i honestly thought they'd bring him back weeks ago. . . .

Yeah...I'm guessing he hasnt recovered from the microfracture they way they'd have liked. Cant really think of any other reason not to bring him back and no other teams are contacting him either

the comments you use against the Saints are the same comments used by MSM about the Broncos.

I guess the difference is that the Broncos have actually been tested. At this point the Saints have played the Giants...whose #1 offense is simply inflated by an easy early schedule...and the next best offense they've faced has been the #17 Falcons. Both teams have put up over 25 points on them.

Denver has faced #4 Dallas, #5 NE, #10 Baltimore, #13 SanDiego and #14 Cincinnati

I won't say I'd pick Denver to win a game against NO...but I'd definitely take the Broncos defense over theirs

The Saints offense is also scoring off of dumb luck. They aren't going to get those defensive touchdowns against a team with a smart QB. They've also needed those defensive touchdown. They are a paper tiger; in the regular season they are probably the scariest team to face and in the playoffs they're a shitter version of past Peyton Manning lead Colts teams.
