CHAMPS not CHUMPS!!!

Wow!!! This has been one crazy season of football for Saints fans. Mixed with highs and lows. Most of the lows coming at home mind you, but still a lot more highs than lows. Nine to be exact.

There is a terminology or coach speak that you take it one game at a time. This is so true after a loss. Yet, after a win like we had last week the city of New Orleans and Saints nation world wide was dreaming of sugar plums and Super Bowls. Let's remember that this is the same team that won 3 games last year!!! That's the same amount of times I scream out every game that Fred Thomas is killing us. Then I remember that we are without our starting safety and our back-up Omar Stoutmire was out last week too. Not good.

I did see some things that were promising for the game on Sunday. Connor Payton looks like he could replace Fetch monster as our new tee retriever. I did like the fact that our defense didn't break under much pressure from the Skins. They pounded us and were in the redzone 4 times only to come away with 16 points. Can someone explain to me why Fred Thomas is still playing cornerback for our New Orleans Saints? The guy has a club hand, gets burnt more than Toi Cook on Flipper Anderson, and I see more of his backside every game which is not his best side. I think I may have also jinxed the Saints by wearing my 2001 NFC West Divisional Champs T-shirt while watching the game.

We still won the division which to me is the biggest shocker because if you asked me 3 months ago I would have laughed and called you an insurance adjuster. Although many us are hitting a bit of a low with the Saints after the loss we must remember where we came from and that we are in the playoffs. I'm definitely looking forward to this weekend we play the Giants at the Saints unofficial second home (Giants Stadium). After the Giants annihilated our decimated team last year on national television right after Katrina, I would love nothing more than to eliminate them from the playoffs at their home on the second to last week of the season. There's no turning back now. We're headed to the playoffs!!! What's more surprising than that is that the Saints have a waiting list for season ticket holders!!! Hold on. I need to read that again... Yup, that's right the Saints have a waiting list for season tickets. THE SAINTS ARE COMING!!!
