It's been 8 years. How long is Roger going to hold a grudge?

If he is anything like me, a really long time

If we make it to the Super Bowl vs the Patriots it will be a battle of blocked punts LOL

Kind of wish Brees could have gone 30 for 30. I reckon that'd feel like bowling a 300 game.

I never understood why they don’t line him up at TE/WR on a more permanent basis . They pretty much have him figured out when he runs but he catches everything thrown his way and then some. He is our answer to our WR “problem”.

Our WRs really stepped up even Ginn caught one, nice to see we are spreading the ball around. Maybe Brees is finally starting to trust these guys after missing 5 games and getting a late start on the season.

CGJ makes Bell expendable. He’s picking it up quickly without a lot of growing pains.

Our depth on the defensive line wasn’t just lip service.

I was right when I posted “Brees is done” earlier in the season but we just have to bump it up in a couple more years.

For the same reason the refs screw us. They dont want us to win.

XLIV CHAMPS

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Colts

1. Indy's O made our D look good. Jacoby Brissett barely completed 53% of his passes and they had a ton of drops.

2. We were stout against the run again. They didn't have a runner gain over 20 yards. However we had nowhere near the amount of pressure the DL has brought earlier in the season. The loss of Rankins and Davenport is really worrying me.

3. Jared Cook just looks like a big WR out there and not so much a TE. I see this as a good thing.

4. Really good hustle play by Washington getting a hand on that punt early in the game for a block.

5. #22 Looked really good defending the run. Stuck his head in there for a bunch of tackles.

6. Michael Thomas is something special. That one hand catch was great. He is now over 1500 yds for the season.

7. Taysom Hill looks really good at WR. We all knew he was a great athlete but his routes looks surprisingly good.

8. I love that a guy like Josh Hill got to catch the TD for the record. He is an "unsung hero". That was a beautiful play design too.

9. I'm kinda pissed we gave up that TD. Some really bad tackling on the play they scored on.

10. Shy Tuttle is becoming on of my favourite players on D. Got here as an UDFA and has done nothing but work his butt of. Always going full speed on the field. I Think he can become really really good.
