PrintGood morning, CSCers!! I hope you are coping well with this first offseason weekend of no more Saints football. It certainly was a fun day of football yesterday, watching the games stress-free and enjoying the competition.
The Steelers got smacked around early by the Ravens, but then turned the tables in an impressive second half, overcoming a 14-point deficit to win 31-24.
In the evening game, Atlanta used an Eric Weems KO return touchdown and a Packers turnover to grab a quick 14-7 lead before the Packers torpedoed them with 35 consecutive points (don't even get me started on Joe Buck's misuse of the term "unanswered points") on their way to a 48-21 blowout.
Today's divisional games continue the "Rematch" theme, featuring the Seahawks at the Bears in the early game, and the Jets at the Patriots in the late game. If you're going to watch the games this afternoon, be sure to check back here and join the open game thread with your other game-watching CSCers.
As for our beloved Saints, the news from them relates to the Superdome renovations, 2011 ticket prices, Jeff Duncan's roadmap to get them back on top, and Mickey Loomis commentary on the offseason.
Make the jump to read on, MacDuff!!

a couple people did
but we tried to keep them in check. Keep it classy. I’m pumped about the Superdome renovations. Looking forward to going next year.
Peyton, I can eat Oreos faster than you!!!!

So is Mr. Dave.
The lounges will serve 4,500 fans, whose old plaza seats will be upgraded to premium tickets, giving those fans leather chairs with cup-holders.
Who knows where or when old wounds will mend?
that will be nice
now only if each seat came with a remote control that works the jumbotron…
Happiness is a warm blanket.

Duncan nails it here
In the five drafts of the Sean Payton era, the Saints have selected just one front-seven defender in the first three rounds — defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis in 2008. The neglect shows on game days. The Saints lack a difference-maker up front, someone opposing offenses need to game-plan and account for each game. It’s difficult to find a playmaker with the No. 24 pick, but it’s not impossible. The Patriots selected cornerback Devin McCourty at No. 27 last season. The Packers picked Clay Matthews at No. 26 in 2009. In 2007, Carolina drafted Jon Beason at No. 25. All are Pro Bowl players. The Saints, meanwhile, have drafted just one eventual Pro Bowler in the defensive front seven during the past decade. That was end Will Smith. He could use some help.
They’ve GOT to upgrade the front seven by using some early draft picks here. One good thing about how the season ended in Seattle where the D failed to show up is that this hopefully makes defense a priority in the draft. That game highlights what Duncan writes. We need at least a couple of new young playmakers in the front 7.
"As soon as Tony (Dungy) said we had no chance, I knew we had 'em right where we wanted 'em"--Coach Sean Payton right after Super Bowl XLIV with the Lombardi Trophy firmly in hand. WHO DAT!!

I voted acceptance
But I’m about to move back to denial with the way the Seahawks are playing today. I am BEGGING them to score. Once, please, at least.
Ughhhh don't get me started, I'm still
PISSED!!!!!!! No way we was ‘spose to lose this group of bums. Pete Carroll’s sorry ass. I’m pissed that Bush didn’t reach way inside and tell himself that some how Pete screwed him in that whole heisman thing and have like some crazy 200 yard rush/pass game. I’m pissed that we didn’t blitz the crap out of bald by nature Hassleflack, I’m pissed that them UGLY ass colors they got, and I’m pissed that the commentators always talk about their 12th man like the Who Dat nation don’t bring it when you in the dome. I’m pissed that it took over an hour to find crawfish in LA to make my crawfish pizza for the game. I hope Chicago scores 50 points on em.
Hans, how many unanswered posts were there on this? :D
"In fact with that article from today that had him real lean and everything, I think I’m going to play him at corner this week in place of Tracy Porter."-Greg Williams in refefernce to Sedrick Ellis
This season was a waste
Waste of our talented team. The injuries just got to us.
But man, I’m so irritated with Falcons fans this year. They win by one stinking lucky field goal in the 1st game, then lose against a short handed Saints team, and believe they are owed something. I’m not surprised at all that they got killed by Green Bay and I hope this shuts them up. I don’t really have anything against Atlanta, but when I hear people trying to talk smack not about football but cities and geography, it really burns me up. I mean, anyone who has ever traveled knows that Nola is a far better city than the ATL, at least for QOL and fun. ATL has more jobs and a giant airport. And that’s just the way it is. I wish Nola had a better airport, frankly, but it’s just a nicer city to live in. Buckhead versus Bourbon Street, lol. No contest.
Anyway, hope the saints can retool the roster for next year. We’re counting on drafting well and our pro scout leader, who has been so great, coming through for us. Who Dat!
