Agreed, The fact that they were able to make adjustments, come back from 14 down, not allow a touchdown in the second half, is the mark of a champion. The right adjustments will be made, we get back some of the key players on defense. Geaux Saints, Love them WHO DATS!!

on another note, any news on Greer and what happened to him tonight?

Don't want to get used to "winning ugly!!!!!!???????" Ah how winning will spoil you. I remember when all we wanted was to be competitive! This is the Saints, Let the Falcons and QB Dick Shiner, yes Dick Shiner beat them 56-7, the first team to get beat by Tampa Bay, give Walter Payton he NFL rushing title, letting Joe Montana and SF come back from being down 35-7, had the Cowboys down 28-0 only to get beat, the first team to get "Big Benned" and so on and so on.

Ask Miami, Atlanta and Carolina how it feels to "Lose Pretty".

This is the first Saints "TEAM" we have ever seen.

A win is a win is a win.

Well said VP, I don't care how we do it, Offense, Defense, Special Teams, Reggie running sideways, Hell Take the W and move on to next weeks challenge

We shouldn't be too proud of an 8-0 record. Last year the Titans started off 7-0 and lost in the first round of the playoffs. We haven't been looking very good the last few games....successful yes, but not very good. The defense has struggled at times, while the turnovers and dropped balls could potentially cost us a game.. I'll take it for what it is..a very ugly win with some luck along the way.

First of all, "pride" is something you feel when you accomplish something.
I have not accomplished absolutely anything in the 8-0 start, and none of the players are my kids that I know of...

Second, the Titans really started 10-0 and did lose in the playoffs.
The Colts started 13-0 and lost in the playoffs as well.
Of the last 10 teams who started at least 8-0, they are the only 2 teams not make the SB.

And I don't know how long have you been a Saints fan, but remember all the lucky bounces and calls the Whiners got when they ruled the 1980's; remember all the calls/lucky bounces the Cowboys got during the 90's, or the Pats this decade. They won ugly along the way of their SB years.

Well said. I have been a Saints fan since day one. And I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly!! And I have seen every one of those calls/lucky bounces!! So I say, call it what you want. I'll take it every time. It's our turn man. So just enjoy the ride. We played a divisional foe that is a good football team, and won. Ugly? I'll take it.
