Saints Stall, But History Marches On
I am baffled.
I won’t get into the incredible nosedive our offense took in the second quarter, nor shall I attempt to explain the tailspin the D sent the game into in the second half. I shall also refrain from commenting on the inept play calling of the second half resulting in a 20-17 overtime loss to the (now) 3-12 Buccaneers. I leave that to those who can refrain from Tourettical exposition. What I will say is that history is still being made at every Saints game.
Drew Brees has passed that Aaron Brooks (1,563) in passing completions with 1,572 to notch another Saints first place record. Brees also set a new team record with 19 consecutive completions in a game.
With 284 career receptions, Marques Colston has tied Tony Galbreath for fourth place. He is 25 receptions from Danny Abramowicz’ third place mark.
Charles Grant is up to 47 career sacks and in seventh place all-time needing 4 to take sixth place from LaRoi Glover (50)
Darren Sharper tied Dave Waymer at second place with nine interceptions in a season. He needs one to tie, or two to pass, Dave Whitsell’s 1967 mark of 10. At 376 Int-Yds, Sharper is just twenty yards from taking third pace from Dave Waymer (395).
As a team, the Saints have scored 503 points this season, the first time they have ever broken the 500-mark. They are 40 points past last years team record of 463 points.
Next stop: Carolina who leads the series 16-12.

Go Chicago Bears! i can not believe i’m even saying this!
come on!! you stupid bears..you can do it for us!!!!
wooohooo!!!!
And indeed, The stupid Bears came through. But we all know Brett can’t play in the cold.
:)
Oh, by the way… First time in History the New Orleans Saints have been the Number One Seed in the playoffs. But you knew that already!
was it just me, or did the ESPN talking heads just lust after Brett Favre the entire game?
at one point, one of the ref’s straighten his jersey. *sigh*
i shouldn’t care about all that hooey.
GEAUX SAINTS!
BWAH HAH HAH!
At one point the guy that’s not Jaworski or Gruden, (I think,) started listing Favres’ many qualities… ‘keen instinct, strong arms, long legs, etc…’ and I turned to Donna and continued for him… “dreamy eyes, manly chest, and an ass like a 12-year old schoolboy!”
I guess we shouldn’t make fun… without himwe’d only be the second seed.
(Maybe!)
You’re talking about golf, right?
Ummm, Loki, go find Tiger Woods’ blog, man.
Never thought I’d say this as a Saints fan, but thank you, Bears.
Keep flappin’ them gums Loki… We’re all looking forward to seeing you in a Saintsations outfit!
I could take the Dallas lost. They played well and we could not get clicking. But the Bucs ?!? We’re a better team that that. I won’t get into any details cause it still hurts but hopefully our playoff groove will be much better.
P.S. Thank you Bears!
M.S. it would be interesting if you did a post/question about how
the peeps out there feel about Sundays Saints game.
should we play our top guys or not?
seems pretty black and white to me.. but then, that’s just me.
Will do darlin’, just as soon as I can shake off the dead skin from last year!
