Something for all concerned Saints fans to chew on



Like most Who Dats, yesterday’s loss to the Bucs combined with last weekend’s loss to the Cowboys has me feeling a little deflated. After all, the football pundits are always crowing about how important it is to be playing your best football going into the playoffs in order to have any success in the playoffs. But here’s some recent history to keep in mind:

-The 2008 Super Bowl Champion New York Giants lost their last four home games and two out of their last three overall going into the playoffs.

-The 2007 Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts were 2-3 in December.

-The team that barely lost in last year’s Super Bowl, the Arizona Cardinals, lost 4 of their last 6 games by a combined score of 167-70.

-The San Diego Chargers are 18-0 in December since 2006. The number of times they’ve been to the Super Bowl in that span…zero.

So is there reason to be concerned? Yes, absolutely, we’ve played, ugh, unwell of late. But is it time to panic? No, absolutely not.

But still…THE FUCKING BUCS?!?!?!

I'm not concerned about their chances of winning the SuperBowl. But I would like to know if I can buy a #13 Saints Jersey Anywhere?

Picayune is still probably my most favorite word ever.

Lagniappe is my favorite word.

I have faith that we might get a little something extra this year.
