pukenbowl
Isn't this starting to get fun!? I think we had a record number of votes for this week's winner. Thanks to everyone who takes part in this every week and I encourage all of you out there who have yet to jump in on the fun, feel free to do so.
Of course we have to recognize this weeks winner. And that winner is the prognosticator of prognostications. He who sees all that is seen and unseen. The one. The only. Pukenbowl. He wanted balloons and confetti but aside from the slightly more hyped introduction he will be honored in regular CSC fashion...his avatar on the front page. And isn't his avatar just adorable. Is that you puke? Or did you just scan one of those photo inserts that come with the Pier 1 picture frame when you buy it. It gives CSC a softer touch this afternoon. Of course now you have to tell us all who the young lady in the picture is. We will all be awaiting your answer.
All kidding aside, it's a new week and that means new predictions. A chance to start fresh. You only get three, so make 'em count.

sick of being wrong.
I have a sure fire way to get 3 right.
- - The Saints will play the Panters.
- - The game will be on Sunday
- - Someone wins the game.
There.. 3 for 3 i bet.
MT
I'm going to do us all a favor...
and not guess. Each time I did, the Saints lost. I will say however, that this will be a great game to watch!
Saints vs Panters
1. Saints will get 5 sacks and force 2 Delhomme fumbles.
2. Speaking of which, Saints will win turnover battle.
3. Saints beat Panters by nine.
Prognostications
1. Brees 327 yds, 2 TDs, 1 INT
2. Mehlhaff with game winning FG
3. Final Score: Saints 24, Panthers 21
1. The Saints defense will continue to improve with the inspired play of Brian Young…look for our defensive line limit their rushing attack. Prediction: DeAngelo Williams and Jonathon Stewart will have 90-110 yards rushing (combined).
2. By mixing in a few more rushing attempts, and throwing more short yardage passes, the Saints will win the time of possession battle.
3. The Saints win by a touchdown or less.
Dud has spoken.
I'd like to thank....
Drew Brees, Reggie Bush, and all of the Saints team members for making this possible.
Thank you Saintsational for giving me this awesome introduction and the coverage.
The young lady in that photo is me, and the super-good looking guy in there is my husband. I’ve never seen a better looking guy in my life. Okay, I’m the guy in the pic, and the super-beautiful lady in the pic is my beautiful wife of 4 months, and she is just as sweet as she beautiful, along with the fact the she is a great cook. I have no idea why she picked me. Anyways, my prediction…
Saints win 24 -17
1) We have over 150 yards rushing this week
2) Defense gets 3+ turnovers
3) Vilma has over 15 or more tackles
WHO DAT
the latter,
it happened while drinking heavily and trying to down a pitcher of beer. I’m not proud, but I did down the pitcher, and ran to the bathroom.
It’s a corny name, but it worked for yahoo instead of coming up with a name similar to mine.
WHO DAT
Let's get this one, HUGE game..
1. Close game ’til the Saints score at the end of the 3rd to open up a 10+ point lead never to look back
2. Colston nice game 5 for 72 and a TD
3. Brees to Bush on swing pass for 1st TD of game
Predictions
I think Drew Brees’s surgically repaired throwing shoudler was replaced by some sort of I-robotish technology because with the games he’s been having of late, it’s been leading me to believe he’s not a real person (and to the think the SAINTS, of all people, have the “BEST QB in the LEAGUE”
1. Drew Brees throws for 400 yards and at least 3 TD’s
2. Duece FINALLY get more carries than Reggie. I’ll even go out on a limb and say he gets an even 20 carries for 94 yards and at least 1 touchdown
3. The coaching staff feels that, due to injuries and “improved play”, Jason David, earns back his starting spot and he’s reponsible for a long touchdown pass to Steve Smith

where's the guy who does the photoshop on here
thats a good image
Can you do the terminator 2 image where half of the face is robot (with that red eye) half is brees’s? Or put the robo cop helmet on him?
or you could make brees like Neo and put him in a black trenchcoat and sunglasses
anything in the superhero/cyborg genre really because the guy is not human.
So shall it be written, so shall it be done
You mean like this?
I had to leave off the sunglasses…it could have been anyone. Sorry.
C'mon
Well guys, I just wanted to say that, even though i kinda started the rumor about Drew Brees being something beyond human, it would rediculous for us to to go with that. I was just sitting here thinking and it came to me. Drew Brees is actually an angel (or a SAINT for that matter)…….Do I smell a Drew Brees praying poster or am I being rediculous myself. lol
Rog Smoove
Predictions
1. Shockey returns to the lineup. He has 50+ receiving yards.
2. Brees is efficient yet is picked off at least once.
3. Bush is a threat and has 3 receptions of 10+ yards.
4. Deuce has at least one 10+ yards run.
digga predicts:
1. Running game is big factor both Deuce and Reggie show just how much they complement each other = 130+ yards combined in running
2. Brees 300+ yards
3. Game starts out close but Saints open it up in second half and win by 17
You guys may want to consider this
Rotoworld.com:
Muhsin Muhammad will be going against Saints LCB Mike McKenzie in the game, making Moose a less than desirable option. Muhammad benefited from a string of nice matchups leading up to Week 6, but he’s a low-end WR3 play here. Steve Smith is a much better bet for a big day against Randall Gay and Jason David.
Oct. 16 – 5:31 p.m. ET

Why does Rotoworld think they know this?
I’m with MT. McKenzie has actually been one of the best corners in the league in terms of yards per catch. Why would we put our “shut down corner” on top of a possession receiver?
USA Today:
MATCHUPS TO WATCH: Saints LCB Mike McKenzie vs. Panthers WR Steve Smith — With Smith having so much success against the Saints over the years, it won’t be a surprise to see quarterback Jake Delhomme look his way early and often. The biggest thing is the Panthers now have a dangerous weapon on the other side in Muhsin Muhammad, which should be a challenge to the Saints’ secondary as well.
Predictions, yes predictions....Pain!
1. Deuce 15+ carries, for 80+ yards
2. Bush has quiet day, Panthers game plan to stop “home run” at all costs
3. Defense puts the game on ice by causing the Panthers to turn the ball over on downs midway through the 4th quarter.
from 154 miles east of the Dome
1. Deuce goes 18 carries for 90 yards, 1 TD
2. Steve Smith gets 150 yards receiving
3. Reggie breaks another punt return loose for a TD
Saints win, 31-23
0/4 predictions
1. Mehlhaff will miss make a fourth quarter field goal.
2. Saints defense scores on a TD and a safety (maybe more).
3. Delhomme gets knocked out for at least one play, a punishing sack by Bobby McCray.
Spirit Repaired
O.K. guys and gals, enough with the Brees throwing for over 300 or 350 yds w/ multiple TD’s. That’s like saying the sun will rise tomorrow. It’s just going to happen, regardless.
Anyway, here it is: Saints 28, Panthers 10
1. Defense holds Carolina to under 300 total yds offense.
2. Colston back in but Moore still the man, over 100 yds rec, w/ 2 TD’s
3. Pierre Thomas returns a kickoff for a TD.
P.S. If you preview your posts and proofread before posting there will be no need for fixing them.
smoke 'em if you got 'em
Saints D holds Carolina out of the endzone.
Kasay kicks 6 field goals.
Mehlaff hits on 2 out of 3 again, but it’s enough for the WhoDat win, 20-18.
And I apologize, but no amount of previewing and retyping would help me spell our kicker’s name.
Panthers fans will be singing...
How could you lose that happy glow
Oh, Carolina no
I don’t usually do puns. More of a absurd juxtaposition guy.
Saints 24, Panthers 20
1- Deuce has 19+ touches.
2-McKenzie has a pick.
3-Campbell starts, but Shockey scores.
Here goes nothing...
1- I will most surely lose 5 pounds watching the game.
2- I won’t understad why Carolina got his ass kicked against the Bucs (Oh yeah, right: Jon Gruden)
3- I’ll make progress aiming at having a life besides the Saints.
Geaux Saints!
Saints vs. Panthers predictions
1. Drew Brees throws for 500 yds and 4 TDs.
2. Defense comes up big in 4th quarter with 2 sacks, 1 fumble recovery, and an INT.
3. The pills I take to calm me down before the game will wear off and I will wake up in the 4th Quarter just in time to see the " Contraflow".
Predictions
1) Deuce 100 yards rushing and 1 td
2) Shockey 6 receptions- 80 yards
3) Defense knocks Delhomme out of game
Here's 3 wrong predictions, if the past is any indication
1. The saints win by 10pts
2. Someone will sack Deholmme (spell check that) with one of the hardest bone crunching hits we’ve seen in a while. I’ll put my money on Smith.
3. Special teams comes up with a big turnover
Saints over the pussies 31-17
It's better to die like a lion, than to live like a pussy
Predictions
1. Colston gets his first TD of the season
2. Brees: 3 TDs 350+ yards
3. The D sacks Delhomme at least 4 times.
Go Saints!!!!
