this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I think it was Parcells or Bill Walsh who said it best … “When you pack a defense and special teams, you’ll always have a chance of winning”. Saints have both. Did anyone catch my guy Blake G on one ...

I think it was Parcells or Bill Walsh who said it best …
“When you pack a defense and special teams, you’ll always have a chance of winning”. Saints have both. Did anyone catch my guy Blake G on one of his punts? That football looked like it traveled damn near 60 yards in the air with a back spin at the end. He’s nasty. |

Re: Observations from the Saints' Win vs Panthers
I just want that 30% chance of making the playoffs, just so I can keep on watching this defense. I couldn't really care less about the offense at this point. But this old man looks at this 2021 defense and remembers the Dome Patrol years, where field position and field goals could win the game, just from the defense alone. I want the playoffs, because I want to keep watching these defensive guys play one more time against somebody good. Period. Or once you get in, who knows. Favre could go down with a knee or something.

At one point he had 12 carries for 0 yards, then rips a 30 yard run off. He was missing holes and running into blockers, the announcers made note of it twice. |

Up till then AK was over used for the most part. Unfortunately we have not seen a 100pct AK. |

Re: Observations from the Saints' Win vs Panthers
This seemed like the best place to post this question. Apologies in advance for the somewhat trivial nature. Does anyone know if Brett Maher where’s number 19 in honor of Tom Dempsey?
I haven’t known many kickers (if any) other kickers to wear that number. I have been meaning to ask that question since he was signed, since I wear my Dempsey jersey regularly for games. |
