We didn't even make the list of the teams with the worst luck this season. (1 Viewer)

FYI...Bleacherreport won't allow me to post the link.

We didn't even make the list. Raven's, Bronco's, Colt's, Lion's, and Steeler's.

For all the belly aching some Saints fans have made about how many people we are missing. We are no worse off than most teams. We are a good team, and I expect us to win today and take care of business. Because we are the better team. But, the theory we are bad because of missing starters, is simply false. Next man up works for..................good teams. If we loose, it will because we have much hard work to do to get better. Not, because we are missing personnel. It is a bit early for must win games, but here we are. Any one want to dig out from 2/3. Not me! Make no mistake about it, this is a gut check game. Because, "You are what your record says you are." and don't you forget it.

Next man up works when u lose 1-2 players. Not 2 lineman. Top 2 receivers. #2 rb. Starting DT. DE. LB. cb for a game. Kicker.

I see your point, but the only one's that really hurt us, were Lutz, and McCoy.

 

[St. Aaron]

Well, that’s just our luck…

Strongly Disagree with that. Our 2 best pass rushers are out. One of the best LT in the league. One of the top WR in the league.

And kwon is light years better than any of our linebackers not named Davis.

You’re first paragraph is exactly right

But Werner is seemingly a MUCH better run defender than Kwon and only a step or two off as a pass defender
I would guess that when Kwon’s back, Werner still plays run downs - and not just bc injury management

I have to yield to you on this point. It is a daunting list when you lay it out. We have little choice at this point though, but to man up, and get to the bye week.

And your coach starts pining for the fiords or something.

Amen.

 

[Innotech]

we lost pretty much all our starters. next man up doesnt cover for losing all your star players at once

Yeah Werner has been really good. 13 tackles today. Pretty impressive considering how much time he missed in pre season

Well we dealt with a natural disaster you know.

And Kwan and Onyemata

We’ve had terrible luck with the hurricane and injuries. We’ve just overcome it.
