Brees' Downfield Passing vs Seattle Pass Defense

Halo · 11-25-2013, 07:02 PM

It comes down to 2 factors:

1) enough time to pass
2) Saints WR's NOT dropping the ball.

The muffs, flubbs, blunders, drops etc. must end or making it to the playoffs is only an extra couple games.

and thats assuming we have any kind of playoff seed. First we have to beat Seattle
and Carolina twice. Then, I'll put on my Division crown.

Im seeing an inordinate amount of cockiness on the board lately, which I think
is really whistling in the graveyard. This is America, so guys, feel free to talk chit, and then have to eat it tuesday morning, (or dec 9 or dec 23) in the event our crowns are premature. I wont stop you.

But I see a very tough series of tests for us, with possibly the best team in the League next week. Not only do I like to be realistic, but if we do happen to light up the rest of this schedule, I think we should truly appreciate the magnitude of this team's accomplishment. Think of the night we beat the Patriots 40 something to 17, and kept our streak. You didnt KNOW we could
really be them. It was amazing when we did, and the uncertainty made it much better.

I like being loud and proud, and raising hell in the Dome. But humility serves us well also.

Yeah, we could lose. Bummer
But we could just as likely stomp their ass. Not a bummer.

I'll go with stomping that ass.

If we lose it doesn't matter if we were cocky or humble, it hurts just the same.

But if we win it just feels a little better that we were cocky (or confident) about it.

Im confident, but Im also real.
And I dont see any purpose in being a jerk to other teams fans
who visit us.
Normally, people applaud us for our coolness. Think SloMotion.
thats all.
