Predictable

You could see that coming a mile away.

A letdown following a big win, a lot of media distraction, accolades going to your head, up against a legendary coach ready to provide a blueprint on how to defense a high scoring offense.

 

Yet, despite all that the Saints put themselves in a position to win and almost pulled it off.

So, they played a bad game but I see a lot of positives:

• Gave up a lot of yards but only 16 points
• Colston is back
• A great defensive design by the Redskins that will undoubtedly be copied, but that the Saints will now have a chance to dissect.
• Still kept the game close and could have pulled it off.
• We won the division!!!

However, that doesn't mean we need to see it again this week.  We need to see a strong finish in the last 2 games as we ramp up for the playoffs.

 

Speaking of which:

 

This Sunday we will have an open house from about Noon til 5, including the Saints viewing.  Rick & Liz will provide a wild array of snacks and foods.  Please stop by.

A regular Christmas Eve extravaganza, and maybe our last viewing party, depending on what transpires in the playoffs.  (I'll be at any home games and the Super Bowl when the Saints play.)
