This one felt GOOD

I just had a feelin' about this game...one I don't usually get. I'm almost ALWAYS nervous when the Saints play, even if they have a big lead because, well, because I've seen the worst of the worst happen to the Saints over the years. Yesterday was different somehow. Even when TO scored that TD. Even when we were down 24-13. Even when the 9'ers scored their last field goal to take the lead 27-25. Instead of yelling at the TV and scaring my dog, frightening the Girlfried and greeting the cops at the door a few minutes later...instead of all that on this particular Sunday I smiled. I had this tingle in my gut. It was a good game to watch, and for some reason or another I just KNEW the Saints would win it. Maybe it was because they couldn't stop us on 3rd and no matter how many...maybe it was because we'd been running the ball down their throat all day long. Maybe it was becasue no matter how much our "D" struggles they always manage to come through when it counts. I'm not really sure why, but I KNEW the Saints would win that game at the opening kickoff. As a Saints fan it was a feeling I'm not accustomed to having, but one I welcome in the weeks to come. Our team is FINALLY fun to watch. We may not win every game from here on out, but we're competitive...even more than that, we're TOUGH. If Dale Carter comes back we're lible to win the Super Bowl...we might even win it if he doesn't, but even if we dont' we're gonna scare the hell outta some teams along the way! ;)
