Uh, that hasn't been my feeling, so I looked it up. The Saints are 14-10 in games that I called "shootouts" (which included "blowouts") over the last 3 years. Maybe you disagree with my definition of shootout - I basically used high-scoring games in which one or both sides moved the ball essentially at will.

"Shootouts" probably allow the Brooks and the rest of the offense to get hot...and get a rhythm. We've seen it happen too many times. Still....i want to see more RUNNING THIS YEAR!! RUN RUN RUN!!! DAMMIT!!.. First 2 preseason games were a positive step in this direction..

3RD AND 3???? WHO YA GONNA CALL???? Not Ghostbusters.....but rather...a A DELAY HANDOFF TO ANTOWAIN OR AARON STECKER!!!

Bleed the clock, baby...bleed the clock.
