I'd feel better if we show signs of correcting our bad habits. Our second half again were awful. There really isn't any creativity in our offense. It's the same thing: Shotgun formation, draw to Faulk, run quickouts, try to hit Welker in the middle. They took Welker away tonight by bracketing him and keeping a guy inside of him. What was our answer? Moss always had a safety on top so that's four guys on two players and yet our OC couldn't manufacture any plays were we could take advantage of their defense.
As for our defense, we have idiots on these boards who look at nothing but stats and claim "hey, we got the third ranked defense!" BS, but when you watch our non-existent pass rush, you know it we're gonna get lit up by the Manning's, Brees, and probably Rivers.
We need a legit pass rusher, a legit OC, and for Bill to commit to the running game again.
No single game or a couple of games define a season. This NO game was less important than any division game. I am feeling ok about this loss. Not a huge disappointment. We were soundly thumped by Brees. He has been a good QB, but tonight he was great.
The team just needs to make adjustments and move on. There's nothing they can do except get healthy and win as many games as they can. I really don't care as long as they make the playoffs, at that point anything can happen.
I feel that the New Orleans loss is worse because of the way the Patriots got completely outclassed in all 3 phases of the game. The Indy game left us fans with a sense that "we're pretty close, we just need to correct a few things and execute properly in the 2nd half."
The New Orleans game left us with "we need to make wholesale changes amongst the coordinators, and bring in new players from either the draft, or free agency (ie: pass rushers, and O-Lineman, CB's and a 3rd WR) just to compete with the best"
i feel the team is further than from where i'd like them to be at this point, than after the Colts game.
I dont know how you can say the Indy loss was worse. I feel like we had Indy beat and we lost the game. I dont think we will "lose" a game like this in the playoffs (oh wait 2006 AFCCG). We were totaly out classed tonight and that is a problem.
