Our Saints just keep getting better!

WhoDat!656 · 03-16-2012, 07:29 AM

I understand how other teams/fans, (media), hate the Saints so much!

Saints sign a battered QB that 31 other teams weren't interested and turn him into an NFL record-shattering machine!

The Saints lose Reggie Bush and sign Darren Sproles!!

The Saints lose Carl Nicks and sign Ben Grubbs!

And the Super Bowl is being played in New Orleans this year and the Saints are poised to make history again!!

Proof that good decisions make a better team than good players.

Dallas - went out and bought good players.... see where they are now.
Eagles did the same thing...

IDK, I don't really hate the Saints so much,

... gotta' hand it to your front office on the Nicks/Grubbs thing, great example of how to keep pace with player turnover in today's NFL.

Funny My wife and I had a discussion yesterday after Megatron signed his deal over dinner with family here in Houston. She is a football fan, but more fanatic than enthusist. I told her I would trade two of Brees for one of Calvin Johnson, she immdiately replied with her hard NO accent and best " you trader" voice Hmm who gon throw em the ball then, to which i replied I can go get Ryan Leaf to come out of retirement take two step drops and hoist that "bi#$%" up to Megatron. My sister and law who is also a diehard saints fan was in the middle of drinking her Zinfindel and it came flying out she was laughing so hard I think Zinfindel actually came out of her nose!!!! I said that all to say we are admirers of you guys progress as well as our own, let's toast to franchises that have come a mighty long way, but not with Zinfindel, I'll take a light beer!!!

... this Guinness is for you a/cat, to the Saints getting better & the Lions meeting them in the NFC Championship one day ... oh, what a glorious day that will be ... to the continued success of both, may Drew's arm never fail him and may there never be an overthrown ball Calvin can't reach. Bud'mo!

Dinner & football, two of my favorite subjects as well ... made 'Breesy Cheesy Beef & Mac' last night from the recipe I got on B&G and it is hands-down the BEST mac & cheese on the planet. No wonder Drew eats it before a game, it puts you in a great mood ...

However, we have never been run by Matt Millen...but we don't have to live in or near Detroit...but we do have to deal with cap issues and stupid bounty crap....

I guess it all sort of evens out in the end.

From a talent perspective only, I just don't see it so far this year though.

We only replaced a G with a G for.

It was the best case scenario regarding the G for a G thing. We lost the best G to some ridiculous offer and replaced him with the 2nd best free agent G for less money thus allowing us to do more things.
