How about we just win our own games and don’t leave our fate in the hands and depending on the outcomes of hostile enemies (see: U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team)?

Wanting to win every game goes without saying but that's not very common or likely

When you look at it we’re most likely playing for a wild card so Dallas losing actually helps us as they won’t be winning heir division and we are competing with them and the Falcons for a wildcard. Dallas was only a 1/2 game behind us. 

I'm not sold on us just going wild card, I think it's the most likely scenario, but the saints can be had if/when the injury bug gets em.  Their o-line is playing insane, but that position gets dinged up the most.  Also brees could get hurt and or revert to the interception machine he can turn into from time to time.

Atlanta has the worst bandwagon fans

As a resident of Atlanta. I fuging know it. And these sorry red and black wearing pieces of poo keep telling me that I've lived here too long to still be a Panthers fan and I need to convert to a Falcons/Bulldogs fan. I pull for Auburn in college just to spite these motherfugers. Man fug them.

A half game out if we win tomorrow?  We are playing for the division.  I am not sure why some think the division race is over simply because the Saints blew out someone today.  We were further behind at this point in 2013/2014 seasons, and still won it.  

The main thing to remember is New Orleans also has the tie breaker right now and will likely sweep us. They blew us out at home, we still have to go play them in that dome which is harder to win in.

Other than the Saints, the Falcons are the only other team in the NFCS that controls their own destiny.  They play us once and the Saints twice.  They can win the division by winning out.  We, on the other hand, have to win out and rely on NO to lose another game.  

That week 17 showdown with the Falcons might be huge.

IMO, its way to early in the season to start thinking like that.  If we win tonight, we are a half game out.  Can't lose next week, and the Jets is a winnable game for us, while the Saints play Washington (whom they should beat) and the Rams.  The Rams will be a very interesting contest, and could go either way.  We could easily go into our game with them tied for first.  Yes, its tough to win in the dome this year, but not because its a tough place to play.  Its tough because the Saints are a good team. 

 

We have lost three games this year.  In those three losses, we have thrown 8 interceptions.  Three against NO, three against Philly, and two against the bears.   Two games at home and one on the road.  We won at NE (just as tough if not tougher than New Orleans) and at Detroit.  In those games 1 interception combined.   If we can go into New Orleans, and avoid turnovers, we have a very good chance of winning, regardless of where the game is played.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
