Houston Texan's Cinderella season

[dimbee]

There's a new "Who Dat" team, and it's the Texans. ;)

Meh.

The Texans have been the flavor du jour for the last several seasons and are only benefiting from Manning being out.

Sure, they're a talented team but it's not like they're a cinderella out of nowhere this season.

I think they're a good team. They should be able to stroll into the playoffs in that division but I'm not sure they match up too well against the best of the afc.

trap game

If the Saints share this same sort of attitude, they are in big trouble, and this will become a trap game for them.

You're talking about a team that is extremely hungry too in the Texans. Hungry to prove themselves and get some fame for a change. Since they've been in the league, they've been mediocre at best, and horrific at worst.

Good luck with that. I can't remember the last time a team walked into the Dome and 'punched the Saints in the mouth'. It's one of the toughest places to play in the league.

You Saint's fans have such short memories and such great fantasies. You win a Super Bowl and now the Superdome is this "impenetrable fortress". :lol:

Let me refresh your memory.

Why, just last year... week 7... Cleveland.... as in the Cleveland Browns. The brown toilet bombers... punched you guys in the mouth.

Cleveland 30.... Saints 17.

Drew Brees final numbers 37 for 56, 356 yrd, 2 TDs, 4 INTs.

This was less than a year ago.

By the way, the Browns finished 2010 with a 5-11 record. Suffice to say, the Superdome does not offer the Saints some sort of magical protection from getting beat... even by really crappy teams.
