Sh!
Quiet!
Don’t tell anybody, but the Saints moved to 7-3 with a workmanlike win over the Seattle Seahawks in the dome.
Each team scored 5 times.
The difference?
The Saints scored 5 touchdowns and the Seahawks only 1, adding 4 field goals as the depleted Saints’ defense did a little bending in the 34-19 victory. Short of safeties this time with both Malcolm Jenkins and Darren Sharper, as well as rookie cornerback Patrick Robinson on the injury shelf, the defense continues to play exceptionally well.
Meanwhile, it doesn’t look like the Saints themselves will be adding any field goals anytime soon as Garrett Hartley is hooking his tea shots into the woods on every drive. He’s yanking it so badly, his extra points are barely sneaking through. His Atlanta miss still haunts the season. There’ll be a whole lotta finger crossing going on if he’s called on to win a game for the Saints.
With Reggie Bush a probable return in time for the Thanksgiving Day matchup with Dallas, it’s unfortunate that the Cowboys are turning professional at just the wrong time.
Jerry Jones finally got the memo on Bum Jr., the Vikings have jettisoned Childress for the Favre/Moss debacle of a season, and only Norv Turner of the Inadequates maintains his job.
