They did a poll on ESPN asking which QB, Brees or Manning, is more likely to get a 2nd SB ring, and 56% to 20% said Manning. This after Brees threw more TDs than Manning and less its in the regular season, have a better completion % which was an Nfl record, outplayed him in the SB by throwing miore TD passes, less ints and higher completion % (which I think was a record) got the SB MVP award, and had a higher QB rating in SB.. Go figure.

I was going to post this but you beat me to it. Isn’t that something. Get your money down on the Saints now. The odds are only going to get better.

Frankly if everyone started pickingthe Saints it would make me nervous.

It has to do with teams statistically not making it back to the superbowl the year after they win?

I got the same feeling this afternoon that I did before the Vikings game when I knew they would make it to the superbowl and win. I feel like they won’t be back to the sb next year (although they will have a good year) but they will win another one in the next couple of years, possibly in Indy or the New Orleans (Nola would rock!).

odds are the teams don’t get back and win it 2 years in a row. Thats all it is and plus anything can happen next year. All the teams are so close. 3-13 teams can jump to playoff teams, good teams like the Steelers can drop from SB champs to non playoffs. 8-8 teams can go from non playoff team to SB champs. You just have to be realistic and not biased. Schedules change and get harder (well not your division) but for the most part you finish higher and play harder schedules the next year. It all plays out and the odds become against you in some way. You won this year and thats the most important thing. No need to try and amp up the we get no respect or the sympathy play. You’re the SB champs , so you’re on top, now all the teams will gun for you next year. Its a different view and one you should all like and appreciate :)

On espn’s first take our favorite pudnet Skip Ballsless wasw asked he thought the Colts lost the game or the Saints won it.
And of course that spineless little human waste said he thought the Colts lsot it and gave it to the Saints
I would give anything to be in room with that skinney little twerp for 5 mins.

no one took your team seriously. No teams even scouted Matt Moore.

and having all the fun…………Dont feed him cause then he’ll want to live here. Also, dont leave the garbage can lid off cause he’ll get in and eat the scraps. Most of the time they move on when you just ignore them………………I think that works on Cats,Carolina trolls and stray dogs.
Oh yea, Has anybody on hear heard that OUR Saints won the NFC South, NFC Divisional Championship and last but not least The SUPER BOWL Championship.
Damn I’m Proud…………………………………..

Hey, worked out pretty well for us this season. GEAUX SAINTS-HATERS!

(If you don’t know what a Saints-hater is, just look in your rear view mirror. Yep, that’s them waaaaaaaaay back there!!!)

That for all the goodwill the Saints win generated, no one is really taking us seriously from a purely football standpoint still. You have to think that’ll be an excellent motivational tool for the team next season. I like the idea that they will not get complacent, and can still use that “us against the world” angle.

 If someone wants to dis da boys it doesn’t mean we are not get’n respect. It just means that party is a stupid azz. Can’t fix stupid. LOL I think for the VASSTTTTTT majority we are get’n our props. World Champion Saints !!

True story: I was watching pre-game with my mom. (She’s 71, and doesn’t really care much for football… but loves New Orleans.)

They had segment after segment of Colts info… then, when they had a “Saints related” segment, it was Peyton Manning talking about the Saints and what they mean to his dad and the city.

My mom says, “When are they gonna talk about the Saints?”

I said, “No idea. I wouldn’t be surprised if they talk about the Colts until the game started.”

She says, “Well that’s horrible. They should lose the game just for that.”

How right she was!
.

Seriously… I don;t expect us to get any respect from MSM anytime soon. And, I kinda like it that way.

Sure, it pi$$es me off to know end to hear “25th ranked defense”; but… I kinda like that we’re constantly underestimated.

Yes, I want my boys to get the credit they rightfully deserve, but I LOVE IT when we shock the MSM and make them look like idiots.

being the underdog. I started thinking maybe people won’t see us like that now and then it hit me that I like being seen that way.

I also realized I have crossed over into using 1st person narrative when talking about the Saints. A guy on a local radio show here always made fun of his boss for doing that with the Stars. He would tell his boss "why do you keep saying “we” like you are actually part of the team"? Haha now I am that person.

The Colts were in that role all… year… long. Any of you remember all the “window has closed” talk about the Colts because we had coaching changes, lost Marvin Harrison, then the early injuries? I watched as, week after flippin’ week, all the “experts” declared we would lose. I think Deion Sanders picked the RAMS to beat us. I know he picked every other team to do so… every… single… week. And then guess what? Every… single… week… we won (well, when we tried – ugh!).

But I was nervous as HELL (and for good reason) when we were declared the favorites in the SB. I hated it. I wanted Deion to be preaching to the world that the Saints were going to crush the Colts, that Peyton would collapse and throw 8 picks, that the D wasn’t aggressive, etc. Unfortunately, they went all reverse jinx on us and look what happened….
