Saints NFL Records - 2011 Season of Record Breakers the Best Ever

Published on 2012-01-02 14:08:00

So that was the season that was. 16 and done with a bunch of team and personal records in the locker. What I love about it is the Madden like numbers that I used to post as a kid on a console now playing out in real life. I mean its just unbelievable right down to the last game of the regular season and the most offensive yards in a game in team history! Here let's hand it off to 4th back Chris > read more

Is Drew Brees God? Which Falcon Player Do You Hate The Most?

Published on 2011-12-20 18:15:00

Let me start by answering the latter question first. Is it Matt Ryan? Sure he's ugly as sin but hey so are most folk east of the Georgia line. Is it THE Tony Gonzalez? He of the trumped up self agrandized opinion whence he says his name in the starting Atlanta O players on TV? Nah he's OK, he at least is good, played most of his career at the worst team in League history and deserves some > read more

Published on 2011-12-06 04:03:00

It's primetime TV and the nation is tuning in to watch a game from the Super Dome (I'm not calling it that sponsored thing ever).

Why David Thomas' absence is going to hurt down the stretch

Published on 2011-11-26 10:32:00

A couple of years back, during our Super Bowl winning campaign, I used to flippantly joke that David Thomas was a future Hall of Famer. I did this from a sense of Saints luxury. Drew Brees seemed to have so many weapons at his disposal that anytime the ball made its way to Thomas I felt the guy needed an honorary beef up so marginalised was he from recognition. Well now that same sense of > read more

Let's Get Ready To Rumble/The Falcons Are Going Down

Published on 2011-11-11 12:29:00

So the time has come, it's finally down to the real business, it's finally THE FALCONS GAME. And what a game we have in store.

A Saints loss and we're in trouble with the remaining schedule plus it will SUCK big balls to lose to the Spandex wearers. So I have 5 tips to share with the team this > read more

Embarressing, shocking, sloppy - Saints O line finally found out

Published on 2011-10-30 17:37:00

Well what can I say about that? The Saints couldn't run the ball against the most porous run defense in the league (not that that's a surprise given how uterally useless we've been all season at opening holes) and now they can't pass protect. It all comes from up front and we were hopeless. It's one of the fundamentals of football. You run the ball to set up play action. We can't run the ball > read more

Why the Saints lost to the Bucs

Published on 2011-10-23 06:55:00

I've waited all week to watch this game. I am out of the country and had to wait until it became available online. I've just watched it and I am pissed. Why'd the Saints lose? Was it because of the turnovers? Sure it was a big factor but it's not the rotten apple at the core of the problem. Was it the needless penalties? Again they didn't help but they could have been over come. Was it Sean > read more

Saints Finally Bring Team A Game

Published on 2011-09-20 04:30:00

We've waited a while but finally the Saints brought their A game on all sides of the ball. We looked more hungry than the Bears overall in fact. On the D side we pursued harder, gang tackled, did an excellent job in man coverage (Jabari Greer outstanding!) and got penetration up front. 6 sacks was a telling end statistic. On the O side I thought the line did an incredible job of keeping the > read more
