Tonight's game already has me stressed out! The Patriots are my number one team, but I love Drew!

Then it is a win-win! Or do you view it as a lose-lose? lol

[figurefan]

Woohoo! :cheer2: Wasn't able to watch the game but very relieved they won. Although it is a bit worrisome that they weren't able to put up some more points against the Browns, of all teams (especially considering Detroit ran all over them last week). I'm already biting my nails over the upcoming game against the Vikings in two weeks- probably doesn't help that my boyfriend, who's a big Favre fan, keeps reminding me about it! I can be a pretty sore loser, so it could get interesting. :lol:

Anyone else hear that Brady Quinn and Alicia Sacramone are dating??


I was able to see the game live and would have loved some more offensive fireworks from my Bengals but AFC North games are never pretty.

I'm nervous about the Vikes too but the beauty of the Bengals is they are known to pull out big wins against excellent teams. Hopefully your boyfriend will be the sore loser. I love Favre as well but he will be public enemy #1 when he plays the Bengals.

BTW, I just read about Brady and Alicia today.

WHO DAT!!!!!!!!!!

All I want for Christmas
Is Brady's two front teeth
Two front teeth
All I want for Christmas
Is Brady's two front teeth
So I can wish you Merry Saintsmas!!!

Mama Matryeshka predikkkkkt...there will be Yankee Pot Roast served up in the 'dome tonight! Aiiiiyeeeee!!!!!

11-0 baby!

I will say this for the Patriots--Tom Brady's ass :grope: will look mighty fine heading out the dome. :EVILLE:

WHO DAT!!!!!!

If the Saints lose, there will be rioting in the streets. My mom and I went to Wallyworld earlier to get appropriate pre-game snackage, and just about everyone was dressed head-to-toe in Saints gear. By contrast, we walked the dogs early tonight so we could watch in peace, and it is DEAD. The interstate and a major road is right by my parent's house, and it is a ghost town, save the odd pizza delivery truck.

[BigB08822]

WHO DAT?!?! Nice start, now keep it up!!!!!!

I said I wouldn't mind them losing because it could take off some pressure but why lose when you are playing this well? They are clearly playing to WIN and not not to lose. They haven't acted as if they have any pressure or anything to lose. I hope they keep this attitude up in the 2nd half, they have a lead but that is not a big lead against a team like the Patriots.

[Matryeshka]

I don't understand how the Saints can be so brilliant one minute and so damn dumb the next.

If the Patriots decide they'd like to be a competent team again, which it looks like they are, we're going to be in trouble in the fourth quarter.

[Vash01]

The Saints are for real. I did not believe it until tonight. They are blowing the Pats and Tom Brady out of the water. I have not seen the Patriots' secondary looking so clueless against any other team. Saints are scoring TDs at will, and their defense has no trouble stopping Brady. The Saints are looking like Superbowl champions right now- unbeatable.

[Matryeshka]

Well, the Patriots looked like they might have had a chance for a hot minute in the third quarter, but they squandered that. WTF is up with Tom Brady? Why can't he throw? The last quarter was DULL.

I hesitate, Vash01, to say that they're unbeatable--they haven't been perfect. In fact, the Saints had some pretty boneheaded moves, but the Patriots couldn't translate that into making it an actual game. That does not necessarily bode well for either team.

But I do think that the most likely team the Saints would lose to is the Falcons, cause that's personal. :lol: I hope it will be down with the dirrrrrty birds, but I wouldn't be absolutely shocked if they lost.

The Saints are looking like Superbowl champions right now- unbeatable.
Ooh, if only Sugar would have been the one to make that proclamation! Jinx! Goooo Colts! :P

No, really, New Orleans deserves to be defacto #1 for now. And with their laughable December schedule, they really could go 16-0. (*Yay, vBet!*) The Falcons aren't healthy yet and the Cowgirls and December don't get along at all! :lol: The other teams are jokes to say the least.

I say "for now", because things can change in an instance. Injuries are the biggest thing. That Indy has scraped to 11-0 with a dozen key players sitting out each week is :huh: and testament to Manning. But I digress ...

:kickass: Saints! Please DO keep it going, please do pummel the Cowboys in a couple of weeks and again in the playoffs if needed, and please do put an end to Father Time's fun with the Vikings. ("That" would/will be a tough game.)

I think a Saints-Colts Super Bowl would be A-wesome! :cheer2:

Great win for the Saints last night!!! Everyone here at work today is walking around with a big grin on their face!

Anything can happen on a given Sunday but as long as Drew Brees stays healthy, I really think they have a great shot at ending the regular season at 16-0. And with the Vikings only having one loss, you know that Coach Payton will keep things going really hard at practice as having home field advantage is the key to getting to the Superbowl, this teams no. one objective.

One thing I do want from Payton is for him to please, please release John Carney. That guy is a mess on his field goals and extra points right now and there is no reason not to go with Garrett Hartley. Be interesting to see if he pulls the plug this week.

[BigB08822]

Yeah the kicker was scary last night. He only missed one but the ones he did make were close, with the exception of one nice kick that I remember. Those points easily lose you games, or win them.

[HeatherC]

I think a Saints-Bengals Super Bowl would be A-wesome! :cheer2:

Fixed that for you. ;)

It would be Who Dey! vs. Who Dat! which is confusing but also fun even though the second one copied from the first one, LOL :P :lol: :cheer2:

[Debbie S]

The Ravens beat the Steelers last night in overtime!!! What a nailbiter that was...a win is a win. :)True, but we might have won it in regulation if we still had Matt Stover. Getting rid of Stover has proved to be the worst decision in (admittedly short) franchise history. :mad:

Congrats to the Saints on their victory last night! They do look like a Super Bowl caliber team. :)

[BigB08822]

The Saints do it again. INCREDIBLE!! 12-0!

[jeffisjeff]

What a comeback! Too bad that (around here anyway) Fox had to go to their 2nd game, so I didn't get to see them tie it up and then get the win! I hate hate hate it when they do that. :mad:
