Default Saints playing hardball with P. Thomas... why?

Well since we have a few Saints fans on here, i figure we could start our own Saints Thread


First off, so far so good through this season. Its the first time we have come close to a complete team. 8-0, should be 10-0 going into New England

Today, we signed Earl Heyman, a two year started at Louisville, to a Rookie Contract.

----------------------

Thank god, with Klancy and Sed out we need some help in the middle. Even if he just did summer camp with us, it adds another option

Surprisingly, The Rams have a decent shot. If they can not turn the ball over and control the line for a period of time, there's a a shot. With Sed Ellis out, its evident that we are lacking in the run defense category. Hargrove can play a good Pass Rush, and came up big with that TD last game, but he cannot stop the run. I am worried about this game.

A Saints win is pretty much guaranteed. Unless Brees loses an arm or something of that nature, I think they are good to go.

I guess miracles do happen, but it is just not likely. Its the Rams...

No win is guaranteed, no matter what team. The Rams have sort of been an achilles for us in the past this year is no different.

You guys serious? To me, this is a chance to win back the money i lost last week. They are giving 13.5 to the rams but this is going to be a blowout.

Yeah I might throw my entire betting pool on this one. The odds makers are going off the last 2 performances when making the spread. The 2 previous teams the Saints played were WAY better.

If they lose, we have to call them the Aints for a week.

As Saints fans we are just worried our Offense comes out cold, and Jackson will have a field day on our injured defense , i dont think we have a chance of loosing, but the chance is minimal.

Saints safety Darren Sharper missed Wednesday's practice with a knee injury. Saints Coach Sean Payton said the injury occurred during Sunday's game against Carolina, but he declined to offer any specific details.
He did say he's optimistic that Sharper, cornerback Jabari Greer (groin) and center Jonathan Goodwin (ankle) will recover quickly from their injuries, though.
He also said he's cautiously optimistic that defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis (knee) might be able to get back on the practice field this week, though Ellis did not practice Wednesday. Strongside linebacker Scott Fujita (calf) did return to practice on a limited basis Wednesday.
Also, receiver Marques Colston and offensive tackle Zach Strief missed Wednesday with the flu (regular, not swine). Payton hopes they'll return Thursday.
Safety Darren Sharper added to New Orleans Saints' injury list | New Orleans Saints Central - - NOLA.com


Thank god its only the Rams, we can't be missing him

Assuming the Saints maintain focus, keep the Popeye's chicken grease off their hands, and don't get hold of some bad oysters, this should be an easy "W". There are still some tough games ahead (@TB, NE, @ATL, DAL).

I think 11-12 wins is easily attainable as well as the almost guaranteed NFC South title. Minnesota, Dallas, and Arizona will be obstacles in the play-offs but a super Bowl berth (which I would love to see) is a definite possibility.

They actually looked pretty descent last week beating Green Bay.

Have the Rams surrendered yet?

I really think the league should give them that option. Maybe Fox shows a couple of episodes of 24 instead of the game.

But cornerback Jabari Greer (groin), defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis (knee), center Jonathan Goodwin (ankle), receiver Lance Moore (ankle) and offensive tackle Zach Strief (flu) all did not practice.
Linebacker Scott Fujita (calf) also participated Thursday on a limited basis.
Saints Coach Sean Payton said he is still optimistic that Greer might be able to play Sunday at St. Louis because of the nature of his injury, but he did not elaborate on any of the other injuries.
New Orleans Saints injury updates - NOLA.com

Not listed and hopefully it was him paranoid is Shockey who said he thought he was coming down with the flu a day or so ago.

We will win at least 14 games...hopefully more because that still may not achieve us home field advantage through...


Also another interesting thing i found: Statistically Drew Bree's is better in the last 8 games of the year compared to the first 8...It has happened every year of his career...Good for us :P
