No voting here…. Just a great effort by the team today. Defence was outstanding. What a game!!

But that was a tough call. Grant was inspired today. 2 sacks, blocked pass, chasing down RBs for tackles, constantly in the backfield disrupting plays. He really looks to be returning to his old form.

I saw that play entry on NFL.com with Drew completing a long pass to Jabari and had a big WTF moment. Once I figured out what happened, it made sense. Jabari’s number is 32, Pierre is 23.

Another awesome game for the Defense. And another big day for the running game (Reggie had 6.2 ypc!). But, the penalties are still killing the offense. And there were a couple non-calls that they really lucked out on. I thought for sure Lance was going to get an unsportsmanlike conduct for mouthing off at the ref. Big no-no.

Overall a fantastic win against a very good team. Good thing for the bye next week. It will be good to let everyone rest up and get some key people back on the field.

I just can’t vote for just one guy today. Sharpers TD was huge, but just when we thought they had gotten some momentum, by holding us out of the end zone, Will comes thru with the strip sack. And the defensive ends, I thought, played a helluva game. And you are right about Drew, as usual he didn’t get us beat. 4-0 sure sounds good.

Without mentioning the quote?

our d is good enough to win the ’ship. sharper is an absolute sicko!!

Things have flip flopped so much that I didn’t even come close on my predictions this week. Well maybe next time, but if I pick the D to shine Brees will have another 400+ yd. 6 TD game. It never felt so good to be so wrong. WHO DAT!

You are so on time.

…Gold Pants

Nice work. I’ll have something for everyone tomorrow.

defense made Sanchez look like a rookie,good tackling,CB’s defended the pass, and what can u say about the ageless Sharper. Payton I thought got little greedy,should have taken the 3,but gets redemption,w/ sack,fumble and recovery. Wheeew! Glad its over. Who-Dat…..

I just looked to the right of this thread, and saw the featured poll. oops: 60 votes just went down the toilet. Hey Dave, in the 3rd qtr, Dierdorf said you guys were sitting on your hands. You know, for a quy who spent his carrer in the NFC, he sure has turned into an AFC homer. Great Game. Who Dat.

We’ve got a brand new #42, baby!

Sharper is ROCKIN’!!!

And Gregg Williams for mayor!

we MUST wear the “away” uniforms all year, the steelers do it, and they always win.

gentlemen, we may have found the secret the football success, gold pants.

forget GW, our marketing guy is the MVP so far.

I see two games that we could maybe lose (Giants and Pats), plus two iffies (splitting with Carolina and Atlanta, respectively, and I’m being KIND to Carolina).

Is it outlandish to think this team is capable of going 12-4 or 13-3?

But Reggie is making it really hard for me to like him. I am very disappointed in his play. SECURE THE DAMN BALL!!!!!!!!! I also really want to see Rod Harper out there on punt returns. It’s not so much Bush’s lack of production on returns as it’s his decision making when deciding to not field the punt. Very questionable decision making in my opinion…

breath everytime Drew hands off to him,if he’s 195/200 lbs.,he gets tackled like he’s 150lbs., he needs to catch passes.

Before the start of the season we all had hopes of an improved D. Like everyone said if we can just field a decent D we can win a few more of those close games. Naturally I hoped the D would be good enough to not lose us games, but if you would have told me they would be winning games for us I would have said naaaa! But that what they have done the past two weeks. Great job D…Keep it up!

What a fantastic team effort! The defense was awesome! I love the way PTO runs! The passing game wasn’t all that is has been, but Drew is fantastic leader no matter what!

to not have to score 45 points just to win? to be able to not only see a DB in the picture on a big play but to see a hand in the face of a WR, and not only to block a pass but to damn make the INT and take it to the house?? Aww man I’m still trippin on the fact that we got room to get better which means we won’t peak too soon.

the way our D has been playing i think we’re going to start scaring a lot more teams out there.

i’m totally looking forward to the challenges that the pats and giants might bring. i almost feel like we can go unbeaten this year.. and i mean ALL the way. if defense wins championships, then book the saints for the superbowl!

After the tease of the Joe Horn Era, that first playoff win in ‘00, and everything else over the years, I’ll take what I can get.

Who Dat, Baby, Who Dat.

That just happened.

No game next week, OMG what will I do for 2 weeks..lol.

I’m probably the biggest Saint fan on this site and you probably won’t be able to tell it by the following. I’m a bit concerned over what I’ve seen out of this offense today and last Sunday against Buffalo.

If this was a calculated effort by Williams and Peyton – play a subdued offensive game and a stepped up, in your face defensive game – I’d have to give it to them: these guys are the best team in the business. However, I doubt very seriously this is the case. Having said that, to see what is called a high powered offense not get a single passing touchdown with all of the recievers (including my boy Lance Moore) on the field, is down righ pathetic, I don’t care whose defense we were playing against. If we are going to get the respect of being a SERIOUS superbowl contender, we’d better clean this up, and I believe we will. We just can’t afford to give the rest of the league some film off of which to base their defensive schemes against us…otherwise we know what the outcome of that will be if nothing changes.

I guess you weigh 450 lbs. Just kidding, Dude we’re all the biggest Saints fans.

…if so, I’d like to add Mark “Dirty” Sanchez.

Hey, he WAS responsible for 14 Saints points all by his lonesome.

;-)

You da man

I know a punter isn’t what you think of when you think “player of the game”, but Thomas Morestead was huge for us today. I can’t think of a single drive except for Reggie fumble where the Jets had good starting field position. He was booming punts when needed, and landing them on a dime. Completely taking away kickoff returns with touchbacks played a big part in this win. I was just watching the postgame press conference and Darren Sharper called him the best punter he’s seen in his career. Considering the field position battle that was so important in keeping the Jets off the scoreboard I just wanted to show some appreciation for our punter.

Good point, also if you guys remember the last few years, the kick offs going into the end zone this year is very sweet.

to imagine when Mike Bell comes back. 5 headed monster in the backfield with Thomas, Bell, Bush, Evans, and Hamilton. Like ZOINKS Scoob!

normally i would say that new york strips are bad for D linemen, but this time im all for it!

But .. Its so hard to say that I didnt vote the others.

I love that we showed that flashy Jets QB a true who dat welcome to the NFL.
He will get stronger from lessons he learned from the Saints today and in future will be a better QB.

Greer was very close to being a Shutdown Corner out there today. He didnt let any more thru then that Jet they keep saying is the best thing since sliced bread.

Sharper… Backed up his words and pic 2, 1 to the house. I think some QBs are going to have nightmares and our boy Sharper will be prominent in them.

Grant was all over the place. Thats a lot of body to move but he was a moving it today.

If i have to give a game ball out .. it would go to the ENTIRE DEFENSE. They won the game. 14 > 10 > 10

That TD put him at #2 all time for interceptions returned for a TD. I believe Rod Woodson is pretty far ahead of him though. Everyone did great on defense. I guess all the sports writers will now be saying, “The Giants will be the real test for the Saints”. Every week seems to be our “Real Test”. If you look at the schedule, if we beat the Giants, there aren’t anymore tests until the Patriots. I’m giving Atlanta one but not in our house.

but maybe I should have voted for Sanchez…..without him none of this would be possible!!!!!!!

is worry about Offensive Production. The goal here is to win games, not set NFL offensive records or ranking goals. Win games. We won, we’re winning. We still have the best defense in the NFL, even with some injuries and Reggie sometimes in a funk. And if our defense becomes # 4 in the NFL or something, would you rather be the #1 Offense like last year and not make the playoffs? Obviously the Saints will try to improve on things they didn’t do well. but, no, let’s not worry about the offense. Let’s build on our newly aquired BALANCE!!! (Run- Pass balance AND Offensive-Defensive Balance)

defiantly Sanchez, GW should have given his defensive game ball to him.

kudos for the addition

As I mentioned in my original comment: I’m happy for the W. However, we need to take several things into consideration in light of a less than stellar offensive performance: In the playoffs, the competition gets much stiffer, if you can’t put points on the board in the first quarter of the season when many teams are still trying to perfect some things, you’d better be concerned about the post season.
2) Balance is great but you cannot sit back and depend on the defense to make points for you ESPECIALLY in the playoffs. This offense has to be as aggressive as our defense was Sunday against EVERY team. This is more than just about stats.
3) Couple these considerations with the fact that we are a spoiled team, practicing and playing in a controlled environment. The post season brings the harsh conditions of winter and if we are not so fortunate to have home field, our offense has another component there to play against (remember Chicago when we couldn’t get traction or a reception (that was a hyperbole)).
