Another pre-season is in the books for the New Orleans Saints as they drop their final game to the Tennessee Titans 27-24, foregoing a late-game field goal attempt to send it into overtime.

The game was sloppy, as expected, but got interesting at the end as the Saints pulled closer and closer. Some questions were answered while new ones are raised. A few players used the opportunity to raise their stock one last time while others may not have done enough. Some of the position battle decisions have become a little easier while others may have only gotten tougher. One thing is for sure: I'm glad I'm not the one who has to decide. Unfortunately, the Saints didn't escape the game injury free; Chris Ivory left with an undisclosed knee injury and Jonathan Casillas has a sprained foot. More information to come on that today. 

Make the jump, as usual, for my detailed game notes, observations and opinions in bullet form. Then comment with your own notes, observations and opinions.

New Orleans Saints 24 @ Tennessee Titans 27: Who Dat Say!?

Whodat12-7_medium

A lackluster game got kind of exciting at the end as backups and soon-to-be castoffs battled it out into the final seconds of the game at LP Field.  After the smoke cleared, the Tennessee Titans held on to the tune of a 27-24 victory over the New Orleans Saints.  There's also a bit of a disconnect between Brian Allee-Walsh and Jeff Duncan's post game injury perspective.

Make the jump to begin absorbing the post-game news and notes, tweets, transcripts, and videos from Thursday night's preseason action. (equal credit opportunity statemant: this WDS!? piece was a collaboration by Hans and Dave)

Fleur-de-Links September 2, 2010: New Orleans Saints @ Tennessee Titans Gameday Edition

Time for our final edition of Fleur-de-Links: Gameday (preseason style).  The sooner we get this game behind us, the sooner we get to turn our full focus to the 9/9/10 Wikings: Endgame Game of the Century - The Quickening: Back to Football Extravaganzapalooza (Kevin - get on that Favre/Highlander movie poster photoshop).  

But something tells me that no matter what happens next Thursday, the Wikings kerfluffle with us will continue.  

This morning's links, tweets, and video roundup brings you: player travel and feedbag tweets, pre-game news and notes, a Grandmaster Wang column, Handwerger's latest 53-man roster and mailbag, a Jeff Duncan Juicy Fruit column (is anyone else tired of this yet? I can already tell that this will be repeated countless times by MSMers all season long), an NFC South TE rankings by Pat Y., a Saints dance team history, and an AP story on Wikings backup QBs, to help us get ready for the onslaught of Saints-Wikes to come.

See you on the other side...

New Orleans Saints @ Tennessee Titans: What to Watch

Photo

More photos » Chris Graythen - Getty Images

I'm not gonna lie, this game is going to be as exciting as watching paint dry. With very few starters taking the field, I'm finding it difficult to even get excited about this one but it will be a great chance to evaluate some talent one last time before the score finally starts counting. So here are a few things I will be watching out for in the final Saints pre-season game of 2010. Feel free to include your own in the comment section below.

And make sure you're here at 6pm Central for the start of our open game thread. For those of you who may be new to Da Chronic, an open thread is when everyone meets together on one specific post on the main page during a game or event to talk with each other as they're watching it live. Thanks to SB Nation's auto-refreshing comments feature, it just like being in a chat room. See you there.

  

Chase Ramsey

The quarterback competition comes to the forefront tonight in the showdown to end all showdowns. or the last three games, Patrick Ramsey and Chase Daniel have been going head-to-head, duking it out to hold Drew's clipboard and thus far it's been too tight a race to call. One has the experience while the other has the potential. Payton said Ramsey will take the snaps in the first half and Daniel will take over in the second. The only question that remains: Who will take control and show they deserve it more?

Fleur-de-Links September 1, 2010: New Orleans Saints @ Tennessee Titans - Nashville, Here We Come!

Today is "travel to Tennessee" day following a morning walk-through.  Some folks will stay behind in New Orleans for injury rehab, while some won't even see the field Thursday night. 

Just in time for your morning coffee/water break or for an early lunch hour, the Fleur-de-Links post arrives to fill your cup with warm, aromatic (anyone else Smelling Greatness?) Saints news and notes.

Read on to find out what Sean Payton has deemed appropriate for us to know about Thursday's game so far.

If you make the jump, you can also read a busload of Tweets sorted by content, Les East's desire for meaningful games,  Handwerger's analysis of the offense and defense thus far in the preseason, Pat Y's ranking of NFC South offensive linemen, nfl.com's season preview of the Saints (this one is a week old, so if you already posted this, let me know - a CSC search for the title turned up nothing, though), and a link to a Preseason Week 3 Top 10 Plays of the Week video.

In today's embedded videos, we have Sharper speaking about his injury, Les and Brian's August 31 report, and Payton talking about Thursday's game and what it means to fringe players.
