Not to be a complete downer but this is reminding me of 2011. Great Saints team finishes with only three losses but has to play a first-round game because they wound up with the three seed instead of a 2. They win the first round game but then have to go on the road and play the best defense in the league (will be the Vikings). These top-notch defenses are always the Saints Achilles heel in the playoffs. I hope somehow that the Vikings falter and the Saints can grab the two seed. I think if that happens all bets are off but I don't want to play Minnesota in Minnesota.

IDk I feel we play way better on the road than on at home this year.

I was fussing with a fellow Saints fan between the worse DB in Saints history.

Dude said Jason David, I said Fred "falldown" Thomas
Fred Thomas was actually decent though. He just had a very unfortunate falloff in 2006 when the team finally got good and made the playoffs. During the Haslett years, he was pretty damn solid. He regressed like hell (prob just due to age and wear and tear) when Payton arrived though.

And on offense, Joe and Deuce had become :flabbynsick: by the time the Payton-Brees era began. :mjcry:

Just imagine, Joe and Deuce healthy, not worn down by age, and at the top of their respective games under Payton-Brees :wow:



These dudes are hilarious. The laugh in the background.

:mjlol: Rankins like, "Man, fukk all that extracurricular shyt. :camby: I just wanna :eat:."
