And the day after a Win!
 

I think I have some of the Gloom and Doomers figured out. They are not so negative because they think we are bad... They endeavor to be able to say "I knew it".

1. Last night we won. Today they don't know sh1t.

2. Ironic we have more activity after our third loss in a row than we do after a win having lost 4 before it.

Gonna be really frikken quiet around here when we are 10-6.

I only see 49ers and possibly the Giants giving us trouble if we continue to improve as we have.

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

I'm result-driven. However, we are the best 1-4 team in the league!

We don't break even until we beat Tampa Bay (away), Denver (away, and that's gonna be tough), then Philly (home).

If we win those, we get a winning season against ATLANTA, in the DOME.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm still looking uphill. LOL

Who DAT?!

Alaska

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

We suck..............just kidding. We are getting better every game and the defense seems to be getting it together.

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

We have yet to step on the field this season and have it all.

We have just been stepping on the field with out having it all together.

That is changing.

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

I'm just really busy at work today...the only reason I haven't posted anything.

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

I'm not sure the team played much better at all in quarters 1-3 than we have most of the season. But toward the end of the 3rd and in the 4th quarter both sides made plays and got it done with a few breaks finally going our way. Glad to see us finish strong. The pass protection was mostly better in this game and the running game showed a bit of progress in the 4th quarter. We've got a long way to go though. If I were coach we'd be working on virtually nothing but the running game during the bye and come out with 40+ carries against Tampa. Too much of the load is on Brees and Colston now and we need to balance it out.

We won?

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

Oh lord 10-6. How I hope and pray that you are right. 10-6. It sounds so good. 10-6. I'm just going to keep thinking it.

10-6.

:goodidea:

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

It was a big relief to get that win. We are getting better but there are certain players that are not. Jenkins in numero uno. He seems out of position damn near every play. He tackles like crap, what is his deal?? Harper made a couple of nice plays. Nice to see him improving. We are almost there. They are still sticking with the zone which seems to leave the rb in the flat wide open every play. Hopefully we can figure out an answer to that cause it's been happening all year.

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

:stupid:

There certainly is less activity today, no doubt, and if us winning keeps some of those G&Ders and the trolls away, well I certainly won't complain. Who Dat! :bng:

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

I think we split Carolin and Atlanta and sweep Tampa Bay.
Denver has been playing fairly well also, meaning they really haven't been blown out and they seem to be getting it together also.
Not sure yet about the Giants and 49er's.

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

simple formula...defense plays like a mid tier defense...we can win

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

Just so glad, so glad they won. For their self-confidence as a team. For winning on a night game and at home and of course, really historic night for Brees on the Saints team breaking Unitas record. This was major , a major win for the Saints since this season has been so , well, not so.
It was a good game. It was a W.
A win is a win is a win.
A lost is a lost is a lost.
My take on the gam,e:
Attaboys, remember when Mora used to give Attaboys Praise to those of players of the week...well,
Colston, Ingram , Camarillo, Graham and of course, Brees to Henderson in 1st qrtr.
Harper made up the 4th qrtr. for mistakes earlier.
3rd qrtr. Colston, Thanks God Colston about :20, :11 at end of 3rd qrtr. had a td. Saints 21, SD 24 at that time. Colston really worked hard that game.1st qrtr. Roby on Sp. Teams took down SD #11. Good time, good play.
4th qrtr. Attaboy to Galette.
2nd qrtr. Smith sack made up for mistake earlier.
I esp. like how in 4th qrtr. the defense started really playing like a defense side should play.
Whatever the turnaround was in attitude at the 4th qrtr., they need to start that in the 1st qrtr.
I tried to keep notes on each qrtr. so I would not forget some things.
Good post x626x. One more thing, Saints had fewer penalities and turnovers this game.
Yes, saintfan and x626x, I hope this is a real turnaround for the Saints. I think so. They now can remember oh, what it is like to win.
They do not want to go go back weeks 1-4.

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

The defense only gave up 136 total yards in the second half... I'm still astonished at the second half turnaround, just like in the GB game.

The win definately made it easier to get up and make it through the Monday, even if we're just 1-4...

I can finally see the light when it comes to the defense, they actually preserved the win last night!

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

This is what the bird droppings will feel when they have to play the Saints!

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

No longer in total shock that we started 0-4, we were able to sober up and visit the outside world today.

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

The dark clouds have been lifted. The Sun is out, the birds are singing. Oh Happy Day. The Saints Win !!!

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

jumping the gun a bit... we have a tough schedule ahead. In order for us to have a shot at going 10-6 we must establish the run and improve our run D. Can that happen, sure. Will it happen, I dont know.

I do want to see how the team responds with a W under their belt. I also want to see if Vitt can bring some swagger back to the team... We have talent (except on the D line) we need heart!

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

Defense still scares me. We are going to have to keep scoring A LOT of points if we want to win or hope the D gets better as the year goes on

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

It is you who wants to be right. If you understood anything about human nature, you would know that forums are more a place to vent. When we're happy, we celebrate, go get some fast food and have a little party. We carry a smile on our face a little more often. The first instinct isn't to get online. I don't even vent immediately after a loss. It usually takes at least a day before I even want to talk about it, but people in general need to vent more than they need to express happiness. The happy thing takes care of itself.

I was thrilled with the win lastnight, and I still am. If you want me to congratulate you that we are still 1-4, however, that isn't going to happen.

Nobody said we were going 0-16, and I'm still holding faint hopes of making the playoffs. But this win doesn't make anybody wrong that we were playing horrible before. You really think we enjoyed watching this team lose, so we could be right? If we did we wouldn't be complaining, would we? But you seem to think this is some type of competition. If that's what you want, I'd be glad to give you the victory. I want the Saints to win.

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

We are playing a bit better every quarter. Our defense is still a long ways from decent. We beat Denver and I see a lot more hope. It was nice to see the pass rush show up in the 4th. We need that to be consistent for our defense to be successful.

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

Best Defense?
Use our strengh on offense ,control the clock longer and don't turn it over. Minimizes our defense on the field

Re: And the day after a Win!
 

Football is "make it", other team "takes it"... If you cant stop the other team the score stays tied for the most part.
