I know many of us Who Dats are bleeding right now. I experienced this disaster dead sober. But no need for Teddy, Teddy, Teddy threads. Brees is our unquestioned leader.
imho, the loss is by far not the biggest concern. Pro ball is so much a game of momentum and confidence. No question the team came out flat and never woke up. The loss hurts. But this team is still insanely talented and deep. Yes injuries to Peat and Latt are a concern but by far the biggest concern is gaining momentum and confidence again. That's how teams go deep in the playoffs. We all know a team needs talent, but often the less talented team wins the SB because of their momentum and confidence.
Can we regain that swagger again? That's what the entire season depends on. I suspect with the blowout win against the Cards on Brees return while Drew played lights out going into the bye, the team got overconfident and lazy. If the team regains their confidence which I believe they will because of the great on-field leaders and the coaches, this team will win the SB. But confidence is a touchy item. How we play next week will tell us a lot about how deep we go in the playoffs. imho, Brees will drive this team every minute during the week to ensure this team returns to their belief in their greatness. We will not come out flat next week
