Re: I love this kind of thinking...

Like 2009, flying under the rador is just fine with me

Re: I love this kind of thinking...

I'd rather us ride low key to the SB.. just the way it was last time. But by that time all the downers and naysayers will be on the bandwagon drinkkn my kool aid. damnit!

Our season hasn't even started yet. You should be brimming with enthusiasm, not drowning in your sorrows already. Anyone who has been a fan more than 10 years knows about heartbreak and disappointment. But we're not that same dysfunctional organization anymore.

Leave the hand-wringing and the gnashing of teeth to the talking heads. We're about 24 hours away from kickoff, its time to get excited! I think its gonna be a fun season, and I'm looking forward to doing my small part to support my Saints. Who Dat!

What do you expect them to say? They are "journalists" (and I use that term loosely). They have to go with the pick that is safe. Atlanta is a safe pick. Why shouldnt they pick Atl seeing as all of this is pretty much based on last years performance.

Re: I love this kind of thinking...

But the real question is.. WHEN (not if cause it will happen) drew wins his second SB does he get thrown in the conversation with the greats and hall of famers?

3. Offensive weapons being equal (which they aren't, but for the sake of argument) their offensive line sucks.

4. There is absolutely zero evidence that Atlanta's defense is any better than the Saints this season. The only evidence of either is preseason.. Take from it what you will, but in an example that doesn't count we were better. 5 sacks on Matt Ryan in 3 Qtrs of one game says a lot.

Feel free to come back and provide evidence that any of those four statements are wrong.

So all things being equal there is NO safe pick.

These are my Saints.........screw anyone who doesn't understand! They can go straight to Hell with those dirty birds.
