Sinner

Now that the Saints have blossomed into an absolute powerhouse, and a team that is surprisingly (to me) a team that is more exciting to watch than during much of the Sean Payton/Drew Brees era, the weekend cannot get here fast enough.

I can honestly say that I still don’t know quite what to expect. This Eagles game could easily be the ultimate spoiler, at home, while we’re still high on the last two weeks, but that’s part of the fire that makes a Saints game a Saints game.

I have been critical of Dennis Allen, Derek Carr, Mickey Loomis, and Lady Gayle herself, and will still say that individually, they don’t move me the way Sean Payton, Drew Brees, Mickey Loomis (during those years) and Tom Benson did, but the sum of these current parts is a formula that is proving itself to be a force to be reckoned with. This I cannot deny.

For me, THE SAINTS are bigger than its parts. Beyond a superstition, and certainly emerging from the relative obscurity that has made me so NEGA for the past two years, We may be looking at a SUPER BOWL this year. There I said it! I cannot predict what is going to happen on Sunday, when an Eagles team with a chip on its shoulder comes into the dome. But if we beat them, I believe that we will have enough steam to beat KC, or anyone on our schedule, all the way to the big game.

This is no jinx. I am gathering my candles, incense, cigarettes, low dose aspirin, snacks and various beverages TODAY, and decorating my Altar in preparation for this TRULY EXCITING WEEKEND AHEAD!

WHODAT!
