I will be the first to admit that I was a fan that was extremely overconfident about this game. I called that it would be a blowout. I thought the Saints were going to win this game by at least two or three scores. I even predicted a 34-13 victory. I was still on Cloud 9 from the Saints Super Bowl Victory from last season. The 49ers did everything in their power to bring me back down to Earth over the four-and-a-half hours.

I will say that I have seen myself become one of those cocky fans that people become when their team wins it all. My trash-talking has increased against fans of other teams. Tonight's game made me realize that I was losing respect for every single team and that no one in the NFL could touch the Saints. My mentality was still very much in sync with last season when they were blowing teams out of the water. I felt like that is how every game should be. I should have known better.

It is definitely true what people have been saying since winning the Lombardi. Our boys have a huge target on their backs and they will definitely get the best from every opponent they face this season. No matter how bad their team looks on paper or how badly they looked the week before, teams are going to be bringing their A-game against the Saints. They want to play the role David and slay Goliath.

A win is a win, but I hope the Saints have taken this game as a slap in the face. I hope a lot of Saints fans take it the same exact way. I know I sure did.

But P.S.--Drew Brees just proved why he is the best effin' quarterback in the NFL. Do NOT give that man a minute on the clock with two timeouts. He will make you pay.
