I always try and keep things civil. Yeah you have a lot people out there who never leave the home board.
I really get tired of listening to the homers stoke each other.....it's kind like sex with your sister......it just ain't right!!
I know the weakness's on my team and I dont mind admitting them.

Be careful, you're starting to sound like a life-long Saints fan with statements like that.
Happily, though, we haven't had to say things like that too often in recent years.

If we go in with our wig on right we get the W, if for no other reason than we're at home.

If, on the other hard, we start slow or our defense has a brain cramp...we might be in for a barn burner.

I believe the Domefield advantage is going to be the difference. You know GW is going throw some formations at the Texans that they haven't seen before and the crowd noise is going to make it hard for Schaub to change the plays.

Short of an injury to Brees, I don't give the Texans much of a chance of beating us Sunday.

I like the Texans, even more when their defense comes to life. Our tackling is like choking down sour milk. We can make this game a lot more competitive than it really has to be. Saints defense will make the difference...one way or another.

I was shocked that our D is #1 right now. Little to early to read much into that but it sure feels better then last years ranking.....Damn near dead last.

Look at the two teams you've played thus far. Not hard to be the #1 ranked defense going against Kerry Collins & Chad Henne... Miami being the only real rushing threat put up 150 yards rushing on ya...

Which is why I said it was a little to early to read anything into it.
Considering it's a new D and D cord I'm pretty happy about how they've played. And it's kinda nice to get in a little practice on some weaker teams before going against some of the better talent out there.

The front seven have been really good...just got to wait and see if they can keep it up.

Ok, read their comments, and I especially like this one by peytonmanning18 when they were giving him a really hard time over there:

"Well I thought I would come here for some expert opinion on how to handle being a fan of a last place team. You have a lot of experience so I thought I'd come to the best."

With that said, I am little concerned about this game, but I wonder if it's just because I was at the Saints/Texans preseason game where they played their starters "forever", and we played our 3rd stringers against them??? Seems like Kubiak wants to beat the Saints so bad that he would pull out all of the stops to do so, even in preseason, and THAT may just be his downfall. I know I live over here in the Houston area, but still can't bring myself to cheer for them, even when we're not playing them.....they're just a really hard team to love!
