge the situation. And to execute when you know it's time. It's the edge that wins. Granted, when both sides are equally prepared, the more talented side wins. But in a great many cases, I've found the other side doesn't prepare. They don't put the work in to win.

The great news is anyone can prepare. I don't have to be able to throw a football like Tom Brady to prepare. And neither do you.

I wonder if our second best player (Lattimore) on defense even plays Sunday? Per NOLA, he missed practice on Wednesday AND Thursday.

Bump ...

Lattimore and Moore ruled OUT on Sunday vs the Panthers.

Unreal...

Guess the cornerback curse is still alive and kicking.

I'm not even going to bother watching. Why subject myself to that?!

Don't worry, Payton will just draft another 3 next season and continue to ignore the D line or pass rush.

What, a Saints win? Why not?

Myself, I'm going to be decked out like usual in my Saints gear with all of my luckiest decorations in place and watching just like I have for every game since Sunday Ticket first became available. Before then I was forced to catch all of the un-televised games on radio. I watch because I love my Saints, win or lose, and I want to enjoy every play.
