Unlikely as it may be, it is mathematically possible that they fall one game short of making the playoffs.

Risks like that are why you don't just 'surrender' when it's still possible to win.

They only needed what, three onside kicks to go their way?

You have a valid point, but you don't want to injure your players and lose even more games to put you even further out of playoff contention.

sorry bro....you said yourself you didnt watch the game.....the patriots D had no answer for the saints......i dont even think i remember seeing the saints punter more than twice all game. and honestly....the saints were gunna score again late, but missed a easy field goal (karney looked retarded out there last night)

the patriots had no chance at all. and they have a big game against miami next week on the road (they are 0-4 on the road) if we beat them next week then we are a game back....they slip up again (rooting on you panthers) the phins can win the division......so they have plenty of season ahead of them to make the decisions they did last night (to sit the starters at the end)

So being up 59-0 against the Titans you leave your starters in and try and score more. But, being beat down by the Saints on Monday night you pull your starters to save injury? Hmmm...ok.

Pretty much. Heck, that was a weekly thing in 2007.

Technically, any play you leave the starters in for is an injury risk.

And yeah, Peyton came back from 21 points down with even less time a few years back.

He is a poo hole of a human.

His defensive genius status should really be questioned right about now. That D looked horrible, and add to that their second half implosions all season, and that spells one and done in the post season.

IMO, the Vikings, SD, Indy, and NO could all take them to the house....possibly AZ as well.

you must have seen a different game then i saw. The pats D did very well, but brees had some awesome throws. The hardest position in the league is a DB back, even with great coverage you can get beat.

hopefully the saints are peaking too early and will bust at the end of the season.

More dog sh*t from drama king Florio.

Apples & Oranges, that TENN game was back in October and after that the Pats had easy TB then a bye.

It's late in the season, mathematically or not anyone who watched that game knew they were not coming back. 21 pts in 5 mins saints were in bradys face all night, C'mon :rolleyes:

Hit the showers early get on the bus get rdy for miami.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      Every team does it's homework. More so than any fan.  Brooks, had he not been injured, would have been a first round talent.  I have zero problems with the team (Dan Morgan and company) drafting Brooks in the 2nd.  He is a fantastic talent.  As far as risk, this is the NFL.  Any and every player is exposed to the same brutality that the NFL is.  Despite Brooks latest setback, it doesn't cost the team much.  Our running back room is stacked.  Could they have drafted someone else? Sure. No promise that someone else would have made an impact last year.  Or this year.   When it's your job to do what Dan does, I pray you get it all right. Lord knows that there isn't a single GM that gets it all right.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.
