Trap, When you've witnessed 6 championship wins, I guess class comes easy. Good luck for the rest of the season. Damn that defense is fast. Who dat for the win!

Our playcalling was just terrible, Mike Wallace is averaging 23 yards per catch and he was targeted what 3 times? Miller didn't even see the ball until the 4th and it looked like we were trying to run the wheels right off of Mendenhall all night. I don't know if you Saints fans know this, but Steeler nation has always hated our OC Bruce Arians and tonight just strengthened it. He flat out drew up another terrible game plan and it was the biggest eye sore of the night for me.

We'll just have to tear up the Bengals next Monday and get back on track. Anyways respect Saints....UNTIL we meet again at Cowboys stadium in February!

I was at the game, and had steelers fans sitting behind me, and some where also at the tailgate party I was at. Truly some of the classiest fans I have ever met. You guys can teach the Vikings and Falcons fans a thing or two!!!!! thx

Good game Steelers. The one thing I could not understand is why did Arians not call the QB sneak when only a few inches away from the goalline? Big Ben behind a big offensive line makes sense when all you need is a few inches, and there's probably a 90% chance he makes it in even with the Saints playin great goalline D.

Wasn't it refreshing? I kept wondering if something was wrong with Ivory when I kept seeing Julius Jones. The one thing that still got under my skin was the 8 yard route on 3rd and 9 and the 5 yard completion on 3rd and 7. Are they being told to pull up short then fight for the rest? Steelers did an excellent job getting to the ball and limiting yards after the catch. We need to film/watch their tackling technique and make it our own.

The Steelers are a respectable organization and their fans show a lot of class.

Its one of John Madden's cardinal rules: You dont run a 7 yard route, when you need 8 yards.

The other one is: Im the only Raider who can call timeout. In other words, his QB's could not come to the line of scrimmage, survey the defense, then call timeout. Either run the damn play or take a delay of game. Better to lose 5 yards now, than to run out of time at the end.

I agree with Madden.

Yeah I definitely have some respect for Steelers fans. All of the ones I talked to were real classy. There sure was a good bit of terrible towels in the dome too.

I was thinking the same thing man, like I said a lot of Steeler fans are really questioning the game plan today. We were 1st and goal and ran it 3 straight times and got stuffed. The only thing I can think of is they were nervous about giving it to him because of what happened last week in Miami (fumbled on the goal line). I would have liked to see some play action to Miller on 2nd and goal, but I guess we'll never know how that would have gone due to another one of our OC's terrible game plan.

On another note I like the way Darren Sharper and your D played, it looks like you've got a solid D right now and it can take you all the way back to the Superbowl

Black and Yellow Gold will always have respect amongst the Black and Old Gold..

I only dream that my Saints one day in my lifetime have even half the history your team franchise does..

I've hung out with a few of you Steeler fan's before and i have a few Family members that are Steeler fans, it's always a friendly affair, ya'll are always welcomed here and around my neck of the woods, good luck the rest of the way and i hope to see ya'll again around Feb.
