Super Saints Weekly 266 - (12/18)

Super Saints Weekly 266 Player of the Game This week?s Player of the Game for the Saints is quarterback Drew Brees. While Brees has had more impressive games than his 315 yard passing performance this week which resulted in 2 touchdowns with 26 completions on 30 attempts, he once again stepped up to the challenge of [...]

Bush Could Return Sunday; Still Important to Saints Offense - (12/18)

The Times-Picayune?s Mike Triplett reported yesterday that Saints RB Reggie Bush could return to the field in Sunday?s game against the Eagles.  Bush will attempt to test his knee stability in practice this week.  The Heisman Trophy winner has been inactive for the past two games due to a torn PCL. Returning Bush to the lineup might [...]

Saints Defense Leading the Charge in Playoff Push - (12/17)

Making its presence felt in perhaps the most vital game of the season, the Saints defense came alive Sunday.  In yesterday?s ultra-important, playoff-chance-improving win, the Black-and-Gold defense forced two critical turnovers, giving the offense the field position it needed to get past a gritty Cardinals team. Middle linebacker Scott Fujita played inspired football against Arizona, posting 10 [...]

Super Saints Weekly 265 - (12/12)

Super Saints Weekly 265 Player of the Game This week?s Player of the Game for the Saints could be one of many players considering that several of the team?s role players stepped up this week to help pull out a victory. However, after much consideration, this week?s Player of the Game award goes to wide receiver [...]

Two Savvy Backups Give the Saints Spark They Need - (12/11)

Emerging from relative obscurity Monday night, WR David Patten and RB Aaron Stecker posted season highs in yards gained as New Orleans cruised to a 34-14 shellacking of division rival Atlanta. Patton, who had a 109-yard game earlier this season against San Francisco, caught nine balls for 122 yards and a touchdown. Before last night?s game, Aaron [...]

Saints Ground Falcons; Remain Alive in Playoff Race - (12/10)

The dark cloud of Michaell Vick’s sentencing hung over the Falcons franchise Monday night and the Saints took full advantage. Drew Brees posted another spectacular performance, throwing three touchdowns in a 34-14 blowout in front of a relatively sparse Georgia Dome crowd. The Saints offense got whatever they wanted against a uninspired Falcons defense.  Brees through 41 passes and completed 28 of them.   Aaron [...]

Saints Face Must-Win Tonight vs. Falcons - (12/10)

The last time New Orleans and Atlanta met on a Monday night, the rebirth of a city hung in the balance.  Tonight, the playoff hopes of a consistently inconsistent Saints squad are at stake.  At 5-7, the Saints still have some life in the seemingly always mediocre NFC wildcard race.  More likely than not, a 9-7 [...]

Saints? Bush Likely out for Season with Knee Injury - (12/07)

Saints RB Reggie Bush became the second New Orleans ballcarier today to go down with a knee injury this season.  The good news is it’s not a serious as Deuce McAllister’s torn ACL. Bush will likely miss the remainder of the season with a torn PCL (posterior cruciate ligament), but will not have to undergo surgury [...]

Super Saints Weekly 264 - (12/05)

Super Saints Weekly 264 Player of the Game This week?s Player of the Game for the Saints is quarterback Drew Brees. While the Saints lost this week, it wasn?t due to the play of Brees. Brees played a solid game, finishing with 17 of 23 and two touchdown passes. While his performance wasn?t spectacular, [...]

An Injured Garcia is the Key to Saints Victory - (11/29)

Sunday?s interdivision showdown between the Saints and Bucs is certainly the biggest game of the season to date for the Saints and perhaps the Bucs, as well. If injuries are any indication, the Saints seem to have the upper hand as they prepare to cut the Buc?s two-game division lead in half.  Defensive tackle Brian Young is [...]

Saints Poised to Make a Run - (11/26)

The Saints are right back in the thick of things.  With a dominating 31-6 win over Carolina on Sunday, New Orleans remains two games behind Tampa Bay in the NFC South and right smack in the middle of the NFC wildcard race. With the Bucs coming to town this Sunday in an all-important division matchup, the [...]

Super Saints Weekly 162 - (11/19)

Super Saints Weekly 262 Player of the Game This week?s Player of the Game for the Saints in a losing effort was quarterback Drew Brees. Brees appears to be continuing to do everything in his power to try and get the Saints on track, but dropped passes, fumbles, & blown coverages on defense continue to plague [...]

Saints Plauged By Inconsistency In Second Straight Loss - (11/19)

Congratulations go out to the Saints who have now reclaimed their spot as least understandable team in the NFL. This week?s 23-10 loss to the Houston Texans made just enough ?non sense? to push New Orleans past San Diego for the No. 1 ranked underachiever in the NFL this year. Traditional thinking says that a majority of [...]

Saints Rally Comes Up Short - (11/13)

On the opening drive, the Saints looked like a team from the past four weeks. A 37 yard pass interference call helped New Orleans downfield as Reggie Bush scored on a seven yard touchdown run. From then on till the 4th quarter, the Saints looked like the team that started off the season. At one point [...]

Saints Abandon Run: Fall to Rams 37-29 - (11/11)

The Saints lost today for the first time in a month.  With a 0-8 record, the St. Louis Rams entered the Super Dome with nothing to lose and played a complete game against an unfocused Saints team.  In their opening drive, New Orleans looked like the team that had won four games in a row.  They [...]

Super Saints Weekly 261 - (11/05)

Super Saints Weekly 261 Wagon on Fire! Stay Back! Last season the Saints went into the year with no expectations to accomplish anything beyond the locker room or perhaps with some die hard Saints fans who believed in their team. They used this approach to band together and by adding a few key pieces to the [...]

Saints vs. Jags Preview: Can the Saints Stop the Run? - (11/02)

The 5-2 Jacksonville Jaguars will travel to the Super Dome this Sunday to take on a resurgent 3-4 Saints team.  This is a matchup of teams whose records don?t properly represent the level at which they are playing.  New Orleans is a team on the rise.  After losing four straight games to open the season, the Saints [...]

Saints Win Big Over the 49ers - (10/30)

Sean Payton and company came into San Francisco and got a much needed win to improve their record to 3-4. This victory puts them a half game behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and one game behind the Carolina Panthers for first place of the NFC South. The Saints got things started on their first offensive play [...]

Super Saints Weekly 260 - (10/29)

Super Saints Weekly 260 Underdog Title Working Again The Saints won their third straight this week with a victory against the slumping San Francisco 49ers. After starting the season 0-4, the Saints were written off by most people and their season was expected to be one that was supposed to be full of promise, but instead [...]

Saints O-Line Big Reason for 3rd Straight Win - (10/29)

After rereading my hasty acceptance of this Saints season as a complete failure after their fourth-consecutive loss, I now admit that I was a little harsh.  It was only a four game losing streak and the Saints obviously had the talent in place to make a turn around.  Now three games and subsequently three wins later, [...]

Saints Look to Keep Streak Alive - (10/27)

The Saints go into San Francisco Sunday with a two game win streak and a chance to close the lead in the NFC South. Reggie Bush will have to be a key factor to the Saints’ success. Last year, Bush compiled for four touchdowns and 168 total yards in a 34-10 victory [...]

Saints See Improvement in 2nd Straight Win - (10/23)

Before I try to break down the Saints 22-16 win over the Falcons yesterday, I’ll take a moment to look at their season record.  Two wins, four loses. That is slightly better, I think, than one win and five losses.  So it doesn?t matter that the Saints didn?t look that good against Atlanta.  The most important [...]

Super Saints Weekly 259 - (10/22)

Super Saints Weekly 259 Player of the Game This week?s Player of the Game honor was yet another tough call due to the gritty performances of several players. However, upon further review, this week?s honors are split between two players, going to running backs Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas. Both of these running backs played [...]

Super Saints Weekly 258 - (10/15)

Super Saints Weekly 258 Why Football Is Important One week ago I found myself having felt the sweetest of highs watching LSU win perhaps one of the best games I ever had the pleasure to watch as they defeated Florida, only to feel a horrifying low the following day as I watched my beloved Saints lose a [...]

Running Diary of Saints vs. Seahawks - (10/14)

7:23?Mack Strong, now that guy is a stud.  How do you play 15 years in the NFL at fullback at not be stud.  He?s a headbuster, bottom line 7:25?Second play from scrimmage and the Seahawks find a wide open receiver for a 15 yard pick up.  I have a sneaking feeling that?s going to happen a [...]
