for putting Hartley on the poll……I voted for HIM!!!!!!!

I had resigned myself to the loss until he missed that chip shot. Your analysis of the D was spot on—they looked like last year’s D. I’m ashamed to admit I actually wondered one time if GW was throwing the game for his old team. Their poor play must have been due to the many injuries we had and our patchwork secondary. Did Dunbar ever return to the game after his early injury? With Marvin Mitchel also out, we were very thin at LB. Our D made Campbell look like a Hall of Famer today.

but I too had given up hope. Great teams find ways to win and I feel that even if the Skins had made the chip shot, there was time to tie it up. I have to believe that. Any way they get it done is OK with me and they found a way. That was a great finish and goes to show that my Saints will play for 60 minutes no matter what and it paid off today.
I’m LOVIN IT

Saints take advantage of Skins turnovers. Only way to pull this game out. Defense looked horrbile, but there are plenty of starters and 2nd teamers out also, so hopefully we can patchwork it out until the starters get better.

Another great win, after 43 years of watching them lose games just like the Skins did today, makes me feel great to be a Who Dat and watch it finally come our way!!!!!!!

RAZOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Good Luck the rest of the season, you got past your “trap” game with us with a W. The team that wants it the most ends up with it. Beat Dallas’s ass & then go win the the SB

The Miracle in Landover

the cowboys lost now if arizona can pull it out over the vikes

What a rollercoaster of an afternoon. I pegged this game as the hardest of their remaining six games going into last Monday night’s game against New England. Why? Because teams like Washington have nothing to lose. It was a short week, a road game, and the weather was cold. Oh, and Washington had been inches away from beating decent teams in the last two weeks.

Here’s the thing though: in years past, we were the Redskins in this situation. Underdogs playing above our means and finding the impossible way to lose a game. Not this year. Somehow when you play well all year things just seem to work. Credit the Saints for bring opportunistic when it mattered though.

As long as Minnesota keeps the Saints honest, they go 16-0 now. Atlanta is banged up and the Saints will be ready to play hard after this week’s performance. Dallas and Romo stink in December and that game is at home. Tampa is at home and they’re putrid. Carolina is a mess. It’s all about getting that #1 seed though. 15-1 and 16-0 are irrelevant once the playoffs start.

my brother, my wife and i were watching the saints game at buffalo wild wings in baton rouge. there were about 20 steelers fans crowded in the bar. dont get me wrong, i have no problem with anyone pulling for thier team (even if they are 1000 miles away)

when the jerkoffs started pulling and yelling against the saints…thats pushing it! never-the-less, the steelers lost and we cheered like animals. these turds stuck around to watch the saints lose which was a fore gone conclusion by this time. how sweet it was to sing “who dat” in the faces of these cowards when we won the game.

so sweeet!

scary, but fun!!!

I for one thought we were down and out and out of nowhere Shaun Suisham misses the kick. When that happened, I knew this game was ours and that God was behind us. WHO DAT!

I really hope Fujita’s injury isn’t serious cuz that’s a huge hole. I still can’t wait for us to pick up a stud OLB in next year’s draft. Hopefully Jabari’s had enough rest and will be able to play against the Falcons. I know Porter won’t be back until playoff time

Today is the only day I lost hope on a game. I have altered the gameday routine in countless ways. Been to games at the Dome. Stayed home and watched. Drank 1 beer on walk to the Dome. Drank 2 such beers. Drank beer during the game. Stayed sober. Even missed one game entirely (Tampa).

Today I gave up, resigned to the loss, and literally turned off the tv and walked out the door right before Suisham missed the FG. My wife offered to go back home when we heard on the car radio Suisham had missed and then the Meacham TD, but I thought it was meant to happen this way and rode the kharma. Listened on the car radio the rest of the way. Begged Payton to send in Hartley in OT before something foolish happened.

   If that will get us to the Promised Land, I’ll listen to every game in the car the rest of the way.

 I have changed my routine so many times this year.

They did what championship teams do-they played a mediocre game and they won.This has been the way the season has went.The Saints tend to play to their opponents ability.
If you’re a basement dweller,they play you like you’re a basement dweller,with minimal effort,just enough to get that W.If you’re a top dog,they just kick your ass.

But Hartley needs some love too. He had some great, clutch kicks, and the only one he missed he had perfect line on just not enough distance. I think that was probably because of the footing too, it looked like his plant foot slipped slightly. I think in the Dome he would have put that one through.

i live in georgia so will be pretty close and will be nice seeing saints go up to 13-0 sitin in suite
WHO DAT!!!!!!!!

Send donations for my heart surgery. I can’t take this much longer.

This is why I have been a Saints fan for more than 30 years. It is nice to see us end up on the GOOD side of Murphy for a change.

Ye of little faith……………….12 – 0 WHODAT

If the Vikings lose tonight, they’ll be 12-2. It’ll at least drop that magic number.

maybe a couple more

I just checked out the Daily Norseman and see they spent most of the day rooting against us and then cursing us and the refs when we managed to squeak past the Skins for the W. It’s actually kinda funny to see them still doubt the Saints and now start believing we’ve got the refs paid off. After this Vikings loss, I wonder how many still believe the Vikings would dominate the Saints. The answer is probably most of them as they are homers for their team just like us. If the Vikings play like they did tonight in the playoffs, they’ll be one and done. The Saints were sloppy today too, but I blame the very poor playing conditions on that horrible field in Washington for that. The Vikings were in a dome and they laid a much bigger egg today. This loss may shake their confidence and send them on a slide. I like the Saints’ chances against them even more now.

Instead of having to go 16-0, we can go 15-1 and clinch home field. Of course, if we end up 15-0, why not go for 16-0?

Then we may as well do the 16. If this team is as special as we all believe they are, then we may as well go 19-0 and be the only team in NFL history to make that happen. Go down in the history books in BOLD TYPE!

I know there are pros and cons on this issue but I find it very suprising that a coach would actually talk about it outside the locker room.

Saintsational, got any inside info?

I feel better.

how that Skins overtime fumble shouldn’t have been reversed. There was a replay angle they showed ONLY ONCE on the tube, that clearly indicated the ball was loose before his elbow hit the ground. They reviewed this replay angle once, did not comment on it, and proceeded to only play the second replay angle, where the fumble was not clear. I was screaming at the TV because they refused to show first replay angle and continued to comment on how the call should not be reversed based on the second replay. BS.

Great Off., Improved Def. and Good/Decent special teams,plus few penalties and breaks (missed FG, no-fumble/fumble) all count in the equation. Just like the Cowboys, Steelers, and Raiders of old, always got the calls. The picture of Meachem/Payton on the sideline after “The Strip” is avatar material, Also Shaun Suisham, cut Tues.
