DeShawn Wynn and Joique Bell are in. Suddenly, the No. 5 Saints don’t look as quite as big a threat to make a repeat trip to the Super Bowl. One day after Chris Ivory was surprisingly lost for the season, the Saints placed Thomas on injured reserve. The team’s best running back also sat out in Week 17. Coach Sean Payton said Thomas suffered a setback in practice last week. We’ve been toying with the idea of picking the Saints to make it back to the Super Bowl. They’ve turned the ball over too much, but their defense is a lot better than people think. This news makes it harder. It’s going to be a lot harder for the New Orleans offense to stay balanced with Reggie Bush and Julius Jones carrying the load. Wynn and Bell were added to the roster in the last two days, but figure to be reserves.
Saints were never going to make the superbowl this season.. Even without those injuries theyre not beating Green Bay or Atlanta(very lucky reg season win)
Green Bay? I'm not sure they'll make it out of the Wild Card round. Atlanta and Chicago are the top two teams in the NFC right now. I don't give a damn if a win is "lucky" or not. A win's a win. I'll never count a team like New Orleans out. They can score at will when they're on.
Please tell me how the Bears are better than GB after GB just beat them with the Bears playing their starters 60 minutes. The Bears are the most overrated team in the league right now.
