We don't need any help whatsoever. All we need is to win!

The Jets aren't as bad as their record says it is.

We are in the driver's seat for the division.

Although not a thing of beauty, we'll take this win.

Well done.

Thank god we're not 7 - 9 like last year.

I'm 100% sure we'll need to beat the Bucs in week 17 just to make the playoffs.

Ain't that the truth. It has almost never worked out for the Saints on relying on other teams. Pretty much count on it not working out. It has never worked out that I know of to be honest.

1. yeah, have to say D won this game with the turnovers. We do that in playoffs its one and done. A good team would have put 14 on the board, but the D saved the day vs a shaky Jets offense.

2. Some seem to think Kamara should never be tackled or a Sanders. Thought later might prove true later, even sanders got stuffed most of the time, and was horrible in playoff games, oh wait that was walter P.

3. #$%#^#^&#% Coleman needs to be consistent game to game or....

4.*It was obvious we were the better team today, but stalled and kept them in the game.

5. If I had the money Id buy the Panthers, change their name to the Munchkin and colors to yellow and grey, same used kitty litter. Make players wear collars with bells and owning tags. Pay Cam 100 million a year to stay but he must play with a cape, and draft high school talent with million dollar contracts.
Not that I spent any time thinking about this.

That has to change.

.

This
Thomas was clutch
Jets keyed in on screens

Defensive outside containment was terrible

Way to many penalties.

We still haven’t played our best football. Atlanta is going to get CRUSHED.

Jets WERE a good team that just didn’t. Have the ball bounce their way. They lost their top defensive lineman and QB We just almost lost to a very bad team. We would have lost that game if it weren’t for injuries.

Yes, if Warford and Peat were healthy we would have had a much better run game, I agree. Would have been more lopsided W.

	Saints proved that pigs could fly in 2009. Now its time for another miracle SuperBowl and go where no pig has gone before.
