After that debacle in Seattle, I was wondering how it would have affected the psyche of this team. Tonight, that question was answered. They are definitely resilient. After a slow start, they Saints finally stepped up and punched the bully in the mouth. The Panthers' offense wasn't what I was afraid of, but it was more their front seven. The offensive line played their best game of the season. It was even better than the Cowboys game, because the Panthers are much stouter across the board defensively than the Cowboys. They were held in check, which allowed Drew to dissect that string cheese secondary. The Saints defensive line was phenomenal against a pretty darn good offensive line, as well. The pressure they applied was about as intense as I've seen it all year. Now we are close to having two players in double-digit sacks for the first time since 2004 (Charles Grant, Darren Howard). Everyone played their parts to the letter. Drew, Marques, and Jimmy may get the spotlight, but they definitely will be spreading some of that light to both sides of the line. They deserve it, because in my mind, they were the MVP's tonight.

People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.
