Giants beat the Packers. NFC Championship would have been in the Dome if the Saints had won. Probably would have beaten them, too. Un-f******-believable. I need to throw up. At least Drew Brees gave the Saints a chance. @But Aaron Rodgers still deserves the MVP.@

Yep....a win against either Tampa or St.Louis
and we would have beat SF by two TDs. Watch next season, especially if we get a decent DC.

what about our offensive pieces? were probably going to get drew brees under contract, but what about nicks, colston, meachem, i think evans too? and the one thing our defense needs is a pass rusher or a DT . our secondary i think is average but never gets that break where the dline crashes in the qb.

I beg to differ
We wouldn’t have beaten the Giants, even at home. We don’t have a Super Bowl defense and haven’t compensated for that fact with takeaways all season. We couldn’t stop Vernon Davis, yet we’re going to somehow magically stop Cruz, Nicks and Manningham? Home field advantage doesn’t mean THAT much. If it did, Green Bay would have won.

Don't agree, CP...
Giants D isn’t what SF’s was. They’ve been unable to stop us the last two times we’ve played. Maybe Eli scores 40, but we score 60 if necessary. No way Saints lose NFCCG at home to the Giants.
They’re playing much, much better right now than the last two times we’re played. We’ve also never scored 60 points versus a playoff caliber team, regardless of how poor their defense is.

But everyone forgets the Saints have also been playing a lot better than when we played them earlier.
Going into the Niners game we had won 9 straight and scored over 40 points 4 consecutive weeks. What more do you expect. Yes, we had 5 turnovers yesterday. Guarantee that wouldn’t happen against the Giants in the Dome.
I just don't agee.
Not sure what you mean by “what do you expect” except the obvious: Hey, defense, “Make the stop!”
I’m not saying Saints weren’t contenders and they had a hell of a season, that showed an incredible offense. At the end of the day, that’s all we get except a division banner to hang.
And all I’m saying is I agree that we might not have won just because we had home field advantage and it’s because our weakness was exposed, again, in a playoff game. Need better defense.

If CP is a true, loyal Saints fan who bleeds black and gold, I CHALLENENGE CP to prove something that will illustrate that now. Don’t brag about your season tickets or your Motel 6 reservations 2009. What do you have for real? When have you been positive, cheered your team on or given any credit to these players giving it all for their team? Otherwise his admission that he is just a “Saints rooter” speaks for itself. A pitiful admission of someone who really doesn’t support this team through thick and thin. Just goes on a blog and slams football players, great athlets, who make errors sometimes just like any professional athlete does.

CP is only a "bully" and "intimidating" if you allow it.
You just have to take a step back and understand what is happening. I.e.:
In Dave’s headline: “Probably would have beaten them, too.” The key word here is “Probably” meaning that it is not a certanty but more of an opinion.
However CP begs to differ: “We wouldn’t have beaten the Giants, even at home.” The key word here is “wouldn’t,” which means IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN. With one word (as usual) he turns it into a win/lose situation. As we all know these are situations that CP refuses to lose because they are of his own creation so he attempts to wear the opposition down by rediculously long replys supported by a seemingly never ending string of pre-replys and pre-pre-replys.
CP’s problem, in my opinion [see: a..holes, everybody’s got one] is that he is not socially adroit. To me, not knowing how to argue is as unforgivable as not knowing when to argue. If I were accused of a felony I would want him to be the prosecutor.
So everyone relax and enjoy the side show. The circus may not be in town tomorrow.

The “Differing” alluded to is clearly of opinion. I don’t think they would have beaten the Giants. The word “Probably” is not necessary for that assertion to stand independently. I don’t “Probably” think it. I think it. Had the Saints played the Giants and beaten them, then I would be wrong. Had the Giants beaten the Saints, Dave would not be wrong.

WHOA.
His comments are his opinions of the players and coaches of the team. No worse than any other person on this site.
If he bullies people on here, then they need to either grow thicker skin, or maybe do their homework and back their opinions up with ACCURATE stats and facts (TOP aside).
As far as proving his fanhood, you can’t know the things he does about the team and its history without having followed them closely. He and everyone else on here that is a fan of the team has EVERY right to question everything about the Saints organization, because we “bleed black and gold” and are as much a part of the success of this team as Brees or Payton.

The Rams aren’t a playoff caliber team. And that was 7 weeks ago. They’re playing much better ball as of late on both sides of the ball. The Saints have been playing the same on both sides of the ball since. I think it would be a competitive game for 2 1/2 to 3 quarters, I just don’t think the Saints have shown enough consistency to put the clamps down on an playoff caliber offense that’s hitting on all cylinders (NY wasn’t midseason) and the Giants have clearly stepped up their game on D, if they’re limiting GB to 18 points fewer on the road, as compared to their first game, which was played even more recently.

Absolutely. Our game and this Giants win shows it. Defense proved more important than how good your QB was/is.
I’m not throwing up. I’m thinking home field advantage might have helped, but the reality is, this defense wasn’t going to win any Championship and the offense, no matter how brilliant, wasn’t enough.

Here's the deal...
Can’t win championships being elite on one side and crap on the other. Elite on one side would require at least middle of the road on the other. Top tier offense needs average defense, top tier defense needs average offense. Can’t win with just defense, anymore, but offense isn’t all that is required, either. I doubt we’d have scored before they would’ve in OT, not the way their O and our D played in that last 3 minutes.

Even if it ends up being a 49ers vs. Ravens Super Bowl
I still think that “defense wins championships” is one of those TV pundit myths.
The previous 5 Super Bowls have featured 6 top 10 defenses (06 Bears, 07 Giants, 07 Patriots, 08 Steelers, 10 Packers, 10 Steelers) and 6 top 10 offenses (06 Colts, 07 Patriots, 08 Cardinals, 09 Saints, 09 Colts, 10 Packers). Teams with top 10 defenses won 3 times; teams with top 10 offenses won 3 times. (There is overlap because some teams have both top 10 offenses and defenses). Not exactly what I would call overwhelming evidence.
What it DOES indicate, though, is that you need playmakers on both sides of the ball to be able to win championships consistently.

Their defense caused those turnovers.
Like we did in ‘09. Well, not exactly in the same way, but they hunted the ball no matter who had it and it’s no accident that our rbs were fumbling when PT rarely fumbles. Last time was Tampa Bay for PT, but it’s not that common.
I think it wasn’t just an inept offense messing up, it was an offense that wasn’t quite prepared for SFs defense. And our defense, well, they couldn’t come up with the stop and that was no big surprise. The string ran out, just like it did in Seattle. Just can’t make that crucial stop on the most important game they played.

So, Scott Norwood and the Bills are goats for blowing a tightly contested Super Bowl, but Roman Harper and the Saints deserve a hall pass for falling two games short of that stage? Granted, we were on the road, while Super Bowls are played on neutral fields. I still think the term “goats” enters the fray whenever you lose a game you were favored to win.

We don’t have a Super Bowl defense and haven’t compensated for that fact with takeaways all season
Agree. we didnt lose because of our offense, we lost because of our defense not being clucth in the 4rth quarter. a lot of ppl have been saying the defense kept it close, but realistically the 49ers offense is conservative and kicks fgs like the saints score touchdowns. and we lost because of our 2 special team turnovers. i must imagine this is how vikings fans must have felt after that nfc championship game (botched handoff, the PI flag in OT)
however, if we win against the 49ers and have to face the giants, id say we have a good shot at winning the SB

I disagree
It doesn’t feel that way in the wake of yesterday’s fiasco, but teams can win championships primarily with offense, as the Saints, Patriots and Colts have proven in recent Super Bowls. The problems arise when you stop respecting your opponent and completely abandon trying to improve the defensive side of the ball.

Year of the QB, but playoffs have been about Defenses
When refs stop calling all the touchy PIs and holdings, life becomes a lot easier when u have justin smith, aldon smith or j. tuck, pierre-paul, osi u. and u can drop back 7 defenders. pretty sure thats the only proven way of beating top notch qbs (07 superbowl, packs losses this year, our losses to the rams, niners).
in regards to CP
his comments are consistently anti-Saints players and he consistently is a bully, being intimidating to excellent loyal Sainst fans who buckle to him thinking his verbose and circuitous arguments make sense. How many potential posters has CSC lost becuase of his comments that are designed to stifle and repress. If CP is a true, loyal Saints fan who bleeds black and gold, I CHALLENENGE CP to prove something that will illustrate that now. Don’t brag about your season tickets or your Motel 6 reservations 2009. What do you have for real? When have you been positive, cheered your team on or given any credit to these players giving it all for their team? Otherwise his admission that he is just a "Saints rooter" speaks for itself. A pitiful admission of someone who really doesn’t support this team through thick and thin. Just goes on a blog and slams football players, great athlets, who make errors sometimes just like any professional athlete does.

LOL you’re so out there. Let’s break this post down:
Vincent Jackson has a better skills set than any ONE of our receivers. It doesn’t matter how many records we set. We didn’t win the Super Bowl. Brees is standing around in the pocket in excess of 4 seconds and not ONE receiver can gain downfield separation. If you don’t understand the difference an true difference maker at WR can make in an offense, I can’t help you.
Can LBs not be considered pass rushers?
I’ve been mildly critical of Colston when it’s warranted. Same goes for Nicks and Evans. Sproles had a great season. He’s a player I was elated they picked up. If he starts to fumble or run backwards regularly on punt returns, you can bet I’ll be critical of him, also.
The whole league doesn’t think Bushrod is awesome.

It’s not constantly negative, at all. There have been several games where we maintained adequate offensive balance throughout and won handily because of it. I’ve been quick to point that out. In the underrated/overrated thread, I mentioned Quddus’s contributions as a rookie, when no one else even thought to bring him up. How is that negative?

No, this needs to be said
someone needs to stand up for our Saints who came 40 seconds away from the NFC championship and had a great, record breaking season and were so close to going all the way but got defeated on the road by a team that played a tiny bit better and deserves all the credit. It shoudn’t be slam Roman Harper or Greg Williams or Sean Payton or The Saints.

Brees makes up a lot of flaws, and Pierre Thomas makes up the rest.
Bring back Aaron Brooks! He's the only one who can save us from the evil that is Drew Brees!!

-TexansDC
you need to evaluate the rest of the NFL. If any of our linemen
went out on the free market- they would get scooped up. It’s not all Drew Brees. Faine. Goodwin, and others went away and were paid handsomely because they were good- not because they kbew Drew Brees. Goodwin is in the NFC Championship. But, I know, he ws only good because Brees touched his a**. Same would happen for Evans, Bushrod, Strief, etc. They are good. They pass block and run block.
"We've established the run; we've established the pass. Now all we have to establish is another championship!"
"Some say the glass is half empty;

Where did I ever say Goodwin wasn't good?
I thought he was good and am still upset, but understand why, the Saints had to let him walk. And the Saints guards ARE elite. The rest aren’t. Strief is decent-good depending on the day though.

I agree that Nicks outperformed Evans this season. Still an elite tandem, imo. Maybe not both deserving of their Pro Bowl nods, but it’s extremely rare that the most deserving make that cut. Andrew Whitworth had arguably the best season of any offensive lineman in the league and he isn’t in it.

see, again,
2 excellent guards make the pro bowl. A difficult accomplishment in that you can’t count their yardage, # sacks, # recpetions etc as a yardstick. . Clearly these guards have the respect of New Orleans Saints fans, but that’s a small market so clearly they got votes from other teams fans, coaches, players, etc. and you still need to suggest that maybe some were better.

False. Rushing yards can most certainly be attributed to specific offensive linemen, just as sacks given up can be demerited.

Our O-line isn't bad....our tackles are. Find where I ever said a bad word regarding Nicks or Evans....I dare ya.
-Lombardi was wrong...it's the internet, not fatigue that makes cowards of us all. But then again, what do you expect. Not like the guy could see the future.
Disagree.
Strief was good after the injury. Not all pro, but made few mistakes.

Strief is decent unless blocking vs speed rushers…he problems with speed. He’s an average RT. There’s reasons we’ve been playing double protection on the outside with constant chipping to the LT and RT since the Rams game.
-Lombardi was wrong...it's the internet, not fatigue that makes cowards of us all. But then again, what do you expect. Not like the guy could see the future.
True.
He doesn’t make me hate him like Bushrod does though. So, there’s that. :P

"I will now attempt to exclude specific large amounts of TOP from the totals of winning teams, in order to prove that TOP doesn't contribute to winning." -Dr. Jeremy Arkes
Agreed. There’s both serviceable. My main problem…Bushrod fails against the bullrush a lot, Strief struggles with speed. Wouldn’t be as noticeable if we didn’t throw it as often as we do. Bushrod, however, i think is noticeably worse in rush blocking.
-Lombardi was wrong...it's the internet, not fatigue that makes cowards of us all. But then again, what do you expect. Not like the guy could see the future.
Agree.
I think Strief may only seem to be better because he’s at RT instead of LT.

tackles bad, huh? We set NFL passing records and had an excellent running game
Sproles had mores ypc than any RB and PT had more YPC than guys like A Foster, A Peterson, Ray Rice, Bradshaw, Benson, Forte, and almost everyone else. Their Sack rate was pretty low- after all Brees set a record for pass attempts. What more did they need to do?

Not to be mean, but I hope so.
It makes me feel better. It just makes it all like an epiphany: The best QB didn’t matter as much as having a corresponding defense. Superior on one side is not enough.
And get this: I don’t like Aaron Rodgers! I can’t stand the smirk after almost any and every completed pass and despise the discount double check/wrestler championship thing he does.
He’s probably a fine person. He’s a great QB but I wasn’t looking forward to him repeating. Nope.

Poor Chase Daniel. He’s going to be starting behind a Div III OL in 2015.

Isn’t he also a free agent? Kellen Moore will be playing behind them in 2015 heh.

Who do you think the last remaining member of the 2009 SB champion team will be?

In terms of future tenure with the Saints. I don’t mean last to die.

Morestead. Punters last a long time….and even the greatest punters outside of people on the Raiders are affordable.

I was thinking that, but Payton’s so quick on the trigger to release those guys when they eff up. Still seems like a pretty safe bet. If Jenkins remains serviceable, he’ll probably look to cash in in UFA at some point.

Having the ball is better than not having the ball. And if you punt,
not only does it mean you don't have the ball anymore—
it means you didn't score, which sucks.

Also regarding those turnovers
We have to give credit to the niners for those. They made creating turnovers a priority and that was the result. In 2009 something that pissed me off to no end was fans of other teams saying “we beat ourselves” when it was the Saints that forced the majority of those. Credit where it’s due – they did what we should have continued after our 2009 season.
Im curious how harbaugh goes about practice...
Weather a Stanford or SF, his teams are tougher, and more disciplined. They don’t beat themselves and the defenders secured the tackle first and then the other guys tried to rip the ball out. He is a maniac in way also—I’m thinking those practices must be intense as hell.

Sproles just lost the ball on his PR fumble
Roby fumbles it on the KO, tries to regroup only to lose it again. Neither are the PT collision, but the result goes on the stat sheet, our bad.

and on their kickoffs, kicker placed them at or near the goal-line, leading to runbacks
and in the 1st Q, sun in their eyes
that was good strategy and execution by Niners
opening kickoff was deep, but Sproles usually runs them out unless his heels are on the backline, and sometimes even that doesn’t stop him (hyperbole alert: Sproles averaged mid-20 yards on KO returns, but our average starting field position for the season on his KO runbacks was in the high teens – GAAA!!) – and he took a knee – I was SHOCKED
