I'm really bummed out about our playoff chances. And I'm even more bummed out that my fear of playing Chicago looks like it will become a reality.
I think I'll take off the gloves on this post and say how I really feel about us.
No running backs are on the roster right now...and Reggie Bush, as dynamic and talented as he is, is capable of losing a game by himself due to doing stupid things and just flat out choking. He's also capable of getting hurt trying to shoulder too much of a load.
Our blitzes are just pointless and Greg williams has been figured out. As good as our defense is by rank, we just cant generate sacks or turnovers anymore and the failure of the blitz to get through along with our poor front 4 rush hurts. Darren Sharper looks like an old man out there. I'm still loving our cornerbacks, but they can only do so much with our poor pass rush.
Malcom Jenkins is awesome! But wait, he's hurt also, and the way the injuries have gone, I'm sure he will either be lost for the playoffs or just play hurt and be a shell of what he once was.
There is too much pressure on Brees and he cannot win it alone.
This team will beat the Seahawks and will most likely give the Bears or Falcons a pretty good game considering they have the heart of a champion. But they won't win.
I still consider it a great season though. Going to the playoffs and winning a playoff game is more than enough to keep me happy considering all these injuries.
