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.

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.

      there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.
