As you can imagine I'm disappointed, but you played well (happy for my Son)

4-0 woop woop, bye week to prepare for major contenders in the NFC

Won with running game last week n with defence this week, we have 3 really strong aspects now. Sharper is amazing, gotta be best free agent pick up by any team in the league in this offseason

Who wold have thought after last season the D would win us a game.

Drew who?

I'm wondering what's gonna happen with Reggie now. That was a very costly fumble and with Bell coming back from injury soon his role will be decreasing further.

I fear he's now gonna be a punt returner and will be traded out at the end of the season. Shame but he had a poor season last year and this year's not been overly impressive so far.

Payton will work Bush into this offense - he's the kind of guy who could be average at best in the season but then in a playoff game could suddenly fire to life.

You don't trade a number #2 draft pick overall with a huge salary, I can't see anyone offering anything worth while (unless Al Davies goes silly again). With Bush in the game teams always have to gameplan for him. So what are we saying his production is worth? A Third/Second?? Can you get an X-factor player for that in the draft? I'm not so sure.

Payton is going to run with Bush until his contract at least IMO.

You may be right.

Last year i was lucky enough to see a couple of games in the Dome (Falcons and Packers). I came away wondering if Reggie was going to be on the team this year. Payton balled him out in the 4th qtr of the Falcons game and basically benched him, it wasn't caught on TV as the plays were on going but i was left in no doubt Payton won't have anyone on the team as a shirt seller.

Don't get me wrong I'd love Reggie to find his previous form and start producing but this season is looking as bad as the last one for him. With Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell showing value he's going to find it harder and harder to make the team in anything but special teams.

Just my opinion and i hope he can turn it around.
