Random Thoughts as I watched the Saints on Monday Night
Football.
Can’t believe all these pundits are picking the Saints to
win this game. I know none of them watch
the Saints, but surely they’ve heard how bad we are.
When Ray Lewis is the one talking sense on the panel, it’s
time to re-load your panel. Who’s
retiring this year?
Suzy Kolber has lightened her hair color.
I haven’t looked at www.kissingsuzykolber.com for a long time. Wonder if it’s still up.
The Saints will receive the kick. I think they know they will need all the possessions they can get.
So glad to see Joe Morgan on the field finally.
Not that I wanted to see Meachum get hurt, but let’s see what Morgan to do.
Wow, 2 big plays. Wonder how many targets he’ll get now. (Answer – he would ultimately get 13 snaps) Payton must be worried about his stamina. Why play someone who’s shown game breaking ability?
The Saints can’t run the ball at all, which will make for a long night.
First and goal from the 2 and we don’t score.
Well as I always say, if you can’t run it for a yard, you don’t deserve to win.
Thus – the last 2 weeks.
Normally I want us to run the ball, but this mismatch is rather obvious. We can’t.
But it is good to see Pierre Thomas breaking tackles. As bad as we tackle he must score on every play in practice.
Speaking of Pierre’s, I was really surprised to see Pierre Warren cut in training camp. He seemed to be a playmaker. And there he is making a takeaway.
The only thing Marcus Ball has taken so far is his salary, but he beat Warren out?
Speaking of questionable personnel decisions....
Wait, is that a Nick Toon sighting? By the end of the night he will make his 7th catch in 3 years. Quite a return for a 4th round pick. I think he has dropped that many passes as well. A wasted “bloodline” draft pick.
If that was a logical draft pick, based on his dad being Nick Toon, then someone needs to offer me a job as an electrical engineer.
I’ve missed two straight episodes of “The Good Wife” and maybe this is a good time to catch up.
Obama is about to grant a 3 year stay to 5 million immigrants. Surely, there’s one that can cover Steve Smith.
Sure am glad I don’t live in Baltimore right now. I’d have to take tomorrow off to hide.
Speaking of Obama, I wonder if he could pardon our defense.
Starting with David Hawthorne who drops an interception served up on a silver platter. I don’t care what anyone says, are Linebackers are AWOT. Absent without tackle.
Why does no one ever drop a potential Brees interception? They gobble them up and run them back like they haven’t eaten for a week.
Does anyone else notice that Brees keeps his helmet on after he throws an interception?
I’m really starting to like Taylor Swift
Texts are coming in from across the country. Rubbing it in. Haters gonna hate.
How many hours is it til we can eat turkey?
This Edibaldi guy really hustles. He seems to catch people from behind. Of course, he gets lots of opportunities to do that.
Has Rob Ryan ever blitzed just one person? Does he have to send everybody when he blitzes? Have we touched Flaco tonight?
Does anyone else see the similarities between Bill Cosby and Darren Sharper?
Other than the fact that either could start for our defense?
Wondering if I should give Homeland another try? Heard it’s getting better.

Brees finishes an amazing 35 for 45 with 420 yards and 3 TD’s,
with no running game support and no defense, but that one interception as he
was getting hit is what we will remember.
Wonder where we would be without him?
Wonder where we would be if we had the Raven’s defense. Wonder who wrote
the book of love.
Tomorrow everyone will be talking about all the teams in the
AFC North being 3 games over .500 and all of the NFC South being 3 games under
.500. Duh, they play each other. No one in our division matches up with that
big brawny division. Don’t get all
excited. They aren’t that good and we aren’t
that bad. For example, bet we’d match up
pretty well with Division I.
Whew, glad that homestand is over. Now we can get back on the road where we play
so well. Here’s reality – if we win out
against our division, I’m going to have to spring for playoff tickets. I’m going to have to think about that.
Oh well, there’s Turkey in my future. Lots of it.

Well said once again Rick! I gave up trying to answer the question from friends, "What's Wrong With The Saints"? The players from last year & the Free Agents (Maybe we should have got them for free also) are not plaing up to their past potential and none of the players are playing Team NFL Football! That is all I can come up with!
Yes, they still have a playoff shot, and all or any of those games will be away games. Holla if you need to sell yours, as I have die hard fans like you & me that will want them!
