Saints roll on pass the Bucs

The Saints had an easy win today against the Bucs. In the past we have had trouble against Tampa on the Bucs home turf, but today there was no battle. First half began with a 95 yd presss for a TD by thr Bucs, but that would be it for them. The Saints had 194 yards in the first half, 154 of those from Brees' arm, mostly to colston and Thomas. Meecham had 2 touchdowns, his first multitouchdown game. In the second half the Saints came marching in again. Literally guys, the second half of this was all about Michael Bell and Pierre Thomas marching the ball straight down the field for 3 touchdowns. It hardly looked like they broke a sweat. Bucs gave up 3 interceptions and a fumble forced by Scott Fujita whose back in action from his injury. The Bucs only score was the 1st quarter touchdown, the rest of the games was dominated by the Saints. With the Falcon's loss to the Giants today in overtime, the Saint's commanding lead in the NFC South stays even stronger. Here's a shot of Michael Bell doing what he does best...running!


Final score: NO 38, TB: 7. Next week should be a real battle against the Patriots, not like today which was more like a walk in Audubon Park. Till next time, I hope God blesses yall this week and may the wind be always at your back. James - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Saints do it again!!

     Saints had a narrow miss this past Sunday. Saints scored 2 touchdowns in the 2^nd quarter by Reggie Bush, one from a 3 yd rush, the other from a 15 yd short pass. “Yeah, he’s a handful,” Rams linebacker James Laurinaitis said. “He’s a game changer.”  It’s was the first time in a year that Bush done that in 1 game.  Wide receiver Courtney Roby started the 3^rd quarter with a 97 yd punt return for a touchdown.

       Rams took advantage of their running game and Saint’s 3 turnovers for a few touchdowns and did not let the Saints get too far ahead, especially in the 1^st half.  However, they could not manage to put together enough points to end the game.  A key loss for St. Louis was an incomplete pass in the endzone that would have put them in the lead at the end of the game. The final score was 28-23.  Rams are 0-4 at home. It was their 9^thconsecutive home loss, and it broke the Saints 2 game losing streak against the Rams. The Saints have both a

 knack for working well under pressure in the 4^th  quarter, but also a knack for bumbling up against the easy teams.  Luckily, the former came through and the boys continue their 9-0 undefeated season.  QB Drew Brees comments: “We’re not content with where we’re at, and we’re certainly not content with the way we’ve played these last few weeks,”. “We need to close the game out when we’re given the opportunity,” said Brees.  The still have a command lead in the NFC South. Next week is a divisional game against the Bucks.  Who Dat!

Will the Saints beat their franchise undefeated record?

Saints now 7-0.  If they beat Carolina this Sunday they will be 8-0, first time in franchise history.  One of my favorite highlights from this season was Reggie Bush's 6 yard leap to the end zone against the Dolphins.  You've gotta see this to believe it.

We all know he's a Saint, but this is truly a leap of faith.  Here's the youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br9IwWQPew8

The Saints have made the front cover of Sports Illustrated twice this season so far and if they do well against Carolina they'll be holding a formidable lead in the NFC south.  I'm really impressed with how well both coach Paton and defensive cordinator Williams have brought this team into such a well balanced squad ready to face any opponent in their path. WHO DAT!
