The last time the Saints lost...

I'm still a bit skeptical of the Saints. Teams like them always tend to get tripped up when it matters. The "favorites" don't always make it to the Super Bowl in the NFC (08 Cardinals, 07 Giants, 03 Panthers)

They look pretty good, but I don't think they would be able to beat the big boys in the post-season. They played well against the Falcons, but Matt Ryan gave them that game. I remember a few years back when they had that magical run after Hurricane Katrina. They looked for real back then too, only to lose to almighty Rex Grossman and the Bears when it truly mattered.

The Saints are 1 of 7 teams to never play in the Super Bowl. I think it will stay that way going into 2010.

I remember the 2006 season when the Saints went to the playoffs and lost to Rex and the Bears, they also lost to the Panthers twice that season even though they were the better team. The Saints started the season off 3-0 until they played the Panthers and they lost their 1st game. Jake not only does good against the Saints, only losing to them twice while starting as the Panthers QB, but both the Panthers losses with Jake to the Saints it was by only 3 points. Jake's overall record against the Saints is 8-2, not shabby at all. Jake has never lost while playing in their house, which will be the case this Sunday. Whether Matt could do better than Jake this season as QB, I don't know, but against the Saints, especially in their house, I'm a 100% sure I'd go with Jake.

hmmmm, last week we broke the curse of the arizona cardinals and the interceptron... maybe we can break the curse of the undefeated saints this week and set the universe back in order :D

Using that logic, I think it bodes better for New Orleans.

We got beat by Arizona in our last game of the 2008 season, only to come back and beat them last week.

New Orleans got beat by us their last game of the 2008 season, and now perhaps come back to beat us?

;)

If we play like we did last week, I think we can hang with any team in this league. Well, provided Delhomme can at least complete some passes here and there.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
