Actually it was three... two clanked off the goal posts, the other was wide right... (missed from 33, 55, and 50)

I guess he's not use to the artificial surface yet...

Pierre Thomas impressed a ton of people tonight!!! I like this kid and he really seems to be a Coach Payton type of player (more so than Pittman)

Is it just me or does Usama never really get the ball thrown his direction??

I couldn`t watch but I listened to the game on the radio.

what I heard;
-Martin is better than Palko
-Pierre is better than Pittman
-Mare isn`t exactly mr. automatic
-Defense played well

.... and I admitt being reluctant to jump on the Pierre bandwagon, but I now officially want to keep this guy. Even his comments off the field impressed me.

When's the last time we shut someone out??

Regardless of preseason and/or no 1st stringers!

That what I'm sayin'. I looked at the play by play on espn.com (ESPN.com - NFL - Play-By-Play) and a few names kept popping up. Brian Simmons, Chris Reis, Dhani Jones, Kaesviharn and Fred Thomas all seemed to have big games. Of those 5, Reis and Thomas are playing for a job, with or without the Saints. I think we cut Reis b/c we are pretty deep at safety and I don't see where you can keep more than 4 on the team, but I bet someone picks him up off waivers. Keep Fred around as a nickle/dime guy.

The last time I can remember a shutout was sometime around '90 or '91. We played the Raiders at the dome on a Monday Night and beat them 23-0.

1991, Dec. 16 - 27-0 win over the L.A. Raiders?
1992, Dec. 26 - 20-0 win over the N.Y. Jets

And yet this bugs me because I remember a shutout game against the Rams, and a low scoring (but not sure of shutout) at Seahawks. Rams could be in 80s, Seahawks definitely in 90s but I was listening on Radio when I was in Uk and the game finished about 5am in the morning there!
