GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Here's the deal: after spending seven months waiting for the Saints' season to begin, I am not giving up hope in four games. No, not until the certainty of mathematics makes me confront another desolate offseason (as a Saints fan, I'm pretty used to them). Until that happens, I will search for reasons to keep hope alive.So I'd like to thank Pro Football Reference and the 1992 San Diego Chargers, who, led by coach Bobby Ross, quarterback Stan Humphries, and Pro Bowl linebacker Junior Seau (geez, AARP eligibility has to be on Seau's horizon soon), began the season 0-4 and won 11 of their next 12 games to finish 11-5 and make the playoffs.
They were outscored 95-29 in those first four games, this year's Saints have been outscored 119-51. So while it's unlikely the Saints go on a run similar to those Chargers, it's not inconceivable to believe they can go 9-3, and 9-7 might just be enough to win the NFC South. Other than the Seahawks, the Jaguars, the Cardinals, and the Eagles, the rest of the schedule isn't daunting at all.
But it begins this week at Seattle who, coincidentally, were the team the '92 Chargers beat in Week 5 to turn their season around. Destiny, baby. Destiny.
