The Saints WON!
What a game!!!
That first quarter was scary if you were a Saints fan and even going into half time with the score 6-10. But the Saints have been down before and came to win 31-17. One of the most impressive numbers is the fact that the Saints' defense held the Colts' offense to 17 points. The tenacious Jets defense could not even do that, and what is really impressive is that the Saints had a similar game to the one they played against the Vikings in the NFC Championship game. Here are some of the statistics:
Total Yards:
Colts: 432 Saints: 332
3rd Downs:
Colts: 6 out of 13 Saints: 3 out of 9
Rushing: Attempts/Yards/Average
Colts: 19/99/5.2 Saints: 18/51/2.8
Passing: Attempts/ Yards/Average
Colts: 31-45/333/7.4 Saints: [...]

As a Colts fan, this game really disappointed me. But hey, the New Orleans Saints wanted it more. They needed this. After all New Orleans has gone through for the past few years with Hurricane Katrina and all that. Along with that, the Saints were never a good football team. The NFC Championship was the farthest they’ve ever gone before the season started. And they only made the NFC Championship once in their life.
The Saints were undervalued. With losing to teams like the Buccaneers with their starters, the Saints were not favorites entering the playoffs. They proved everyone wrong. And then, the heroics of Tracy Porter came in the NFC Championship game. After that pick, it was over. It happened last night in the Super Bowl, against a high-powered Colts’ team.
The first quarter [...]

Happy Thanksgiving! The start of "Holiday Season" is today, a festive time of the year that extends from Thanksgiving until New Year's Day. It is also the time of the year when the National Football League playoff picture starts to intensify with almost every game. On Monday Night Football at the Louisiana Superdome, the 10-0 New Orleans Saints will host the 7-3 New England Patriots which may very well be the last Monday Night Football game of the season to feature two playoff teams.
The Patriots defeated the New York Jets last week 31-14 at home to bring their record in the AFC East to 3-1. The Patriots forced Jets QB Mark Sanchez into five turnovers and Patriots WR [...]

Today the Saints added a three time pro bowler to their roster in Chris McAlister. A former 10th overall pick by the Ravens in 1999, McAlister has been apart of many good defenses constructed by the Ravens' coaching staff, is a very physical defensive back, has a super bowl ring to his resume, and fills a big need the Saints have right now with BOTH Jabari Greer and Tracy Porter out with injuries. McAlister isn't a ball-hawk like his counter in Baltimore Ed Reed is, and now current teammate Darren Sharper, so do not expect a lot of interceptions (only 26 in his 10 year career with the Ravens) but McAlister is going to get a lot of Pass Deflections with his physical style of play which should fit in well with defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' planning and play calling. The only concern [...]
