Nope, we lost because Drew and the rest of the team laid an egg.

Its why the say "On any given Sunday"

I'd be surprised if the Lions upset the Saints, but I certainly wouldn't be shocked.

But in order for that to happen, Drew will have to play badly, and I just don't think he has any bad games left in him this year.

Wow. not at all. I had the misfortune of making that game my road trip this year. Crowd was dead and virtually non-existent.
We lost bc our rookie OT got schooled, Drew panicked and tried to get us back in the game too quickly, and there were a few freak plays (blocked punt?)

No, we lost to the Rams cause we played sh*tty.

But, the reason we beat you a month ago is cause we are BAD A$$ M-Fs.

Absolutely not. The Rams loss was actually the key motivation that eventually made the 2011 Saints better than the 2009.
The Rams were the better team that day.

The first half of the season our defense was "suspect" at best before and during the Rams game.
During the Rams game our o-line was decimated with injuries at 3 positions and exposed Drew Brees.

A week before the Rams game our starting center Olin Kreutz essentially quit football.

The Rams game changed everything for the 2011 Saints. The defense reorganized and came back stronger. The o-line reorganized and returned to send 2 players to the pro-bowl.

Drew Brees didn't throw an INT after that game for 7 straight weeks.

We were 5 - 3 after the loss to the Rams and we ripped up 8 straight wins, mostly with increasingly larger margins of victory that built up like a train, to finish 13 and 3.

By the time we played Carolina last week, our team on all 3 phases of the game was not recognizable compared to the Rams game.

You'll have to forgive my fellow Lions fan, that's his m.o., I was hoping to avoid him down here. Discussing football isn't his strong suit . . . being a comedian, maintaining a strict code of double standards and yanking people's chain is . . . I'll edit out the 'Who Dat' in my signature, it is a Saints thing and I am a guest in your house . . . respect.

go Lions

o.k. As the Saints train starts out Saturday night Payton the engineer boards the train and pulls out, the train might spin its wheel at first starting out, then Payton lets the engine warm for a while steadily getting a feel for the tracks once he get a good feel the train starts to pull away, once this happens he slams the hammer down until the train is screaming down the tracks where nothing can get in the way to his destination of Indy. Detroit will not stop this train nor will they slow it down, Payton and his crew are on a mission.
