This will look very much like a regular season game on offense. On defense we might look kind of shaky to start.

What's the back-story again??

The Saints volunteered to play in the game.

Ok people please resist the "why are they playing so vanilla" comments and dont freak out if we look like **** during these games. Every year I see people panic over pre season games. ALSO for all of you guys who are concerend about our offenses rough start and interceptions thus far in camp. Last year our offense looked pretty bad in camp too and we all know how the rest of the year turned out.

hahaha... well diddly poo didnt come until at least the season opener.... before that, it was, "This is it.... we're gonna do it this year.... we already had the defense ....now we have a quarterback! Richard Todd will lead
us to the promise land."

Like I said, preseason..... the only time we used to have any hope..... hahahaha... theres your blast from the past for today.

I used to think that preseason was no way to judge how a season was going to go until the 2009 preseason. Even playing vanilla defense and trying not to show anything on offense, the Saints dominated every team and then took that dominance into the season.... and yes, I know we didn't go through preseason unbeaten but at the same time, it was easy to tell that team was special. I'll never say ignore the way we look in preseason again.

We can't afford to lose any this season. I say strong, steady and stay the course all the way to our final TD at the Super Bowl. It'll take a minute to regroup, but I say we are ready for the Cards. Hopefully we learned from the 49er's game and have expanded our O and tightened our D.

My Saints vintage gold tee is washed and folded and the Muffalettas will be ready. I'm looking foward to some more of that 60 points per game from last season, like only those Sexxay Saints can do.

4 days and counting, y'all! I'm sick of all the offseason bullsh*t! Bring on the 2012 season!

I can only hope to be near a sports bar with the NFLN on, otherwise I'll be listening to the radio feed on Sirius. That aside, I figure 1st qtr for the starters then go to the back ups and newbies. It'll be good to see/hear our guys in action again and while you cant draw too many conclusions from preseason, you can get a feel for where your team is. Especially when both sides have their 1st teams out on the field.
