They are never going to be a team to give the same rb 20 touches in a game. Thus its hard for rb's to get in a rhythm


Which is why the Ingram deal made no sense to me.

No. Not with this defense, and not with shitty OL play and Brees playing poorly (for his level).

This team does not have the leadership it had in 2009. Brees is still the tope leader, but if a guy like Harper is considered a leader than the Saints are in trouble.

People need to realize how big of a factor Sharper was to this team. It wasn't just his pick 6's. The dude was a complete leader out there and made Gregg Williams' defense look a ton better than it is.

Vilma is an okay leader on the defense, but has definitely regressed (likely from his injury), and isn't the same type of leader as Sharper was.

Take the B&G shades off and perhaps you'll see it the same way as Chad (and I). You got to see it the way it is. If you can't see the weakening of this team you don't know football

Our lack of tackling on defense and poor decisions and lack of consistent running game are completely outshining how good our passing attack is. Drew seems to realize this and the more he throws the more he is prone to INTs.

We need MUCH better tackling, and 4.0 yds per carry. Then, we will be fine. Until then we're shooting ourselves in the foot every single week. Can't wait to see Ivory back on the field!

And I hate to say it because I really do hate them, but the Cowboys are about to win 7 in a row. and probably run away with that division.

Not even in the top five. This is an 8-8 or 7-9 team.
