Whats going on in the NFL this year? Can't count on much. Giants crush Redskins; Redskins beat Broncos; Broncos smash Giants. Enough to drive a bookie nuts! I suppose next the New Orleans ain'ts will go undefeated. -- lancer
Well I agree on Zorn and the guts but the team has lost its spark. I am still not sold on Campbell with those interceptions and the poor game ending throw. Of course the Zebras totally missed a roughing call on that play which they would have called for Bradley but such is life. I would like to route now for loses to improve the draft but I am afraid that would be an excuse to dismiss Zorn.I must apologize to the Redskins. I have revised my opinion and no longer feel that they are the worst Redskin team I have seen in 43 years. This current team has shown a lot of fight and guts over the last few games. They haven't got the hang of winning the close games against the Cowboys and Eagles but they sure didn't roll over and die as they might have. This team has had ruinous injuries and has never really got going. I do believe that Zorn should be allowed to continue. ...-- lancer

The ain'ts are going ok hey mate,great game i sense not many people on here like them very much.......................
Brees is a great quarterback but I think that assessment is a wee bit harsh George. From the game I saw, he generally made his releases in 3 seconds or so and they used a moving pocket or roll outs when he needed more time. Conversely Brady had 6 or more seconds on several occassions and still mostly couldn't make the plays against a patched together secondary that has hardly played together. It wasn't a question of having to cover a guy so long but rather that Brees was throwing bullets and the Patriots secondary was at times completely out of sync. Without a few Saint rookie mistakes the score could have been 48 to 10. It was a fun game to watch if you are not a Pats fan and demonstrated that there is no doubt the Saints are for real. Next weeks game against the Skins could be very embarassing. Frankly though, if the Saints play like that, I may enjoy it anyway just to see the offensive magic this team has.Brees is a great quarterback, but my local high school QB can make completions when he has an a hour and a half to sit in the pocket and wait for recievers to get open, you can't cover a guy all day long and the Patriots have zero pass rush, which is why they gagged away that Dolts game earlier this year, they put zero pressure on Manning and he picked them apart................
It is probably not a matter of the Saints being disliked. More a matter of a team that has a LONG history of mediocrity suddenly winning in a big way and not having many believers on board yet. Also, this forum has so many members, located all over, that most of the posters are not fans of the Saints but of their own local team. The Saints sure looked good against the Patriots. My overall impression was of great speed. They did what they wanted, when they wanted, and at a very rapid pace. I fear they will slaughter my Redskins this week. At any rate, the Saints sure are playing like this is their year. -- lancerThe ain'ts are going ok hey mate,great game i sense not many people on here like them very much.......................

Pretty interesting, thanks Mike. That pretty much looks like how he was throwing last night.Watch this video link and you will see why Brees dismantled the Pat's secondary and all the others he has faced this year.
