I'm afraid we're in trouble.

Good teams find a way to win these kinds of games.

Arizona is a dangerous team ... they ran a few trick plays yesterday with good results ... they're streaky, play good special teams, lead the NFL in blocked punts/FGA (I think), Patrick Peterson played both ways well at CB/WR except he did have problems with Megatron, a banged-up Larry Fitzgerald still managed to score and Kerry Taylor? from the practice squad has stepped up nicely ... Palmer is looking pretty comfortable in the pocket for a change and they have a very serviceable running game with Mendenhall ... the young guys on their D (honey-badger-don't-care,

) looked pretty good as well.

All-in-all, I think my early season observations that the Cards were a team easily dismissed may have been a little hasty ... if this game wasn't being played in the Dome, I may have had to go with ARI,

Multiple choice question

The Saints offense (points/game) ranks
A-6th
B-23rd

The Saints defense (points/game) ranks
A-23rd
B-6th

Any other year A is the correct answer, not this year so far.

It's like 'bizarro world' seeing the Saints defense in the top ten & the Saints offense in the bottom third,

There's no way to assess either the offense or the defense based on the first two games. Look at what happened to the 49ers last night after a similar weather delay. They came back out and had nothing.

I agree and I'm just thinking when was the last time (post Dome Patrol) the Saints defense ever ranked higher then the Saints offense ... IDK what happened to the 49'ers and I certainly did not expect/predict something like that would happen, but I certainly enjoyed it,

. Gotta' give Seattle credit though,

But seriously, has Drew Brees lost a step in the game?
Should we be looking for a replacement/trying our second string?

Something is wrong with his arm. He's too old and he makes too much money. If we kept Nix and Bushrod we'd be able to run the ball and it's all because Brees is a greedy S.o.B who doesn't care about this team.

I want my moneys worth out of that contract.
Don't know if he can throw the deep ball.

Is Tevaris Jackson still available? What about Jamarcus Russell?
