Rugby Saint II

Hey, all that matters right now is winning the next few games with a reinvigorated team. Most likely Sean Payton doesn't consider this a three game skid. We have the most important parts of the puzzle coming together at the right time. We have HFA and a bye week to make things click again.

I wonder how much different this would all sound if we had beaten Tampa Bay???

Isn't that what this all boils down to?


We lost to a Dallas team that was desperate for a win and had just played a very good chargers team well. Meanwhile, the media was rubbing their collective noses in the same poop pile they are trying to rub ours in. Dallas responded.

Yesterday, we rested several key people the entire game and many more some or most of the game. The Colts did this and so did other teams with nothing to gain in playoff seeding.


So all this hating on the Saints boils down to us losing 1 game that we shouldn't have, combined with the sports media's desire to have their hand picked 4 teams in the conference championships (and we're not in their number).



Something tells me that the writer of this column will be "surprised" that the Saints came out of nowhere to win it all...

One more comment on how stupid this column is.

How can the Saint be any lower than #4 ????

Two of the six NFC teams WILL BE ELIMINATED before the Saints even take the field.

Surely in his infinite wisdom this NFL expert "knows" which two teams are going to lose and should be ranking them #5 and #6.

Hard to be a scary team when you are already eliminated...

bring on the media all the negative crap about us the better, the more bulleton board material the better,bring it you goat milken sports reporters that don't know jack-s--t about this team. they play the odds just like vegas them cowards, my statement is this to everyone our boys will be rested,will be injury free, will be hungry for that taste of victory again. i feel bad for anyone coming to the dome,i mean it. can you imagine shocky they will have to put a ball and chains on this cat. he surely has been a missing link. jabarre looked decent yesterday, the d just over ran that play yesterday. watch what rested players do thats all i'm saying, if we get beat then we just are not built for the big one yet. its on #1 seed baby

thats the fact jack!!!!!

Time to earn our keep...just shut these chumps up...its all on us

As for momentum... I don't buy it. How much momentum did they have going into week 1??? If they heal up and get some good practice in, they're going to kick some tail in the play-offs.

We were 3-1 in preseason.

But I agree with your statement to an extent but I'm not willing to ignore this team's problems - I just hope that the bye week is all they needed to get better.

We will be healthy and will beat the eagles in the first round. Yes, the Eagles......they will beat the NFC's most feared team next week!!!

st thomas

i agree with you ,its the eagles that may be in the dome. the cowboys will continue there streak in the playoffs o-far sense 1996

Not to mention all the injuries to a defense that wasn't stellar to start with.

Getting Greer, Porter, Sharper, Gay, Young, Shanle, Fujita, Moore, Shockey, and Thomas all back to 100% will totally change both sides of the ball.

Odd how the media always points to injuries affecting the popular teams but dismisses them when discussing the Saints.
