The Saints last game was on the road against the Carolina Panthers. With the number one seed locked up the Saints rested most of their starters and gave playing time to other football players on the 53 man roster. With nothing on the line accept pride, the Saints...or rather the Saints' back ups lost 10-23. Even though they lost and did not put up a fight there were some players that had an impact on the game, unfortunately most came from the Carolina side.
The rare few that did a good job for the Saints in their last regular season game are:
Runningback Lynell Hamilton. The former San Diego State stand out had a great all around game. In total he collected 86 yards. Hamilton ran for 48 yards on ten carries and caught 3 passes for 38 yards. I like that even though he does not see a [...]

What a game - the Falcons almost...ALMOST....almost threatened the Saints undefeated season thus far (knock on wood) with their last minute efforts...seriously, the last minute of the game seemed to take FOREVER with the Falcons trying their best to claw at the Saints and sneak out of the Big Easy with a win. Luckily the Saints held it together long enough for the clock to read 0:00 which I was very relieved to see - that was a huge win for the Saints, because if they had lost the game the Falcons would only be a game out of first place in the NFC South (Saints would have been 6-1 and the Falcons would have been breathing down their necks with a record of 5-2)...now the Saints are 7-0 and the Falcons are 4-3...probably the best 4-3 team in the league, though their loses come from [...]

The Saints stay undefeated...YaHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Completely pushing the New York Giants around this past Sunday in the Super Dome 48-27. The Saints (5-0) used their bye week from week 5 and had an excellent game plan prepared to make a Giants team - thought to be one of the contenders in the whole NFL, appear to be pretenders against the Saints. The Saints were running on full cylinder and now should start to receive more of the spotlight when the talk swings to legitimate title contenders.
Lets get right into the Star Studded Saints from Week 6...
Drew Brees quarterbacked a perfect game....even his quarterback rating was near perfect (however the heck that thing is tabulated). Brees threw for 367 yards against a fierce Giants defense. Brees also completed 23 of 30 passes, four of [...]

This week 4 match up of the Jets rumbling it out with the Saints was the game I was wanting to watch most...unfortunately the snobby CEOs who make all the decisions did not showcase it on national television - oh well, I had to settle for updates from James Brown on CBS....could be worse ;-)
The Saints were victorious 24-10, giving the Jets head coach (Rex Ryan) and rookie quarterback (Mark Sanchez ) their first career loss. The Saints really seemed to rattle Sanchez's cage - which is something that he has not expereinced a lot at the professional level, nor at the collegiate level when he played at USC. It will be interesting how Sanchez deals with bouncing back - I remember watching Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay duke it out on ESPN about all sorts of issues, but focusing on when they [...]
