Brees will feel he has something to prove in a big way after the last game, and we've had a couple of extra days to prepare so should be ready to go. finish strong

soadtool · 10-12-2012 5:51am

i say for next season they should turn mr benson upside down, shake some money out of him and we should draft some decent defensive players..
let's start with manti te'o (wishful thinking) :rolleyes:

redsky7 · 16-12-2012 10:10pm

nice shut out there and good to see breesus back to his usual accurate self. great win, hopefully we'll finish strong against the cowboys and panthers

soadtool · 07-10-2013 5:04am

woodchopper · 10-10-2013 12:01am

If you having nothing to contribute to this thread then why bother post?

Putin · 16-01-2014 10:40pm

I finally find there's a Saints thread and where are all the fans?????:(
I see the Seahawks said Graham is the softest player in the NFL. And looking at his non-performance against them in Seattle, it's hard to argue with them. It reminded me of when he was man marked by Talib earlier in the season. He stuck on him and kept in his face and our boy couldn't hack it. I don't think he had 1 reception in that game either. He did plenty of mouthing off during the warm ups I believe, but couldn't follow it up in the game. He need's to seriously toughen up for next season and stop disappearing when we really need him.

Putin · 18-01-2014 11:04am

The biggest plus of the season I think, has been the way Rob Ryan has turned defense around. And it can only get better next year.

Putin · 23-01-2014 1:02am

Well I guess I am the only Saints fan in the forum then.:(

Joseph291987 · 06-02-2014 6:36am

you are not alone Ive recently started following the Saints!

Putin · 18-03-2014 8:00pm

Sad that we lost Sproles, I would have loved to have kept him.

Putin · 24-04-2014 6:54pm

Putin · 16-09-2014 10:37pm

Ah well there's probably no point in posting in my team thread since it's virtually dead.

But did I expect us to be 0-2? Feck no and we need the win this week to kick start the season.

Putin · 08-10-2014 2:10pm

Well it looks like the other three Saints fan in this thread won't be turning up for the season.

Tristram · 08-10-2014 2:11pm

Be strong Putin!

poldebruin · 08-10-2014 2:28pm

Hang in there Putin. If you post it, they will come.
I can try and discuss the Saints with you if you like!

Psydeshow · 08-10-2014 2:37pm

For what it's worth I'm a tentative saints fan... Spent some time in Louisiana last year so decided I'd jump on the Saints preseason hype, didn't realise it would be stopping quite so soon. But I suppose it's more rewarding that way...?

Tis only my first season following nfl so you'll not get intelligent or particularly cogent conversation out of me (you wouldn't at the best of times in fairness). Been hoping a few others would post here so I could lurk about and pick it up. In the absence of that, I give you moral support that someone else is out there at least. You are not shouting 'Who Dat' into the void!

Speak for yourself. This is a forum with some very good posters & regulars. Nothing at all like the ongoing stupidity and trolling that you get in the Soccer forum.

My bad! I was referring to my own tendency away from intelligent and cogent conversation, not the AF forums', give me a bit of time to make up my mind on that. Fun times with bad grammar.

I was thrown off by poldebruin's post earlier not yours.

Putin · 20-10-2014 3:45am

Back from the bye week and another loss. We're now 2-4, playing GB next and that will probably be another loss

. Season will be more or less done if that happens. We had the game today in the bag, all Drew had to do was maintain ball security and he goes and throws a fecking Int.:mad:

What has been happening to ye this year? I think everyone expected ye to be one of the top NFC teams (7 people had ye going to the Super Bowl in the predictions thread) How has the defense taken such a marked step back ?

It's a combination of things. The cause of yesterday's disastrous loss was two things. Absolutely atrocious defense that gave up a very, very soft TD. And shocking paly calling and A mini-meltdown by Brees near the end of the game, that cost us the game. And surprise, surprise, last but not least. The officiating was a joke. So even without Brees throwing a bad Int at a bad moment in the game, poor officiating cost us the game. Some had us down as going to the Super bowl but as usual, some people where losing the run of themselves. Now I was expecting a Playoff run, but not this disaster. The team can't finish teams off and as we all know, until this team can win on the road, they aren't going anywhere.

We really needed to beat the Packers and thank feck we did.

It was an encouraging result and defense finally stepped up. At long last Cooks was used as a deep threat. The only one who had caught a deep ball all year was Kenny Stills. This division is wide open now and visiting Carolina in a short week will be a tough ask as they will look to bounce back. Need to avoid cheap turnovers to win this game.

Our red zone defense was particularly good. Now all we need is for this team to learn to win on the road.

It will be a late night for me trying to catch this game. Thankfully the hour going back means it starts at 12.25 as opposed to 1.25. Will stay up until half time anyway. Effectively this game blows the NFC South wide open. Win this game and with 5 home games left on schedule we could be looking at a 10 - 6 record which was incomprehensible a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully Ingram can take off where he left off last week and open up the play action for Brees. Saints by 7.

Putin · 31-10-2014 5:46pm

Finally a road win and now to win all the home games and we're looking good.:cool:

Psydeshow · 18-11-2014 3:09pm

I tell ya following this team has been an emotional decision! Going in to the season with big talk, we get a disappointing start to the season. They get some momentum going, clamber to the top of the dung heap, finally win one on the road, and then go and loose two in a row at home...

It's made it interesting at any rate.

It's been an emotional rollercoaster alright. Totally ball busting to see us lose home games we should have won. Safe to park this season away and wait for 2015 with anticipation imo.

Putin · 08-12-2014 9:37pm

Losing to the Panthers the way we did, is the final straw for me this season. Pathetic stuff.

Putin · 13-03-2015 4:13pm

I can understand the need to free up the money and sort out our cap issues. But I'm not at all happy about trading Graham. He's an offensive weapon we won't be able to replace.:(

Rossie11 · 14-03-2015 6:11pm

Stills gone with Spiller in.
Looks like we are gonna go from pass happy to run run run.
Wonder has Payton realised that he needs to take some of the pressure off Bree's as at times last year he was guilty of woeful turnovers.
On a somewhat plus side they will 5 of the first 80 picks in the draft.
Putin any idea who they will target? I haven't followed the college scene so don't know what sort of talent is there this year.

With the crazy way this FA period has gone, I've no idea. But one thing is certain, there is major retooling going on right now and I think we could get some good work done in the draft to compliment it. I just would have preferred if we didn't let Graham going while doing it.

Putin · 03-05-2015 2:57pm

Happy that we restocked our defense with some good picks and apart from wasting two high value picks on a QB & OT, I thought that was solid enough draft.

Putin · 07-06-2015 3:57pm

Delighted that we landed Brandon Browner from the Pats. He might give up a lot of penalties but I think he's exactly what we need in our secondary.

Putin · 15-09-2015 6:58pm

So our great road form continues :rolleyes:.

No surprise that Drew really missed Graham against the Falcons and I still can't believe the gob****es let him go.:(
