Fleur-de-Links - Sept. 13th: Saints Relax Before Preparing for an Embarrassed but Still Dangerous 49ers Team

PrintThere's so little going on today in the world of the Super Bowl Champions that I almost titled this post "Heath Evans Meets With Gardener" based on one of his tweets. It's gonna be like this until Thursday when the Saints start focusing on the 49ers. After yesterday, they're a team in great need of a statement victory. I'm sensing the possibility of a trap game coming for us next Monday. The 49ers are better than what they displayed in Seattle (especially their D) and they'll be at home. Still, I expect Payton, Williams, and Brees to ensure everyone brings their A-game.
In what little news there is today, Willie Roaf will be eligible for Hall of Fame enshrinement next year, Jeff Duncan says don't worry about Garrett Hartley's missed FGs Thursday night, and Saints tattoos are becoming very popular. I wonder if the "F*** the Eagles" girl has gotten one and, if so, where exactly on her bod it may be.

NEXT GAME vs. THE 49ers:

In just the second week of the season, the New Orleans Saints have a chance to make franchise history. They have never started 2-0 in consecutive seasons.

Maybe the 49ers thought they were made men, that the rest of the NFC West would lie down like a red carpet as they walked straight to the crown room to claim their divisional championship.

Will the 49ers correct these mistakes by next week? Could be a trap game for us. I hope we don't underestimate these guys.

ANALYSIS OF VIKINGS GAME:
New Orleans Saints didn't play their best game, but a win's a win: Film Study | NOLA.com
The Saints played like a veteran team used to winning. They didn't turn the ball over, allowed just one sack and committed only three penalties for 20 yards.

High scoring shoot out? Didn’t happen. More late hits than some desperate singles during ‘last call’ at closing time? Nope. An aerial circus? Ground games devouring yardage big chunks at a time? Unh uh.
WILLIE ROAF ELIGIBLE FOR HALL OF FAME CONSIDERATION IN 2011:
Roaf One of Five First-Year Pro Football HOF Nominees
CANTON, OH – Former Saints offensive tackle Willie Roaf was one of five first-year eligible candidates for the Pro Football Hall Fame’s Class of 2011, the organization announced on Monday.
Willie Roaf, Marshall Faulk among Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2011 Preliminary Nominees
Big Willie is up for HoF recognition next year. He deserves it, but how many times have O-linemen made it in during their first year of eligibility? Probably not often. Let's hope he gets it, though. Faulk is a 2011 shoo-in, IMHO.

Injury concerns make 18 game NFL regular season the wrong move
Until such time as either players advance their current level of performance enhancement and lifestyle management status, the risk/benefit reward is not there, based on the current level of sophistication in the manner in which NFL players and /or teams effective manage the health and performance of their "assets." Tell me any business that would put their "assets" at such risk and convince their board of directors such actions were representative of sound business practices. Unless the "assets," in this case the human beings (players) were expendable, albeit the "stars," who should be protected at all cost to preserve the business.

You know the same exact concepts could be applied to the Saints.
The difference between the two teams are that the Saints ended up with a win and the 49ers did not.
That being said, it is anyone’s game cause both teams sucked during their first game.

The Saints didn't suck
First of all, they were playing a much more formidable opponent than the 49ers, and they held them to 9 points. That’s not suckage.
Secondly, if you eliminate a few individual errors on offense—mainly dropped passes—that game could have been a blowout. Again, not suckage…at least, not team suckage. If you want to argue that Robert Meachem sucked because he dropped a sure touchdown, that’s different…but still going too far. (Okay, Hartley sucked. One point for you.)
It was worth the wait.

The 49ers are a better team than they displayed yesterday. But at least on offense, we’re also a better team than we displayed on Thursday. But we didn’t play like it. So we don’t have anything to come in overconfident about.
Plus Payton is the master manipulator. He’ll find a way to get the boys ready.
Despite voicing my concerns above, I voted "Not Likely"
The team seems very focused so far. They seem to know it’s gonna be more difficult this year and are mentally prepared for it. Still, if ever there was the opportunity for a let-down game, its this one. I think Payton will have them ready.

Am i the only one
that finds it odd that people refer to their significant others, or brothers, or children by their twitter handles? Why not just say “having dinner with the wife”? Just ….weird. That and I’d feel a lot better about everything if people spent their day off watching the San Fran game and opponent tape rather than the Redskins/Cowboys game.
Saints will be fine
These guys weren’t under-coached. They were distracted and unfocussed. At the niners there won’t be any SB hoop-la. Hours of pregame extraveganza etc. And I hope I have seen the last of the solidarity crap. Brees and company will come out hit’n on all cylinders. Think it was a wake up and glad we got out with a W. Fourty niners are in deep chit!

Any team with Patrick Willis should not be underestimated.

agreed, that dude is a beast!!!
And although, I grew up a Niner’s fan and still follow them, I hope we smoke them!!!!

In spite of how the 49ers played.
Never underestimate your opponent no matter who it is your up against. They could have had an off day. It happens. But I expect the Saints to be in full force that night. Score a ton of points, and we’ll be fine.
Had to vote for the hamburgers.
Last year’s team answers are still in effect. One game at a time, can’t win every game of the year in week 2, 3, 4, etc….. The team and coaches are pretty much intact so I don’t see them changing in their beliefs. Not to say they can’t or won’t have a bad game(s). Gotta love the Black-N-Gold Kool-Aid and BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!! Goes great with the burgers and come Monday Night a Forty Burger hung on the 9ers would be an outstanding sight to see.
I wouldn't disagree by stealing it either though, you know...
we got the black masks on... we got to get out of here. Hopefully
the police don't catch us on the way out.---Roman Harper
Did anyone read Duncan's mailbag?
There was a uniform question, and part of Duncan’s answer was this:
I’m sure they’ll break out the all-black uniforms before the season is over.
Sorry, couldn’t help but want to stir up the pot a bit…
It's gonna be a great year.
And I suggested on another thread
that if the players choose the uniforms, let’s put pressure on the players…okay, let’s prostrate ourselves and beg them…NOT to wear the all-blacks.
It was worth the wait.
also, Satch sez there's not much news
but then he posts more than enough links that I’d call it a good day’s F-D-L post.
In my book, “Not much news” is the 6 links I posted on Sunday…
It's gonna be a great year.
You guys are making me nervous!
I look to you guys for direction so you better have some confidence dangit haha

Cheeseburgers never?
NOW I’m losing confidence. You have to throw a little ambush in there from time to time.
