Saints Lead-Up

We have a "trap game" against a team that is on a 19-game home winning streak?

EDIT: When Payton is the coach, that is.

He had to have been joking.

Congratulations! You picked a great city. And to top it off with a Packers game. Well done sir.

Must do's:

Jacque-Imo's for dinner (Snapper)
Willa Mae's for fried chicken
Frenchman St. for Jazz/Blues (Maison is my personal favorite)
Carrolton/Oak St. for Rock

Enjoy and bring home a W!

Thanks! My friend lives down there and recommended most of these places. We are going to be checking them all out. Can't wait.

Shields, Starks, Datone, and Burnett aren't practicing. Burnett's a new one. Good thing House is out there with his finger dislocation.

Christ you guys are sensitive.

Because we don't believe this fictional notion called "trap game" or because we didn't interpret your post properly as sarcasm?

I'm guessing Shields will be out until after the bye. Same with Datone. I'll say Starks and Burnett play Sunday.

Packers are #1 in QB rating against so far this year, which I found interesting. New Orleans is 24th.

Dat One is back practicing today with Starxxx. Shields and Burnett still watching.

I don't get a chance to always read this board so this maybe explained else where but is there a reason Jeff Risdon often says the Packers are the better team but will lose anyways in his weekly predictions?

What's a Jeff Risdon?

He writes the articles on the front page and seems to this sites football or at least draft expert

Yeah, this really is starting to become a more telling statistic with defenses. We can rush the passer and have a good, ball-hawking secondary.

The correlation between the Saints' record (2-4) and their 24th rank in that category is no coincidence.

He is a Lions fan and I think he lets a little personal bias slip through on the Packers

Packer Winning Formula
1. passing gets the lead
2. pass Defense gives good pass rush & coverage = interceptions
3. run the ball to eat the clock

Congrats! Ahh sazeracs... Hotel Foster in Milwaukee actually makes a pretty good one. I forgot to mention there is a place called Sylvains in the French Quarter owned by a guy from Wisconsin. We stopped for a few drinks before Jazz Fest two years ago. My wife ordered a bloody and was surprised when it came with a High Life pony. We told the bartender we usually only see beer chasers in the great state of Wisconsin. She's like, yeah the owners are from Wisco. Food looked good but we were kind of in a hurry. Enjoy NOLA!
