Don’t look now, but the New Orleans Saints are one of 6 teams with 6 victories in the National Parity League. The Steelers could become the 7th with a victory over the CincyBungles Monday Night. The Saints defense continued their stellar play, shutting down Carolina’s hapless offense. The Saints have only given up 3 touchdowns in the last 3 games, and only 12 through 9 games.
Check it out:
Vikings offense – 1 TD
49’ers offense - 3 TD
Falcon’s offense – 3 TD
Panther’s offense – 2 TD
Cardinal’s offense – 0 TD
Buc’s offense – 1 TD
Brown’s offense – 1 TD
Steeler’s offense – 1 TD
Panther’s offense – 0 TD
Jabari Greer even pitched in with the first defensive touchdown of the year on a interception return.
The Saints have moved right back under the radar, as the media focuses on the Rolling Moss gathering a team, and various diva quarterbacks and wide receivers, as well as the disaster in Dallas.
Meanwhile the Baltimore Ravens look like they hold the key to the division as they host the Falcons Thursday night and the Saints in December.
With a perfectly timed bye week, the Saints can look forward to Reggie Bush’s return against the Seahawks on Nov 21. If the Saints can get Pierre Thomas of the mysterious ankle injury back as well, the Saints have every opportunity to get on a roll for the 2nd half. One of the most impressive things about the team is that they have become a plug and play team. Their depth of players who are good enough and know their exact assignment is impressive.
In 2009 the Saints won with their offense. This is the Year of the Defense. Wouldn’t it be cool if the D carried the Saints to another Super Bowl? It would be Way Cool.
