Good win today. Watching at home in Louisiana with fellow Saints fans made it all the more enjoyable.

Our offense seems to be able to move the ball pretty much at will, though today they stalled a couple times right when we really wanted them to just put the damn game away.

IS IT NICE TO HAVE A RUNNING GAME OR WHAT? As you note, mediocre opposition the past two weeks could be inflating our stats, but there's no arguing with the fact that our line has been best in the NFL this year in QB sacks allowed, despite being so horrendous the first three weeks of the season. The holes they were opening up for Stecker and Thomas today were impressive. As Southernsaint noted in the game comments, Stecker even showed some explosiveness!!! So much for my slamming him on that last week. That said, he needs to do it against the Iggles and da Bears for me to be a believer.

Boy our run defense is not bad at all, and it helped. I was worried sh*tless that the Fitzgerald/Boldin combo would torch us much the way the Rams aerial attack did but we held our own, largely b/c we didn't even have to worry about getting gashed by the run. Meanwhile, we got several bounces to go our way and got pressure when we needed it (though certainly could have done a better job on that front).

Philly got a big win today but most importantly of all: next year we won't risk becoming the first team in NFL history to give up a kickoff return for a TD against the Bucs. I always worry about that when we play 'em.

Anyway, go Bears.
