Enough Gloating. Bucs Next

You can twist it any which way you like sweet cheeks, the fact of the matter is that Sean Payton is 6-6 in his career versus Tampa Bay. Whether it's one point for 50 points, a win is a win a loss counts as a loss. I'm certainly not overestimating the Bucs. We are a better team... and we should win. With that said, I'm not completely oblivious to the fact that have plenty of talent on that team and anything can happen any given Sunday.

It's okay to be old and naive.

One game at a time. Focus on Tampa.

Add that AF is a divisional game as well.
Still, the game got really close at some points where the Saints could have lost it. The dramatic ending was nice, exciting all because the Saints won and that ending was a game deciding ending.
If the Saints had lost , if the Fals had caught that endzone ball, the SD would have been like that year in the early 1980s's when the Saints won the game against L.A. Rams, so we all thought. When the the noise level was deafening and then in the last moment, some kind of way the L.A. Rams won. game over. Dead silence.

I think the Saints really have a lot of reviewing to tighten up some loose ends to be ready for Tampa Bay Bucks.

I heard Payton say that the Dome was not especially loud for this game. I was kind of shocked by that.

The matchup problem...the heat.

It's Hot. It's Africa hot. Tarzan couldn't take this kind of heat.

... I typically gloat (or cry) through Tues late morning/early afternoon before I start looking at the next week's games. Tampa Bay is in disarray. I know you can never totally count out an NFL team, but this one is the Saints' to lose ... just don't see the Bucs mounting any type of game until they get their heads on straight.

The heat will be a factor and TB likes to force us to wear black jerseys when we play them at home early in the season.

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but isn't most of Saints training camp held outdoors? I've never been to Tampa, but I've been to New Orleans in the summer. If they can practice in that heat, then Tampa should be second nature. The black jerseys I'll give you, but I don't think the heat is going to be that much of a difference. Especially since they are only a couple of weeks out of camp.
