I thought it was a huge game. I admit I was worried.
The Saints stole the Superdome matchup with Tampa and did not sufficiently pressure a QB in his first NFL start. In the Tampa rematch, they ratched up the pressure on defense and watched the offense start and finish with precision.
While I don't know how anyone but Peyton could be the NFL MVP - (who does more for his team?) - Drew Brees continues to thrust himself into contention. Short and efficient or long and accurate - he's made more difference on this team than anyone but Sean Payton could have imagined.
Wouldn't you have loved to be in the film room with Payton as he analyzed the now-departed Saints and decided to say goodbye to the underachievers?
As Chicago begins to reveal its deficiencies, this week's test with the New York Giants will tell us who the Saints main NFC competition for the Super Bowl will be.
Be sure to attend our viewing Sunday when:
a. The Saints march into my old home town and try to put their foot on the neck of the struggling Steelers.
b. Bob Richards brings Gumbo and Sausage Bread to the party.
Remember - this game has been moved to 3:15 PM - so, we'll look to begin around 3.
If you didn't show this past Sunday, you missed quite a day. Almost 30 people came and went throughout the day, devouring about 28 pounds of shrimp. The late group was almost 20 relief workers from Nashville that seemed to enjoy the jumbo shrimp as if they were lobsters. It was a pleasure and an honor to have them in our house. Special thanks to them for their efforts on our coast.
Thanks to Donnie Daquin for the wine, Becky Rutlede for desserts, Laurie & Charlie Howorth for co-hosting their group, and everyone who came by. And thanks to Liz for enduring all this....it was a memorable day.
See you Sunday.
