Conventional wisdom says the Saints should beat the bad teams and lose to the good teams. The Saints have never seemed to be very conventional. Add in a serious case of “any given Sunday” around the NFL this season and it seems foolish to even say that, well, I think the Saints later schedule doesn’t look as bleak a few weeks back.
Of their remaining opponents, Dallas and Cincy have collapsed. St. Louis has improved and played us very tough last season when they, well, weren’t improved. Carolina almost beat us at the ‘Dome and we are playing them at Bank of America. Seattle has bee spotty and their QB just got concussed. Then we have Atlanta in the Georgia Dome on Monday night and the Bucs at home for the season finisher.
I wonder if that last game will have “play off implications.” Seems likely. Though we didn’t do so hot versus those guys last year at home when we were trying to secure home field advantage through the playoffs.
I guess will will finish at 10-6 and a wild card. Who the hell knows. Basically that’s just saying we will have twice as many wins and losses as we do now. Hell, I don’t know.

Left Eye Moore is turning into one of the team’s most reliable receivers. We all remember his headstand for a two-point conversion in the playoffs. But the fact that he held on to this pass from Halloween night makes him studly.

Since I hate lucky charms and curses and see that they only serve to give folks psychological advantages and disadvantages, I would like to just point out that this victory was in black pants.

Saints D is now ranked third in the NFL. But rush offense is 29th. I know we have injuries in the backfield but damn.(What happened to Ivory in the 2nd half Sunday?) Brees has more INTs than all of last season and is the third best passer.

Overheard in the Quarter Sunday, “The reason I like Drew Brees is because he is a family man, a good husband and father…not some rapist.”
Not bad, game 8 and they played a good game. On a down note, damn, there was a lot of Steelers fans at the game. Kinda of embarrassing, seeing they’re World Champs.
On a down note? I thought you hated the Saints and championed their demise?
Don’t hate them, just critical of them when they play poorly — aka the Browns game. Sorry if that offends you.
You aint sorry.
You’re right, I’m not.
But if you are worried about offending someone who shouldn’t claim to be “just critical” of the team when you spent as many words criticizing me as the team. I could be a drug dealing, drunk driver and it wouldn’t make your words about the team any stronger. Just say the shit you are going to say about the team and leave me out of it. It does however make what you say look weak when you are making hasty generalizations. Do you think your critique is going to be taken as anything other than bullshit when you start telling me who I am without knowing me? I am just going to dismiss what you say as rubbish because you have shown very early that you can’t think critically. Be “just critical” of the tea without the other crap and you may have more respect from those to whom you are trying to make a point.
Awesome. Thanks for caring.
I know thats all you wanted the whole time.
