What i see up here i hope NO can avoid. the bfans and media over react to so many things. if mc nabb has a bad quarter, if andy reid calls a bad game, there is the tumultous knee-jerk reaction and paranoia, panic and chaos result. it seems the team must read the blogs and watch the news, commentaries, etc and they get caught into it and what was a bad half of football instantaneously spawns a movement to change coaches, quarterbacks, linebackers, etc and to make trades and change philosophy and game plans, etc. i know this has a tendency to happen evrywhere to some degree, but it's incredibly extreme in eagles territory and i think it handicaps the team and is one reason they just can never get over the hump i just wanted to add one m ore point. my perspective is different than a lot of Saints fans. i live in Eagles territory and i hate the Eagles.

I felt like we were the better team, but (1) we kept killing ourselves with stupid penalties in the first quarter, and (2) when the schizo game switched from a fifties' style defensive struggle into an ABA game with two minutes left to go in the third, nobody was able to step up on defense and make a big play, and an INT on fourth down always seems anticlimactic for some reason. Just spike the effin' ball down. If there's any consolation, our defense got better as the year went on in 2006. You’re nitpicking, but I had the same feeling.

Hey Philinwood, thanks for stopping by and especially for leaving a comment, which always makes my day. I hear ya. I know I'm being contrarian here, even though the defense LOOKED a hell of a lot better to me too. I was very happy with the game overall, in fact. There's a reason they call it "midseason form." The Saints aren't there yet, but then again, it's not midseason either. 1-0 after a home divisional win is more than enough. I get it, and I'm right there. But hey, I try to give you stuff you're not gonna find elsewhere, you know? You think Pete Finney is gonna try to point out that the offense was better than they looked and the defense might not have been as good as they looked after this game? No way in hell. That would require putting a little thought into it. :hihi: LatinTeacher... :bigbow: When possible, I try to find some sort of tangential relevance when selecting a Today's Tuneski. The more tangential and hard to decipher, the better. Never Enough is me poking fun at myself for bitching after such a nice win. And of course the Japanese baby reference is for Scotty Badass. :9: Good stuff all around guys.
