Is it an excuse if you are late to work because someone rear ended you, or is it an explanation? There is only so much next man up that you can do in the NFL before the drop off is extreme. I mean let's say the Rams lose Donald and Suh, should you just expect them to next man up and still be the same team? Obviously not. So no, it wasn't an excuse for the Saints falling off, it was an explanation to the why they did. No one said "well if the Saints were healthy they would've won the Super Bowl" which would've been an excuse, it's simply stating a fact as to what led to a drop off of the Saints play at the end of the year. Every team that beat the Saints deserved to beat the Saints regardless of the injury situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going 3-1 seems very unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAF-N72EX Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I have learned over the years to never count out a team led by great QB's like Rodgers and Brady no matter the circumstances until they are officially eliminated. That may seem like a simplistic view but sometimes a simple view on things is better than over-thinking it and both have proved that notion to be true countless of times.

If you have a great QB who is playing lights out you at least have a chance for the playoffs no matter how beat up the team may be. Its the main reason I believe Atlanta still even has any hope this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, but it's a team game, and that team is mediocre at best with a HOF QB. And they have 4 good TEAMS they have to go 3-1 against. Maybe they prove me wrong, but I dont see it, and I dont think they do either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could totally see all between 2 and 3.5-4 losses. In the NFC people shouldn't sleep on Carolina or they might secure a 1st round bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
