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.

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
