WHO DAT!?

lol @ Dallas losing two straight.

Washington is 4-9, 4-10 after tonight. Last time I checked, 4-10 doesn't make you a good football team. Solid defense, but not good enough to shut down the Dallas Cowboys offense. Philly is always a major concern, but Dallas will certainly beat Washington, to move to 10-5.

They've already held dallas to 7 points in a game this season, on the road in Dallas. So it's safe to say they're good enough to shut down the Cowboys offense.

I predicted a dallas win too (which caused one of the biggest arguments my living room has ever seen and led to me having to go sleep at my moms), We def haven't been playing to our potential these last few weeks and it was bound to come sooner or later, Glad someone made something out of it but don't count us out because of one game, If/when we get a few of the pieces were are missing from our d back we will be right back at SB form and Im willing to make that month long ban bet that the saints go further in the playoffs than the 'boys or the cards or just about anyone else you wanna put up (minus indy)...

The point is that in the grand scheme of things this win isn't going to mean much unless it catapults the Cowboys to the Super Bowl. If they build on this win and run the table from here on out then you can point to this win as the slingshot that took them over the hump.

But, chances are they won't win the Super Bowl and will be sitting at home watching the Super Bowl so in the end this win will never be remembered and therefore irrelevant.

True no one remembers who beat the 13-0 Colts or the 13-0 Chiefs.

That was then.....

This is the new Dallas Cowboys, the team riding high off that win against New Orleans. Washington will be lucky to stay within 10 points.

BOOOOOOOOM!

Just heard on the radio that Wade, after the game in the locker room, stood in the middle of the room and yelled:

"Who Dat? Who Dat? Who dat say gonna beat dem Saints?!"

In which the players replied

I'll bet you $20 that the Redskins stay within 10.

That's actually pretty awesome.

Maybe, just maybe, Wade is on to something at last.

You are so fickle it's hilarious. You flip flop more than anyone I can remember. Cowboys lose and you say, "i just can't have any faith in this team or coaching staff anymore," Cowboys win the next week and you're a believer again.

 

[Derrville]

ESPN is reporting that we released Folk and Signed Suisham. Who was cut for his misses just a couple of weeks ago.

EDIT: Whoa hes only missed 3 kicks all year though.

kickers are 100% mental. change of scenery is all a kicker needs to get back on track sometimes.

lol you're taking it to extremes.

I've been aprehensive about the coaching staff for the past two years. Still am.

The way the last two seasons have ended, who wouldn't be concerned?

Such is the nature of being a fan. You want to call it being fickle, be my guest and keep on prodding.

Was hoping we could shelve him.

He had hip surgery in the offseason and I think that played a role. Still think he'll be a good kicker. He had ice water in his veins the first two years.

edit to your edit: That's also another thing. People didn't realize Suisham was on our roster first a few years back. The Redskins made a scapegoat out of him but he's been servicable over the last couple of years. Obviously far more reliable than Folk at this point in time.

Yea ive been saying that the whole time hes been in this slump. That hip surgery had to have messed with him some how. Maybe we can finish the season with Suisham and bring Folk back in Training Camp. See if hes gotten better and go from there.

Nuk, you're awesome for this. Like, I wanted the Saints to win, but I don't care that much, especially if they win-out. Anywho, I hope you enjoy that vacation.

This reminds me of what I said after the Pats lost the Super Bowl: I'm glad I'm not a Patriots fan. I've got a lot of love for the Saints, because my mom's fam is from the NO, but still, I don't care.

And I'm glad I don't care. I'd be really upset if I did. HAHA, maybe it's because the Raiders won, and with Russell at the helm (later on), too.

Still though, the opening post to this thread was one of the greatest things I've ever read on this site...

drew brees' press conference post game was a bit disturbing. he said the team desvred to be undefeated. odd, i was sure you had to earn wins in the NFL.

Nope, they seriously thought that. They were throwing out so many garbage justifications for the luck they've gotten, it's ridiculous.

"I can see the ghost of (former owner) Mike D. dancing on Bourbon Street right now, there's something in the air"

"You look at how we've found a way to win some of these games, and you have to feel like something is in the air"

"This is a team of destiny"

"We deserve it, all this town and this team has been through, you can't help but think this is our time"

There was even a call in show that had this as the question of the day: "We already know the Saints will be undefeated in Miami, the question is, are you cheering for the Colts to be undefeated as well when we meet?"

I shit you not, this was the ongoing topic of a radio show that I had to endure for three hours of my drive home for the holidays. There is no fanbase more stupid and delusional than that of Louisiana. The same morons who ruin LSU games ruin the NFL for me every fall. Buncha dumb ass fairweathers.

I will admit that I was tempted to take a shot every time Katrina was mentioned, but I decided against it since I wanted to be sober by the end of the game.

It really is hard for me to be so hateful of this team, because my dad's from Baton Rouge, and is a fan of the team. He even raised me to be one. Truth be told, I was at one point a Saints supporter.

But there comes a point when I have to cheer against a team solely because of proximity to their dumb ass fanbase.

I am starting to see why most SEC fans hate Louisianans. As fun as a place as it is to get drunk and eat good food, the football talk can get a little moronic at times.

I one time heard a guy at work tell me with a straight face that Drew Brees was the best QB in the NFL. I then laughed and ran and told another guy, who promptly looked at me like I had 8 heads for not agreeing with the first guy.

If the most dominant team in NFL history lost one game, surely it isn't too much of a stretch to predict the 2009 New Orleans Saints would lose a game either? Or are you surprised the Saints lost a game?

hmmm... a team (saints) that is winning games by luck being compared to a team (da bearz) that crushed people until they played miami and then continued to rape all the way to a super bowl win...

oh man, you're right, that was a good call... :smh:

You act like the Saints are the only team in the world that has a portion of the fan base that says crazy stuff and attracts some fairweather fans, when they have the second best record in the NFL.

I admit, some of the stuff people say is crazy. But these fans have sat through (and supported) a team that is about to make only its seventh playoff appearance in 42 years. People are gonna act a little strange when that happens.
