New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees: First loss 'a hurdle that we have to overcome'

Personally, the loss does not phase me hardly at all. A perfect season would have been nice, but if the pressure that comes with that could cause us to falter at the worst possible time, then I'm glad that the pressure of that is gone.

Now...Payton can get on with the real goal of the season, which is bringing a Lombardi to a location it's never visited...the "Big Easy." He can start resting players and preparing them for what, IMO, the season is all about. The regular season is about getting to the playoffs and the playoffs is about getting to the big dance...and then all you have to do is win one game.

EXACTLY... So many folk's over look that & were grasp'n the whole 19-0 thing way too much. It would have been nice, but i feel as though it was all far too much for the Saints to grasp all at once. See'n as they have nevver been in that situation before!!!

They will be fine though, it was a wakeup call & it could'nt have happened in a better time then now!!!

We WILL be STRONG in the post season & the whole NFL know's that. Thats why they are'nt talk'n down on us & down grading us in any way!!!

Think about it & so many anylast have been say'mn this week also... Saints have accomplished so much and more in this one season than alot of teams have done in there teams entire carrer's!!!

That say's alot!!!
