re: Defense showing promise!

Did Rivers play?

That was our 1's on dline vs there 1's on oline.

We dominated that match-up. Excitement and optimism is warranted.

you mean their same number ones last week who the seahawks scored 48 points against?

if the saints had scored 50 then i would say they did an "ok", average job because we should at least be equal to the seahawks talent level but the saints have no excuse not to have put up 50 points on them as well or at minimum, in the high 30's. you can say any given week is different so i'll give you that and thery still have no excuse not to at least have put up half the points seattle did but they go noi where close to 24 points either and could barely muster 3 field goals to get the win.

no doubt it was a "feel good" type of game if you dont consider how bad the other team was. the saints did some good things against weak competition, that is about all you can say about last night.

lots of things "looked good" but when they do it against "real" teams, then i will agree it is time to be optimistic. but until then, we can only hope they can do as well when facing a better team.
