Saints lose to the dirty birds in the Dome! Phooey!

Saints gotta learn it's great to start strong, but you gotta keep up the intensity to the end. Hartley's gotta settle down in clutch situations. can't be hooking three kicks in three games when you're playing indoors, especially from the 29. And what was with Brees making some big mistakes? You don;t expect those from him.

But the bright side is this year's D line is stronger, and while the secondary is still getting carved up from time to time (look at what Gonzales did) due to their turnover style of defense, overall they are playing very well. I'm not worried about one loss. It should help the team analyze its performance and thus stronger. As in life, we usually learn a lot more from our failures than from our successes.

Geaux Saints!

Ask Sean why in the name of Pete did we attempt a field goal on 1st down?

Yeah! I guess he figured, since it is sudden death in OT, that all he needed was a quick and easy 3 points. Guess he didn't consider Hartley missing a 29 yarder in the dome.

Typical post-Super Bowl champ swoon...Pittsburgh experienced it last year, the Giants swooned in the 4th quarter the year before, the Steelers the year after Bill Cowher left, and the Pats ditto after they won their 3rd title in 4 years.

You don't get many opportunities to win even 1 Super Bowl, much less play in 2 or 3, at least the Saints made the most out of their opportunity last year.

In the meantime, the Colts are a solid 2-1 and in decent shape - very surprising b/c the Super Bowl LOSER generally underperforms and has rashes of key injuries the year after(ie-the Pats losing Brady in 2008, the Bears losing 1/2 of their defense in 2007, etc).
