Tough going today...

Game MVP to Taysom Hill, IMHO. He sparked us with the blocked punt.

Defense still playing well.

Congrats Saints .... Division Champions!!!

We fought ourselves for this win. We don't suck!

A better team won’t be as forgiving as the Bucs. That was almost the Dallas game all over again.

I think the offense found its stones again in this one. Took a while, but they came to life when it mattered. Meanwhile our defense turns in yet another really good game. Last time we lost a game we ripped off 10 straight w's. All we need is 7 in a row this time and we're super bowl champs. First one down today, 6 to go.

This team showed heart.....sometimes it not pretty, but we really need another WR. Maybe BM will play next week. Also hoping TA comes back for the pec injury next week as well. All in all a win is a win and we are back to back NFC South Champs.....oh and Geaux Bears tonight lol

Hard to watch 1st half. Just plain terrible. But TAYSOM freakin HILL happened. Good thing we kept him, huh?

Special Teams played lights out...we actually got punt return yardage. It's that hidden yardage that gave us great field position all 2nd half. Defense is just playing great. Rankins & Cam are Man-imals. Pressure up the middle forced high & inaccurate throws.

Offense needs to start faster. With Armstead coming back, think this will right the ship.

Taysom Hill continues to be a "spark" for this team.

Saints defense continues to "shut out" offenses in 2nd half of games.

Saints really need Armstead and Ted Ginn Jr back ... badly.
