Saints Inching Closer to National Spotlight

I always love your “Player Grades” posts when SS links them on here. I look forward to your contributions, and to using my clicking finger a few less times on Mondays.

Nice to have a new voice here. I look forward to reading more of your stuff.

While I agree with most of what you wrote up there, I must disagree with this:

If the Saints lose, they’ll just fall back into obscurity. Let the chips fall where they may.

I think it matters more how they lose (if – and that’s a big if – they lose). If they get skull-dragged around the field, then sure they will likely fade into obscurity (and they should if that happens). But, if it’s tight, I think it only builds on their early success. The Giants are pretty widely considered the best in the NFL. I don’t think it will detract from their early status one bit if they lose and play well.

The saints will fall back into obscurity with one loss. Sure the teams they have beaten so far this season aren’t exactly awesome, minus the eagles, but with the improved defense they finally look like a contender again.

Actually, I think it’s the biggest game of the year…and mostly because if the Saints win this one, they have to believe—really believe, deep down—that they’re a champion in the making. If they lose, it may have the same effect on them that losing to the Patriots did to the Giants; but if they win, they will have proven to themselves and everyone else that there isn’t another team that can hang with the Saints unless we let them.

CSC fans for the warm welcome. I’m excited to be a part of the CSC family, and hopefully I’ll give you guys good material to talk about. I should clarify that I meant they fall back into “obscurity” if they fall to 4-1 in the relative national sense. I believe they are already somewhat in obscurity at 4-0. That’s not to say they’re not talked about, or that no one has heard of them… Just that comparing them to the other big market teams they get minimal exposure. Part of that is the city they play in being a smaller market. They are being talked about at least half as much as every other undefeated team. Im not saying that complaining, just observing it. Going into the Jets game, the Jets were MUCH more hyped.

Anyway, we’ll be talking a lot more. Looking forward!

Welcome aboard……looking forward to your new posts!!! Yes; this is the GAME for us…..I do believe we will win…..Saints 38 giants 24………down with all three NY teams in three weeks..WHODAT!!!

From your friendly enemies over at The Falcoholic. For the record, I think you guys are going to get the national spotlight following this week whether you win or lose, but I do think you’ll beat the Giants.

I’m looking forward to the player grades. This will probably be the biggest game for us this season. It might not be the most exciting(probably will be the patriots game) but it will be our toughest game not to mention our chance of having a breakout season. If we can beat them, we prove that we are really a big deal. We can prove that even if we lose as long as we don’t lose by much or something along those lines. If we get crushed, we go back to “You just beat up on a few bad teams, 1 team without their starting QB, and a rookie QB for another.” I’m hoping for the spotlight! Idk if the Giants are a lock for top of the division. They are definetly a leading frontrunner but the Saints and Vikings look really good right now. If the Giants beat us, that will probably all but asure they’re first round bye. Same goes for us pretty much.

Looking foward to reading your post.

I’m pretty new here myself, but looking forward to another point of view. I can’t believe I have to wait 6 more days for this game! I’ll be reading every bit of Saints news I can find. Start posting!!!

Welcome here. We are glad to have you. I grew up in Fullerton…but lived all my life in Nawlins………Have no fear we will win against the giants…..38 24…..so rest easy……I will be at the game. Return here and read all the news. Be sure you go to the giants web site and see how bad they talk about us. We will beat all three NY teams in three weeks….that has never been done before………We will do it!!!! WHODAT

if they come out flat like a bunch of creeps then it could be a real tough day for them in the wicked garden of the meadowlands. instead they want to be sitting plush and undefeated, and jam there sex type thing into the heart of the giants core. i mean, lets just say theyre going to need a lot of vasoline if they want to be signing that interstate love song.

At the time the Saints played (Buffalo)(Jets)(Eagles) there was much fanfare about how we couldn’t win because of their (defences) and at their ball park (backyards) ?
 The Saints have attacked those defences hard and have neaten every one of them but now that we have beaten them it seems to mean nothing at all ?
 

I look at (Eli Manning) and see where he has played against the weakest teams and defences in the NFL. So the question is simple….If Brees is breaking most records
and is playing much better then (Eli) and against better schedule (tougher) and is undefeated like (Eli) , why is it that everyone says he is better than Brees ? I look at the teams NY has played and I think the Saints would have beaten those teams a lot more than what I see the Giants doing….Something ??

Even if beat the NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS , come monday the media folk will
duck@dodge it and say well this @that and oh yeah by the way, the Saints and Giants
played a game the other day and the Saints won but only because of this @ that and so will the Giants fans. Then we will see how great Romo @ Farve are even if they loose their games. On @ on @ on….Even if we the SUPER BOWL we would hear about Romo @ Farve. What up with that ? Next to the Redskins @ Giants…Dallas has played the weakest scvhedule in the NFL and have 3 wins and against winless teams , every time they play a team with a few wins- they loose …but we still hear how great Dallas is ? So it really don’t mean that much if you win because it really is. ..
WHAT TEAM YOU ARE !!!!!!!!!!!

you should put Ralph in parentheses, is if you’re actually vomiting. Eli merits parentheses, provided you’re vomiting into a cotton gin. The rest of your (question) is ridiculous.
