You want to be viewed as the best you have to beat the best.

Remember in 2009, the knock against us in the first quarter of the season was we had only played rookie QB's, then we beat Tom Brady, Kurt Warner, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning.

To avoid a slow start, the mindset from the last 3-4 seaons has to change.

Not looking forward to seeing Cooks in week 2, the Patriots will feed him the ball heavily.

Couldn't agree more. He doesn't want to go out a loser and is clearly desperate. He starts off 0-4 again, look out!

With the lead up to the draft, the AP signing became, ironically, an afterthought...

I thought of this as I had responded to @MichaelFazende about his post on the opening day prior to AP signing his deal...

Twitter

Not that the Vikings fans still cling to the heresy that bountygate cost them something more that season...

But the signing of AP absolutely steals the thunder of opening week from the marquee games with the Saints rolling into Minny with AP in Black and Gold!!!

By the way, Michael Fazende is a real genuine good fan, insightful writer, and really thinks out of the box unlike some of the other talking heads...

Started following him on Eric Asher's show Inside New Orleans Sports...

Both are good guys and probably have more probing questions and discussions than most in NOLA media...
