Blackened Falcon…………..YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Saints, after gaining some momentum with their first win of the season against the Seahawks, marched back onto their home field to take on the hated Dirty Birds. No we didn’t get any blocked punts or field goals, but we didn’t need to. Yeah they got their cheap yards off our defense and Drew threw some stupid passes, but we scored when we needed to and pulled this one out 22-16 over the Falcons.

Defense was OK finishing with 3 sacks and registering a total of 8 sacks in the last two games after only having 1 in the first four games

Pass Defense SUCKED!!!

We’re 2-4 after winning our first regular season game at home since the December 3rd 34-10 win over San Fransisco, who we play next week.

We’re still in this deal, but we still need to get better. Jacksonville is the game you’re looking at. If we beat a solid AFC opponent in Jacksonville to go 4-4, there’s your turning point.

Let’s go on the road and take care “a bidness” against the Niners and roll from there.

Our New Slogan (from JWD): WE GOT THIS!!!!!!!!

Week 7: B-

It’s a huge weekend when both LSU and the Saints win at home; savor it.

Fierce Tiger Battle

The battle-scared Tigers face yet another tough SEC opponent (part of a tough schedule that gets unnoticed every year in the BCS Standings) in the Auburn Tigers. LSU came out slow which was to be expected but proceeded to play sluggish much like they have been as of late. LSU, however, came back out in the second half and scored 19 unanswered points (not the easy way) to change the score from Auburn 17-7 to LSU 23-17. Auburn would come back to get a touchdown, but LSU would answer which a last second TD which was INSANE, but worked.

LSU was in field goal range and therefore in range to win the game with the score Auburn 24-23 and with one timeout left when Les Miles decided to go for the end zone with a play that would later RUN OUT THE CLOCK! Demetrius Byrd would come up with the catch to give the “Bayou Bengal” Tigers a big 30-24 win over Auburn and keep their national championship hopes alive.
