For the first time in a long time, our interior oline doesn't have the athleticism to turn that dumpster fire around.

Payton needs to pull the plug on Goodwin. The sack he gave up on playaction was one of the worst plays I've seen from a Center. The defender was 7 yards in our back field by the time Brees turned out of playaction. Cost us a touchdown

That giant team went 9-7 in regular season. We will be lucky to go 7-9 at the rate we are going.

They did lose 5 out of 6 at one point.

I'm extremely worried about our interior dline rotation now. Jenkins and Bunkley both played way better when they were able to come out the game and stay fresh.

Thank God we get Bush back for the playoffs and Keenan is getting healthier. We're going to be a terrible defense the rest of the way, so when the opposing QB gives you the easiest pick 6 in NFL history, you can't drop the ball (Hawthorne)

I had hope when we were losing close games. We were playing some good football, just a little inconsistent.

I was even encouraged after the Detroit loss as bad as it was. We went to their house and beat their arse for 3.5 quarters. It showed ability.

Then we destroyed Green Bay and I was confident. Then handily beat Carolina on the road making us look like a contender.

SF sucked, but we came back and lost to a good team in OT.

Cincy was a game from hell. Not only did they destroy us, but they took out 1/2 our team in the process.

Our weaknesses are getting worse. We can't keep Brees upright, we lost Cooks for the year, we lost Bunkely for the year, Keenan is banged up, Vaccaro continues to look like shite, etc.

That game was a wake up call. Brees was placing the ball perfectly every single time until the interception, and we didn't have the lead. That never happens. I wonder how the game turns out if they don't call that holding on Jahri setting up 2nd and long instead of 1st and 10 from near midfield.

Bush is on IR.

We have no chance at making a run. Injuries and pre existing weaknesses are too large to overcome. We lost the last three games at home.

This has been a year with zero luck.

None zero zip nada.

We started the year with a empty bottle.

shite, I missed that. I knew about Cooks, but I thought that the Bush injury was going to be 4-6 weeks

Yeah. I just can't see us making a run with Pierre warren playing FS and the number 2 & 3 corners being CW and PR.

I thought it was weird that cooks was IRed 6 weeks from the end of the season, when he had an expected recovery time of 4-6 weeks.

I was very confused by this as well. Why not wait for him to come back for the playoffs? Unless they just have so many injuries across the board they felt they needed the spot.

I guess it was the need for a punt returner. I don't think they have hope in Morgan fielding punts. I first figured they were going to add Brandon Coleman, shielding him from being plucked by a team with injuries, but then they go and sign Saunders.

Punt returner for us just means catching the football or getting 5 yards with a block in the back.

Crazy how Darren Sproles leaves the Saints and becomes an elite punt returner.

He has 448 yards and 2 tds on 30 returns.

In the last 2 seasons with the Saints, he head 337 yards on 52 returns with zero touchdowns.

Special Teams coach has to go

Yes, the Falcons are us with an even worse offensive line and Matt Ryan instead of Drew Brees
