I'll be back next week to offer my semi-educated opinion(s)...

Congratulations, saintfan!

The win was impressive in that we had so many starters out. The Saints are still one of the most talented teams in the entire NFL. I heard yesterday that the Saints have the second easiest remaining schedule behind the Cowboys. For what that's worth, anyway.

I didn't get to watch the game yesterday, but I'm still waiting for Brees to have one of his usual breakout games (350+ yards, 4+ TD's) to quiet the doubters. Not that stats are everything - winning is #1 - but seeing Brees curbstomp the opponent often gives us the momentum that the rest of the team feeds off of for weeks to come. Hopefully it's coming.

I'm happy for the win, but don't forget it was only six points at the end. Once again the defense let the other team climb back into it. I mean, we're not at Failclowns level, but I'd like to see some wider margins.

Serve me up with a plate of crow because now I see a guy getting open, making tough catches in traffic and winning a high percentage of his one on one match ups.

Congrats to Smith on the WIN & another solid performance.

Keep grinding.

I'm not a fan but when I was a loss was always counted the same and a win was too. So a win is a win. Saints fans should view it that way, IMHO

the Saints are a 500 ball club. No more, no less. May change in the future, but right now that is all you are. And you're in second place in the south

He could have this week, but they completely took the foot off the gas once they got the big lead. They had 39 rushing attempts (not counting three Brees kneel downs).

Personally, I would rather see 250, 2TD’s and 0 int’s all season long, as long as the running game is jamming. I’m good with ball control and keeping our defense off the field as much as possible. I much prefer 40 minutes of the game to show offensive possession in the Saints favor.

I enjoyed the game of course but I think I would put myself squarely in that camp!

Who Dat!!! :bng: :broccoli:

The quality of opponent argument doesn’t hold water in my opinion. When you are down 6 pro bowl starters including the best receiver in the league, lose two more to injury during the game, and still have a pretty dominant showing it says a lot about your team.

Exactly!
