Ouch.

Next man up! We've dealt with this all year long. We really only had a semi-healthy Pierre Thomas one game. Fortunately Bush is back in form.

The Saints just don't have the depth to compete with established franchises like the Seahawks.

That was a joke, right?

Julius Jones, DeShawn Wynn and Joique Bell.

Oddly enough, even with an excellent QB, the saints defense is what is mainly going to determine their fate. It's clearly what won the game against us.

This is true. The RB position is one of the least important positions in the Saints offense, outside of Bush and his mismatches. The defense won several games for us this year. I think that they should be able to handle the Seattle "attack?"

Agreed, I don't normally bet NFL games, but if i only have to give up ten or less points this weekend I would probably take the saints....

The defense for the saints is really going to have to step up without your two grinding runners. Maybe julius will have fresh legs and be somewhat effective.\

Pretty sure you guy will be going to chicago the following week...

My thought, too.

Anyone suppose they see if Deuce is in shape? (I'd bet money he isn't). They currently have a 3rd down back and a bunch of garbage left on their roster at RB. Payton loves this, BTW, so he has an excuse to pass every single offensive play.
