You get an honorable mention for the honorable mention and exhibition of character.

I'll be here for everyone when Brees is gone and we start to remember what it was like to be a Saints fan before 2006. Brees has been a Saint for 14 years and for the last 10 years of that his name is mentioned consistently with only 2-3 others and one could argue top 10 in the history of the league...

Some times we do not want to know what we know because of what is implied after it is over... 'maybe she isn't that into you, she's just horny'

Human nature can be difficult to understand at times, even our own. Does Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill have the fans they do because they are that appealing or is it a hope that they end up being able to fill Drew's shoes? Both look the same, very different drivers.

Back to Ryan Ramczyk who'd shut down J.J. Watt in Week One...

Romo mentioned it ...

At RT, Ryan is as close to elite as you can get.

Bet Romo wishes he had a Ryan Ramczyk protecting him...

One thing not mentioned... the D against the run was lights out!

I had several posts about how bad our run D looked to start the year... man did they look solid today. Going to need that against the cowboys.

I am honestly surprised at all of the negative talk. Crapping on Teddy or one defensive player or another. Before the season started, looking at the schedule I would not have been surprised to have seen this game as a loss even with Drew as the starter. Seattle is not an easy team, Wilson is an elite QB, and they have a very good defense and yet we handled them, and it only ended somewhat close due to garbage time. To listen to a lot of these posts you'd think we lost. How many points do you need to win by to be happy? Do we have to complete every pass? Defend every pass? Was Seattle supposed to have zero yards, zero points, and we score on every play? I'm disgusted. After the Kamara screen pass Teddy settled in and looked like a good starting QB and the defense did it's job when needed to. Sorry if this wasn't a 60-0 win with a second string QB to make ya'll happy.

FYI, in 2010 moments after winning SuperBowl 44, there were people complaining that we didn't score enough points in the game and complained that we didn't throw the ball enough.... after winning the SuperBowl. Just sayin'.

How many passes did Bridgewater attempt, complete downfield? If I'm disappointed, it's because we got an amazing defensive, kicking game, and the offensive line effort and in got check-downs all game...

Lotta meat left on the bone today. And that defense was in the bottom half of the league after facing such juggernauts as CIN and a PIT team without Roethlisberger for more than half the game...

We've learned nothing from the NFC CG loss if when teams start to collapse, we've got to make the kill-shots, keep the foot on the gas, with the last foot boarding the plane is the one coming off their throat...

We've learned nothing from the NFC CG loss if when teams start to collapse, we've got to put them away, keep the foot on the gas, and the last foot that boards the plane is the one coming off their collective throat...

So what is an acceptable ending score? A 2 score win, after garbage time, in one of the hardest places to win on the road isn't good enough, what will make you happy?
